Hogue Knives' engineers are dedicated to crafting purpose-driven solutions that address the specific challenges faced by their customers. With a focus on the varied needs of hunters, Jim and Scott Bruhns developed the Extrak, an ultra-lightweight fixed blade knife designed to excel in tasks requiring long, deep cuts during field dressing. Constructed from CPM-M4 high vanadium tool steel, the Extrak minimizes the need for frequent sharpening, allowing more time for precise cutting. Weighing just 1.9 oz, it features removable G10 scales with Peel Ply texture, enhancing grip while offering the option to further reduce overall pack weight. Both the Extrak and its companion, the Expel, come equipped with nylon blade guards for added protection during storage. Trusted and proven by professional hunters, outfitters and taxidermists, the Extrak has undergone rigorous testing to ensure reliability in demanding conditions. Every Hogue knife is proudly made in the USA, backed by three generations of manufacturing expertise, reinforcing their commitment to quality and innovation in knife craftsmanship.
