Hogue Knives..how did I not know about this?

[vmax]

I was today years old when I found out that Hogue makes knives and cutting tools..
Dang. I got to get out more

I lost my ZT folder.. it took me a month to realize it was lost at the ranch more than likely.. maybe it will still turn up one day...
but I decided to replace it and I have like doing business with DLT Trading and thats where I found the Hogue line.

I just got one of these, can't wait to get it in.. Merry Christmas to me..

That looks awesome. Let us know how it works out for you. I only recently found out that they make knives too and was just as surprised. How do you feel about the 154cm? Should be good steel but I have no experience with it

Ended up getting this for myself for Christmas

Amazon product ASIN B0080IYV3Q

Earlier this year I picked up one of their automatic folder models.
It’s pretty solid. It is chunky.
I like them.

I've been carrying a Hogue like this one for about a year or so........Sig Sauer didn't renew with Benchmade and went to Hogue for their branded knives.......I mistreat it terribly opening boxes and things you shouldn't do with a nice knife.....other than sharpening, it has taken the abuse well....

154CM is one of the Crucible steels and just a very good knife blade material.
It's great for corrosion resistance and it holds its edge good ..can be a tad hard to raise an edge ..
It's a variation of the old 440C that Buck used..
That stuff was harder than your mother in laws heart

You will love the ZT knife...Im sad I lost mine..

Hogue makes real solid knives. 154cm is a perfectly serviceable blade. It may not be the current rage for steel nerds but it sharpens well and has decent retention.

Picked one of these a few months back, and so far I am very pleased with it. As noted above, it is a bit chunky. But at the same time, the larger size feels comfortable in my grip. Rides easy in my pocket with the clip and takes up just a tad more room than my Kershaw Link, but less than my ZT 0350. We'll see how I feel about it in a few years.

I bought a used Wilson Combat Ultralight Carry Compact a couple years ago, and it came with a Hogue knife with scales to match the grips on the pistol.

I haven’t really messed with it much, but it seems like a good quality knife.

Picked the Hogue Sig Sauer K320 in CPM 30V last week. I can say this is one well built knife.

Yes, that is what they call it. So far it works well.

Did you sharpen it at all yet? Looks awesome

All that I have done so far is carry it and use it. It was sharp out of the box. It's lite and feels good in the hand. It also punctures def jugs like it was made to hate them . So far a week in, no wear on the blade. Also just as sharp as it came from the factory.

I lost a Benchmade some 20 years ago when I used it to break up clumps at the rear of a fertilizer trailer and left it on the end of the trailer. So…….I hope you have better luck finding your knife than I have had.

here are the specs on it...

'Cryogenic heat treat'?
... Isn't that kinda like a wet desert? A glass hammer? A smart liberal? Or a silent woman?

I get what you are saying but in reality, any temperature F or C or Kelvin, doesn't measure cold..

Cold is the result of the absence of heat. So we don't actually measure temperature in terms of how cold, rather how much heat there is or isn't for that matter.

It is actually a good use and combination of terms to use in order to describe that process

I have one tanto knife, its a Browning folder.. 25 years old.
I just hate sharpening them..lol

I used to carry expensive knives (over $80 back in the 80’s and early 90’s) and seemed to lose them about 1 every 3-4 months. Just stupid stuff like laying it down, loaning it out, etc. As a young NCO, it got expensive!

I somehow solved the problem of losing knives by buying cheaper ones...USA made Kershaw, Buck, etc. sub $50 knives. Rarely loose these for some reason...LOL! Still have a Buck 112 I bought used for $10 in the 90’s.

Honestly zero difference in performance and I no longer sweat using them for whatever...

Kinda like swapping out your Citizen watch for a Timex or Casio...still tells time the same way.

Not sweating the cool factor.
