Overview

The SOG FLA1001-CP is a folding knife with a stainless steel blade and a glass reinforced nylon handle. Overall length is 8 inches with a 3.5 inch blade, and it weighs about 0.11 kilograms, roughly 3.9 ounces.

SOG's Flash line built the FLA1001-CP around assisted opening and a lightweight GRN handle, aimed at quick one-handed deployment rather than heavy chopping or bushcraft use. The stainless blade favors corrosion resistance over the edge retention of higher-alloy steels.

Who it's for

Suits everyday carry for someone who wants a light, quick-opening folder. Not built for prying, batoning or other hard-use tasks a fixed blade handles better.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out

Light overall weight for easy everyday carry
3.5 inch blade suits common cutting tasks
Stainless steel blade resists corrosion

What to check first

GRN handle less rigid than metal or G10
Not built for prying or heavy-duty outdoor tasks

Performance notes

The GRN handle keeps weight under 4 ounces, which favors easy pocket carry over the added grip mass of metal-handled folders. The 3.5 inch blade length sits within typical everyday-carry range, long enough for common cutting tasks without pushing into restricted-length territory in most areas.
