SOG Flash Knives • S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) is the brainchild of world famous designer Spencer Frazer: "I had this feeling that I could devise a whole new technology to help open a knife blade quickly." SOG S.A.T. allows right-handers to use their left hand equally well to open a folding knife (of course this works the same for lefties). It is also advantageous as well in case someone has an injured hand or is not adept at opening a knife easily. Gary Drake, a top defensive tactics instructor who works with SWAT teams and other special ops, states that unlike a switchblade knife, S.A.T. allows for a positive knowledge of where the knife blade is. Switchblades can sometimes get hung up in loose clothing or not open fully for a variety of reasons. This is a problem for law enforcement personnel. With SOG's S.A.T., since your finger is on the knife blade, you know if there has been a mishap and can immediately correct it. There is also the "wow" factor. We find that people who get used to the SOG S.A.T. get accustomed to its practicality and will choose it over other companies' conventional mechanisms.
All of this SOG magic is accomplished with a simple principle. There is a constant force to open a blade and a variable force that wants to close the blade. As one opens the blade, the force to propel the knife open becomes greater than the closing force and the blade will open on its own. "The beauty of this is that we have come up with several mechanisms to accomplish this," says Spencer. The SOG Flash uses a piston lock, the Blink uses a lockback, and the Twitch uses a lockback with a pass-through lockbar. These are just a few of the mechanisms that we are working on that are covered under the multiple patents. Most of the opening springs we are using are high-tension coil springs. These springs work through the entire range of opening (180 degrees). This insures reliability.
Of particular interest is that the SOG S.A.T. has allowed us to transform the standard lockback knife, which is one of the oldest known knife locks on the planet, and take it into the 21st century. "The simplest designs are sometimes the hardest to figure out," according to Spencer, "but this is a great one." SOG S.A.T. allows us to use locking mechanisms that are stronger and more reliable than the conventional liner locks and that are easier and safer to use. This is definitely one of the plusses of S.A.T., since a knife is only as good as its lock. Also our locks are much easier to access ambidextrously (we haven't forgotten about you lefties!).
Spencer had the foresight to develop integrated blade locking safeties in conjunction with S.A.T. The SOG Flash Series has a safety engineered into the handle. This prevents the blade from being able to be opened and can be used for extended carry applications. When you see red on the switch, you are ready to go. Awesome!
The SOG Flash series also incorporate a new patented bayonet clip that allows for virtually invisible carry, placing the knife deep in the pocket. This helps minimize any chance of the knife falling out and being lost. This clip is easily interchangeable from side to side (have we mentioned that we haven't forgotten about you lefties?).
SOG is known for producing high quality knife and tool products. The SOG S.A.T. family of products is produced in the U.S. to extremely high standards and tolerances and is warranted for life.
SOG Titanium Nitride (TiNi) Finish
Titanium Nitride coatings are some of the toughest coatings that can be applied to steel. They exhibit extreme hardness, are exceptionally scratch and peel resistant and help increase longevity. This coating is applied using a unique process of plasma deposition that occurs in a complete vacuum. We like it so much we don't just coat the blade, we TiNi coat our pocket clips and hardware. You can't find this attention to detail anywhere else.
SOG Rainbow TiNi finish
Once you see these incredible knives you'll never forget it. The resulting TiNi color is created by varying an electrical current curing the coating process, resulting in color shifts from vibrant yellow to royal purple. Containing more than 15 individually coated parts these knives are true works of art.
