Tools and Hardware Reviews of SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TFSA-97 Flash I with Combination Serrated and Fine Blade, Black TiNi
Customer Review: Great Everyday Knife, Quality to Boot
Summary: 5 Stars
Reviewing the SOG Flash I, TiNi Back.
Got this knife in about a week ago and put it through the test.
First off, pay attention to the knife size you are looking for. Some have mentioned they wished this knife was a little bigger and I too would love for SOG to come up with an intermittent sized knife between the Flash I and Flash II but I knew what I was buying and what size it would be and find the Flash I to be an excellent day-to-day carry knife.
I spend most of my days in an office and found the SOG Trident I had purchased to be too big for slacks in the office environment. It's bulky in the pocket when you set in a chair most all the time. The Trident is an excellent knife and would be great for most that work outside or would be carrying it when they are outside and the Flash II's size is pretty close to the Trident.
This knife is perfect for me as an everyday carry knife. Works great for about everything I need in a knife for everyday use. I like the black TiNi finish. I've just never liked anything flashy out in the woods and the TiNi finish accomplishes this.
The blade came sharp. I used it for cutting a few boxes, cut a sheet of paper a few time and whittled on a couple sticks and the blade still shaves just like it did when I first got it. Seems like it's going to do a good job staying sharp.
Put a little pressure on the blade stud and it whips open fast. Unlike a couple others who posted reviews, I found it very easy to operate the entire knife, including unlocking, opening and closing the knife one-handed. I don't have long fingers so I'm not sure if that's a help or hindrance in one-hand operations ... but again, it worked great for me one-handed.
I saw another review on here before I purchased mentioning the noise the closing mechanism makes when the knife is closed. I have to say I would prefer it didn't do this either. With the knife closed the mechanism can slide freely back and forth on the short track causing a little rattling sound if you shake it. I haven't noticed any sound walking with it in my pants so it isn't bad and I wouldn't be disgruntled with it enough to mark this knife down any on its review.
Lastly, I've got the SOG Trident, Seal Pup Elite, Tsunami and now the Flash I. They have all been excellent knives and I had to deal with SOG support one time on an issue I caused. Their support sold me on their products. They were helpful and very quick acting. My problem was solved and in my mailbox two days later and I live on the opposite end of the country near about from them.

Description of SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TFSA-97 Flash I with Combination Serrated and Fine Blade, Black TiNi
SOG Flash I Folding Knife with Half Serrated Blade. Perhaps one of the coolest knives you've ever seen. Forget its wicked-quick blade access, that it handles like a race car on rails, or that it locks up like Alcatraz. It just looks and feels extraordinary. The Flash family of knives feature SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.), which employs a powerful piston lock that is easily released with a sliding button. The Flash I comes with glass-reinforced Zytel handle and black TiNi coated 1/2 serrated blade. All Flash knives come standard with SOG's patent pending, reversible bayonet mounted clip that ensures the lowest, most discreet carry possible. They also had the foresight to incorporate an additional safety lock that gives added security when the blade is closed. More on S.A.T.: SOG Assisted Technology works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. 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 end result propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. S.A.T. works so well that right-handers can use their left hand equally well to open a folding knife (of course this works oppositely for lefties). Blade length: 2.5" x .09"; Overall length: 5.75"; Weight: 1.3 oz.; Edge: Partially serrated; Steel: AUS 8; HRC: 57-58; Handle: Zytel; Finish: Black TiNi; Assembled in the USA. Order yours today! SOG Flash I Folding Knife with Half Serrated Blade, Black TiNiSleek, attractive, and easy to operate, the TFSA-97 with combination serrated and fine blade knife with black TiNi coating from the Flash I Series showcases SOG's sophisticated style and quality construction. Featuring advanced opening and locking technology, a well-balanced body, and a strong, dependable blade, this versatile folding knife makes quick work of any task.

SOG Assisted Technology Increases Speed, Safety, and Usability
When you go to unfold the TFSA-97's blade, SOG's patented S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) takes over. High-tension coil springs propels the blade open, so you can easily access the TFSA-97's blades with just one hand.
Additionally, the unique design of S.A.T. knives offers security and peace of mind by incorporating locking mechanisms that are stronger, more reliable, and easier to access than conventional liner locks. For Flash I Series knives, this means the blade is held in place with a reliable piston lock that can be quickly released with a sliding button. An additional safety lock offers extra security when the blade is closed, and for easy reference, the lock switch shows red when the knife is ready to be opened.
Cryogenic Heat Treatment and TiNi Coating Guarantee a Sharp, Durable Blade
The TFSA-97 offers a full, 2.5-inch, AUS8 stainless steel blade that has undergone SOG's patented Cryogenic Heat Treatment process, which ensures that this blade will stay sharp over the long haul. This intensive process takes more than 48 hours and involves slowly reducing the blade's temperature to less than -300 degrees Fahrenheit, then slowly heating the blade to room temperature. The stress created by this process strengthens the steel on an atomic level and increases the blade's overall durability and edge retention.
In addition to having undergone the Cryogenic Heat Treatment Process, this knife was coated in proprietary titanium nitride (TiNi), of the toughest coatings that can be applied to steel. TiNi boasts extreme hardness, is exceptionally scratch and peel resistant, helps increase steel's longevity, and ensures low reflectivity.
Durable, Ergonomic Design Ensures Years of Effortless Use
Even if your blade is sharp, it's hard to make precise cuts if your knife doesn't fit comfortably in your hand. That's why this knife's handle is ergonomically contoured. Crafted from tough, glass-reinforced Zytel, the textured handle is also slip-free and well-balanced.
At just 1.3 ounces, this folding knife is lightweight and easy to carry. A reversible, bayonet-mounted clip extends from the back of the handle, allowing the knife to sit low in your pocket for the most discreet carry possible.
This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.
