Rugged, smooth-operating folders feature precision-ground blades made from durable 154CM stainless steel heat treated to Rc 58-60 to hold an edge for general cutting and field duty. Designed for Hogue by custom knifemaker Allen Elishewitz, each Extreme knife is individually hand-assembled and hand-sharpened. Available in 4" or 3½" blade lengths with traditional drop-point, or Tanto style with radical chisel profile for better thrusting penetration. Blades have ambidextrous thumb studs for fast, easy deployment. Machined aluminum handles are grooved for secure, natural purchase, with dished cutouts for easy access to the thumb stud. Hefty .250" pivot pin and oversized button lock are heat treated and polished for durability and smoothness. Manual safety locks in the open position only. Removable spring steel clip allows tip-up or tip-down carry.
