Model: SOG11180241 • UPC: 729857010931
Fast, secure, and built for hard daily use—the SOG Flash AT delivers modern assisted speed with the confidence of SOG’s AT-XR locking system. Its 3.45-inch clip-point blade is made from Cryo D2 tool steel for long-wearing sharpness, finished in a stealthy Black TiNi (Titanium Nitride) coating to boost abrasion and corrosion resistance. The part-serrated edge chews through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials while the plain section handles clean slicing—making this a do-everything folder for work, range, and weekend carry. A grippy, blackout GRN (glass-reinforced nylon) handle keeps the weight down and control high, and a deep-carry pocket clip keeps the Flash AT out of sight until you need it.
If you want deployment that’s quick under gloves, lock-up you can trust, and an edge that tackles both fine cuts and tough fibers, the Flash AT (SOG11180241) is your EDC upgrade.
Why the Flash AT Stands Out
Cryo D2 Edge Performance
The D2 tool steel blade is cryogenically treated to refine the microstructure for better edge stability and wear resistance, so you sharpen less and work more.
Black TiNi Protective Finish
Titanium Nitride adds a tough, low-glare coating that helps the blade glide through material and shrug off scratches and corrosion.
AT-XR Lock + Assisted Opening
SOG’s AT-XR provides a high-strength, ambidextrous lock with a strong detent and an assisted-open mechanism for fast, one-hand deployment—left- or right-handed.
Part Serrated Utility
Aggressive serrations rip through nylon straps, webbing, and rope; the plain section gives you precise, clean cuts on boxes, plastic, and packaging.
All-Weather Grip
The Blackout GRN handle offers textured traction that stays secure in rain, sweat, or cold, without adding pocket bulk.
Deep-Carry, Low-Print Clip
A discreet deep-carry pocket clip buries the knife in your pocket for low-profile EDC and instant access when it’s time to cut.
Always follow local laws regarding knife carry and blade length.

Performance You’ll Notice
Faster, One-Hand Deployment
The assisted action snaps the blade into lock swiftly with a confident feel—ideal for gloved or cold-weather use.
Long-Running, Low-Glare Cutting
Cryo D2 holds an edge through cardboard, banding, and plastic; Black TiNi keeps reflections down and resists wear.
Versatile Cutting Combo
The serrated rear segment shreds fibrous material; the plain front section excels at precision slicing and detail cuts.
Secure, Ambidextrous Control
The AT-XR Lock gives rock-solid lockup and easy, controlled closing whether you’re left- or right-handed.
Ideal Use Cases
EDC & Office: Break down boxes, open mailers, trim zip ties and tape.
Shop & Warehouse: Nylon straps, pallet wrap, plastic banding—quick, controlled cuts.
Outdoor & Overlanding: Cordage duty, camp prep, gear repairs (clean and dry after use).
First-Responder/Utility: Assisted speed plus serrations for rope and webbing when time matters.
How to Get the Most from Your Flash AT
Practice Deployment: Dry-practice opens and safe closings to build muscle memory, including with gloves.
Edge Management: Use a ceramic or diamond rod on serrations (in the gullets) and stones on the plain edge.
Hardware Check: Periodically snug pocket-clip and handle screws after heavy use.
Light Lube: A small drop at the pivot and lock interface keeps action smooth (avoid over-lubing to limit debris).
Care & Maintenance
Clean & Dry: Wipe down the blade after cutting adhesives or in wet environments.
Protect D2: Though wear-resistant, D2 is semi-stainless—a light coat of oil after exposure to moisture helps prevent corrosion.
Finish Friendly: Avoid harsh abrasives to preserve the Black TiNi coating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Flash AT fully ambidextrous?
A: Yes—the AT-XR Lock and overall design support left- or right-hand use, with one-hand open/close.
Q: What’s the advantage of a combo edge?
A: Serrations power through rope and webbing, while the plain edge gives cleaner, more precise slices—best of both worlds.
Q: How tough is the lock?
A: The AT-XR is engineered for high lock strength and confident, repeatable engagement under load.
Q: Good for food prep?
A: It can handle light tasks. Clean and dry promptly, especially after acidic foods, to protect the D2 edge and the pivot.
