I have the entire high end XR series, and just today got the New Flash AT Blackout. It is a spectacular knife. I love this new direction for SOG. Thanks for the excellent review.

@bh613 2 года назад

Really appreciate and struggle to open flash with one hand. Advice is truly welcome.

@Madman6505 4 года назад

Awesome Sir. I ordered one! I always loved the larger flash (flash 2?) but it was never a knife that I reached for when I wanted something solid or rugged.

@carmelotansengco4605 2 года назад

Bought and urban gray version. I love it. I'm normally more into tactical knives but my Flash is among my favorites in my collection.

@mdubb4855 2 года назад

I’ve come to appreciate the SOG XR models after owning a couple of their entry level non assisted plus a couple of similar sized Benchmades (Grip, Freek) and Hogues. The SOG are a incredible deal in that select group. SOG’s decision to offer coated D2 is a clever move - D2 seems to stain more than rust, but having a coating in the pivot area is good thinking - and adding Cryogenic treatment to a steel that always worked well before Cryo is a nice upgrade. Mostly, that lock - strong. My only complaint is that the SOG XR is a little heavier than competing knives, like the Cold Steel Mini Recon. In the assisted market, the AT is right there in terms of Kershaw assisted etc weights. Thanks for the in depth review!

@ronalrocco4788 4 года назад

Like that tourquois color alot. Rare color indeed for knives.

@0zmosis2001 2 года назад

I know I'm a year late but I just picked up a Spyderco para 3 lightweight with M4 Steel and mint green handle scales

@MrMadhouse70 3 года назад

I have order that one today but in urban gray and an combo edge. What an nice knife, perfect design.

@0zmosis2001 2 года назад

The things that draw me to this knife are that it's got a high saber grind, tall blade (better for slicing) color options, upgraded steel and fairly thin blade stock! Other positives are= Not cluttered up with a bunch of crazy gimmicky crap hanging off of it the way S.O.G have done in the past! Fairly simple and clean

@AlecAndersen 3 года назад

I must’ve gotten a good one because I got this knife pretty quick after this video and have had zero problems with it rock solid lockup and fast hard deployment. Edge has held up very well with heavy use and the color is pretty dang sweet in person.

@dragonjames9477 2 года назад

Great content on your channel. Thank you for such a detailed and comprehensive review. Just bought one through your affiliate link. 👍

@mannyanaya4189 2 года назад

D2, -$100 knives is my wheelhouse! I had two ZT 0308s that I used on a daily basis. Lost both. Needless to say, I was bummed for weeks. $600 GONE! Now, I strictly look for D2 $100 knives. So this SOG is definitely one I’ll be ordering! Thanks.

@nathandrushinin1072 4 года назад

I love that blade shape! 😃. Looks like a super slicer too! 👍. I’d be all about that knife if it was de-assisted and had no safety.

@bert2530 3 года назад

Got one for a few weeks now. Same colour. Its my first SOG and my first assisted knife. Man, I am so thrilled. This thing is a beast, a tank. I bought it for outdoors use, work on our terrains and so. So not to abuse my precious Para 3 and such knives. I guess I can build a logcabin with this thing.

@edrader 4 года назад

both springs broke in my terminus XR. no more springs for me

@DB.KOOPER Год назад

I'm trying to figure out how to remove the assisted opening spring from mine but otherwise I LOVE this knife. Its great for EDC and its a great whittling/carving knife too. Just wish it was a manual action. The blade shape is phenomenal.

@xGetchaPullx 3 года назад

If this guy received his knife in proper working order (the assisted opening mechanic worked with the appropriate thumb pressure) that’s great. However, I have seen (many) other reviews saying the pressure required to deploy the blade was larger than normally achievable. This was the case with the knife I received. So before you order, know that it might require immediate modification. What I did was use a drill with a bur bit to grind down the notch on the inside and at the base of the blade until the actuation was light enough and to my own standard (my thought was that most of the force required was to overcome the initial rise over the little rod that notch sits on when stowed). This modification made the knife an absolutely badass tool. I’m a big fan of packing tech into simple things. Drop testing resulted in no accidental deployment, and I lock it before putting it in my pocket just to be sure I don’t sever an artery because this thing is good and sharp: physically and aesthetically.

@kraken509 3 года назад

Just got mine and can confirm the force requires to deploy is too high. My thumb is now torn up. Probably will return for this reason.

@brianf9619 4 года назад

I like what Sog is doing , I just wish these knives weren't assisted because it takes away from the XR (Axis) lock. Benchmade really saved their ass because their pocket knives were in the toilet for a while . I have the Terminus XR and the Seal XR , both are manual opening and they are great knives , especially the Seal XR , it's truly a hard use Heavy Weight . Hopefully the prices will drop after a little time ....👍🔪👊

@dante_f4563 4 года назад

You should review the kershaw Emerson in D2. Its a pretty good comparison.

@ryansmock2717 3 года назад

I got one today, and to be completely honest, I might take it apart to take out the spring-assisted portion. I would love this to be a manual folder with an axis-like lock and safety. Edit: I took out the spring in the pivot and after about 2 hours of disassembly and reassembly, I can actually open and close this knife 1 handed. You can choose to take out the safety too, but I wanted to keep it in.

@stragi 3 года назад

What did you actually need to remove? Mine is impossible to open one handed like he's flipping it open in the video. The friction on the action is crazy.

@ryansmock2717 3 года назад

@@stragi Unfortunately I basically took the knife completely apart and had to reconstruct it. I would not recommend doing it but taking out the pivot spring made the knife way better.

@kraken509 3 года назад

Ya tempted to take the spring out too. Mine takes too much pressure to snap open and is tearing up my thumb.

@DL101ca Год назад

Same here. Got one impossible to open one handed. I was able to do it maybe twice and I have strong hands. Even pinching it is too hard to pull the blade out.

@dualsportedc 4 года назад

I had the Trident AT for a bit and it had the typical SOG blade play and the line cutter was worthless for anything thicker than 36 bank line which is a shame because it was a sweet blade shape and it was a great slicer but the useless line cutter combined with the blade play was enough to make me sell it. Still planning to get my hands on the Flash AT and Aegis AT though

@gideonstactical 4 года назад

That is odd I had very solid lock up and continue to on my trident, And the cord cutter did a great job on 550 para cord.

@dualsportedc 4 года назад

gideonstactical maybe it’s hit or miss on the lockup. Mine didn’t like the Titan cord I cut with it. I had to rotate the cord and pull really hard on it. Still a good blade though. Didn’t develop any extra blade play when I made a frog spear with it. By the way, will you be testing the SRK Compact?

@saiyanwarrior828 Месяц назад

I’ve had my sog aegis for about 11 years now and it’s been through hell and back and the only thing wrong with it is the screw for the clip broke so the clip wiggles but still on, but that’s it, it’s still functioning like it did the day I got it

The old lock or the new AT lock

@joshsiress4515 Год назад

The old lock. I emailed them about it. They said to clean the lock because it probably had lent in it. I cleaned it, didn't help. I hope the AT lock holds up better.

@charlie8brown 4 года назад

Well this is semi-comforting. Seeing all of their updates on knives worries me. Especially the trident. My favorite edc is the trident, and I feel like they ruined it with the new AT update. A deep carry clip, but with a protruding glass breaker has never made sense to me.

If your worried about accidental opening the Flash AT has that lame safety on the spine to keep it closed. I also have the Blur S30V and have carried it hundreds of hours, dropped it many times including on concrete from about 10 feet high and it never opened accidentally. I have at least 6 assisted knives and none of them have ever opened accidentally, including some cheap CRKT knives.
