Fixed Blade Knives Descriptions

Hogue EX-F02

Lightweight and dependable, the Hogue EX-F02 with black/gray textured G-10 handle is as comfortable in a tactical situation as it is in the backcountry. Featuring a 4.5" cryogenically tReated 154-CM clip point blade, the EX-F02 can clean a deer or prep wood for a fire. Dual lanyard holes allow for easy loCATion, additional leverage or as lashing points for an improvised spear. Included is a molded polymer ambidextrous sheath with an auto retention feature, securely keeping the blade in place even during extreme movement.

Hogue EX-F03

Using the skeletonized EX-F03 platform as the base, this Clip Point Karambit from Hogue Knives features a contoured and textured black G-10 handle with finger ring for increased grip and utility. The EX-F03 is an Allen Elishewitz design and every detail of this fixed blade has been thoroughly thought out. The wide handle profile offers additional grip that a thinner design lacks. Two blade styles are available: clip point and hawkbill. An auto retention sheath is included with this EX-F03 knife.
