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.

  • Glass reinforced nylon handle
  • 3.5 inch blade, 8 inch overall length
  • About 3.9 ounces

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.
