The Hogue X1-Microflip is the latest marvel from Hogue Knives, a name synonymous with precision and quality. Designed by renowned craftsman Allen Elishewitz, this knife is compact yet remarkably robust, embodying the perfect blend of form and function.
At its core lies a 2.75-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM154 stainless steel. This material choice ensures durability while maintaining an edge that stands up to rigorous use. The blade undergoes cryogenic treatment for enhanced toughness and features a stone-tumbled finish that speaks to both aesthetics and practicality.
The overall length of the X1-Microflip extends to 6.67 inches when open, providing ample real estate for various cutting tasks without sacrificing portability — it folds down neatly to just 3.92 inches in closed length. Weighing in at only 3.2 ounces, it's designed for those who demand efficiency without being weighed down.
A hallmark of innovation is found in its push-button locking mechanism, delivering secure operation with ease of deployment via the integrated flipper tab — a true testament to modern engineering excellence.
The handle frame consists of durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, offering lightweight strength that's ready for any challenge you might encounter on your journey or daily routine. Coupled with an ambidextrous tip-up carry pocket clip made from stainless steel, this knife promises versatility whether you're left or right-handed.
