In the realm of tactical tools and precision instruments, Hogue Knives stands as a testament to American craftsmanship. For over half a century, Hogue has been synonymous with quality in firearm accessories, now extending that legacy into their tenth year within the knife industry. This transition is marked by an array of models including manuals, automatics, fixed blades, and even tomahawks.
At the forefront of this lineup is a knife crafted for those who demand reliability and functionality without compromise. The core feature lies in its ambidextrous ABLE Lock mechanism—a system designed for intuitive operation whether you're left or right-handed. Its solid black G10 scales are meticulously crosshatched to ensure a firm grip under any condition.
With practicality in mind, this piece includes a stainless steel pocket clip adaptable for tip-up carry on either side—an essential detail for discreet yet ready access. A lanyard hole further enhances its versatility.
The blade itself measures 3.25 inches and extends from an overall closed length of 4.25 inches to a total length of 7.5 inches when deployed—striking an ideal balance between portability and utility at only 2.3 ounces in weight.
Made from CPM 20CV stainless steel known for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance, it boasts a hardness rating between 59-61 HRC thanks to cryogenic heat treatment processes that maximize durability while maintaining sharpness through rigorous use.
Finished with Black Cerakote®, both aesthetic appeal and additional surface protection are assured alongside its flat grind hand-honed edge which ensures optimal cutting performance every time it's called upon.
