I just love the urban camo finish on the blades of the Flash knives, but why oh why the partially serrated? I wish SOG would just make the plain edged knives and forget the serrations. I would buy one in a Flash!

It's too bad that more thought wasn't put into the blade edge. I hate to see a potentially good knife be ruined by poor design.

No problem here, SirGalant. I just really like the urban camo scheme and think it would be awesome on a small folding knife. The Flash is so so close to being what I want but not quite there.

The discussions concerning the serrations comes up on every SOG knife design at some point that has them. Some like the serrations and others prefer a more traditional plain edge (like me). Same goes with the blade finish. It is all about manufacturing a sound product that the public wants to buy (ie. selling knives).
The Sealpup Elite design comes to mind. It is offered with the partial (1/2) serrated edge, a plain edge, and with the black Titanium coating, tiger stripe, and plain satin steel look without serrations. I bought the plain edge satin. I like this knife. You all should take a look at this one if you have not already. It comes with the kydex sheath that on the surface I don't like. But with use, it is a well designed sheath. The nylon sheath is also available for it.
This knife is big enough for most any chore and small enough for regular carry. The more I handle this knife, the more I like it!! The handle looks cheap, but it works well for this knife. It would also make a very good "survival knife".
I generally don't like the serrated edges. But I just ordered a SOG folder with the totally serrated edge as I have a very specific use planned for that knife which I hope it will fill the bill perfectly.

thank you 22 rimfire, for explaining that. i personally prefer serrated edges , and i hate sog`s kydex sheaths , but i don`t hate all kydex . i just bought a spyderco bill moran fb01 and it has a kydex sheath and that works beautifully. however this isn`t the spyderco forum. i have 13 sogs nand am working on getting more by the way. there are certain times and certain cutting chores when you need the different types of edges
