Add color and cutting confidence to your everyday carry with the SOG Flash AT (Civic Cyan). Purpose-built for speed and control, the Flash AT pairs a 3.45-inch clip-point blade made from Cryo D2 tool steel with a slick, durable TiNi (Titanium Nitride) finish for low glare and excellent wear resistance. SOG’s AT-XR Lock combines assisted opening for fast, one-hand deployment with high-strength lockup you can trust. The lightweight Civic Cyan GRN (glass-reinforced nylon) handle delivers all-weather grip and a modern look, while the deep-carry pocket clip keeps things discreet until it’s time to cut.

For a do-it-all folder that moves quickly from boxes and cordage to field chores—with a pop of color that stands out—the Flash AT (SOG11180341) is ready every day.

Why the Flash AT (Civic Cyan) Stands Out

• Cryo D2 Edge Performance
  The D2 tool steel blade is cryogenically treated for enhanced edge stability and wear resistance, so you sharpen less and cut more.

• Tough, Low-Glare TiNi Coating
  Titanium Nitride helps the blade resist abrasion and corrosion while sliding through material with reduced drag.

• AT-XR Lock + Assisted Opening
  SOG’s AT-XR mechanism gives ambidextrous, high-strength lockup and spring-assisted deployment for quick, confident one-hand operation—even with gloves.

• Plain-Edge Precision
  A clean, straight edge excels at controlled slicing and easy maintenance, perfect for daily packaging duty and fine work.

• Lightweight GRN Ergonomics
  The Civic Cyan handle offers secure, textured traction without pocket-dragging weight; it’s easy to spot in a tool bag or pack.

• Deep-Carry Discretion
  The low-riding clip buries the knife in your pocket for low print and instant access.

Always follow local laws regarding knife carry and blade length.

Performance You’ll Notice

Fast, One-Hand Deployment

The assisted action snaps the blade into lock with authority—ideal for gloved, cold, or wet conditions.

Long-Running Edge

Cryo D2 keeps a working edge through cardboard, banding, nylon webbing, and plastic—great for high-volume cutting days.

Smooth, Controlled Cuts

The plain edge and clip-point geometry deliver precise tip control for scoring and piercing, plus clean slices with minimal effort.

Secure, Ambidextrous Handling

The AT-XR provides rock-solid lockup and easy, controlled closing—left- or right-handed.

Ideal Use Cases

• EDC & Office: Box breakdowns, mailers, tape, zip ties.

• Shop & Warehouse: Pallet wrap, plastic strapping, nylon webbing.

• Outdoor & Overlanding: Cordage duty, camp prep, gear repairs (clean and dry after use).

• First-Responder/Utility: Assisted speed for quick deployment when every second counts.

How to Get the Most from Your Flash AT

• Build Muscle Memory: Practice safe opens/closings (including with gloves) to master the assisted action and AT-XR release.

• Edge Care: Touch up with ceramic/diamond stones; strop lightly to keep the plain edge laser-keen.

• Hardware Check: Periodically snug pocket-clip and body screws after heavy use.

• Minimal Lube: A small drop at the pivot/lock interface keeps action smooth without attracting debris.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean & Dry: Wipe the blade after cutting adhesives or in wet environments.

• Protect D2: D2 is semi-stainless—apply a thin coat of oil after moisture exposure, especially around the pivot.

• Finish Friendly: Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the TiNi coating.
