In the realm of edged tools, few companions are as steadfast and versatile as a Hogue knife. Crafted with precision in the USA by skilled American artisans, this knife stands as a testament to both tradition and modern innovation. The collaboration between renowned custom knife maker Allen Elishewitz and Hogue's advanced manufacturing prowess results in an instrument that marries old-world craftsmanship with real-world functionality.
The blade measures 3.25 inches, expertly fashioned into a clip point style for optimal cutting performance. Made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, it boasts impressive durability and edge retention thanks to its cryogenic heat treatment process, achieving a hardness of 60-62 HRC. Finished with black Cerakote for enhanced corrosion resistance, the hand-honed flat grind edge ensures every cut is clean and precise.
When closed, the knife maintains a compact profile at 4.25 inches while extending to an overall length of 7.5 inches when deployed—making it both practical for pocket carry yet substantial enough for demanding tasks. Weighing merely 2.1 ounces, its lightweight nature belies its robust capability.
The ambidextrous ABLE Lock system secures the blade firmly whether you're left or right-handed—a nod to inclusive design without compromise on security or ease of use. Encased within a frame made from Flat Dark Earth Polyamide Nylon 12 (a glass fiber reinforced polymer), it features crosshatch texturing that provides exceptional grip under various conditions.
A deep-carry pocket clip crafted from stainless steel allows discreet tip-up carry on either side of your personage; adaptability is further augmented by an integrated lanyard hole for additional carrying options.
This Hogue Knife embodies reliability through meticulous engineering—an indispensable tool ready to meet any challenge you may encounter in your daily pursuits or adventurous endeavors.
