To commemorate ten years of precision knife manufacturing, Hogue Knives is proud to introduce the long-awaited Deka model to their rapidly expanding line of knives. Arguably the best manual folder in Hogue's arsenal, the Deka pays tribute to a decade of engineering innovation and success. With a remarkably thin profile, natural ergonomics, featherlight weight and butter smooth action, Hogue has delivered the everyday carry that one can only hold to truly appreciate the strategic design. The Deka sports a .094 inch CPM 20CV stainless steel blade that is designed to offer the best combination of toughness, wear and corrosion resistance. The 3.25 inch Wharncliffe or Clip Point blades are stone washed or finished with black Cerakote, and hand sharpened and honed to a keen edge. The blade is controlled by the ABLE locking mechanism which features smooth operation, a tough lock bar and Wolff wireform springs. The Deka's lightweight, G10 exterior is extremey durable with excellent thermal properties. The frame is finished with a low profile, tip-up ambidextrous pocket clip.
