A.G. Russell Knives

SOG Rainbow Assisted Opener

The SOG® Flash I and Flash II, two of the most popular "Assisted Opening" knives on the market, use the thumb stud to open the blade the first 20% of the way and then it JUMPS the rest of the way. S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one hand opening action. Over the past year the Flash I, Flash II and the Blink have been available in more common colors, black and gray and thousands have sold. At the Blade Show in June, SOG introduced the three knives with RAINBOW Titanium Nitride coated 6061 T6 aircraft alloy handles. The rainbow colors also cover the blades, thumbstuds and liners. This rainbow coating has been available for several months from other companies, but SOG's look is different. Usually the surface being coated is mirror polished before the coating is added, resulting in reflective surface. The Flash I has a satin, non-reflective finish. Color's may vary.

The Flash measures 3-1/4" closed with a 2-1/2" blade of AUS-8 at 56-58 Rc. Suggested retail is $119.95.
