In the realm of essential gear, a knife stands as an indispensable tool. Crafted with precision and care in the United States, Hogue Knives represent a fusion of time-honored craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Designed by the esteemed custom knife maker Allen Elishewitz, each piece is an embodiment of quality and functionality.
This particular model boasts a blade length of 3.25 inches, crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—a material celebrated for its superior hardness rating between 60-62 HRC. The blade's clip point design features ambidextrous thumb studs, ensuring ease of deployment for users regardless of their dominant hand. Further enhancing its resilience is a cryogenic heat treatment paired with a stone-tumbled finish that speaks to both durability and aesthetic appeal.
The overall dimensions present an ideal balance: closed at 4.25 inches and extending to a full length of 7.5 inches when deployed, all while maintaining a lightweight profile at just 2.1 ounces—offering portability without compromising strength.
Functionality extends beyond the blade itself; this knife incorporates an ABLE Lock mechanism that allows smooth operation whether you're right or left-handed. Its blue polyamide nylon frame—with glass fiber reinforcement—features crosshatch texturing for enhanced grip security under various conditions.
A deep carry pocket clip made from stainless steel accommodates discreet tip-up carry on either side thanks to its ambidextrous design, complemented by the inclusion of a lanyard hole for additional carrying options.
In essence, what you hold is not merely a knife but rather an unwavering ally engineered for real-world challenges—a testament to American ingenuity embodied through Hogue’s meticulous manufacturing standards.
