SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hogue A01-Microswitch Automatic Drop Point Black FDE is a compact powerhouse that embodies precision, reliability, and tactical efficiency. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this knife is built for those who need a robust yet streamlined everyday carry tool. The heart of this automatic lies in its 2.75" CPM-154 stainless steel blade, designed for durability and exceptional edge retention. The drop point profile makes it an all-around workhorse, ideal for tasks ranging from slicing and piercing to intricate detail work. Coated with a sleek black Cerakote finish, the blade gains extra protection against corrosion and wear, ensuring it’s up for any challenge while maintaining a low-profile look.
The automatic push-button mechanism offers rapid, one-handed blade deployment, an essential feature when seconds matter. Complementing this swift action is a slide safety lock that guarantees the blade stays securely closed during carry and locked in place when deployed. This dual safety feature is an added benefit for those who prioritize both convenience and reliability. Whether you’re out in the field or working in an everyday setting, you can trust the secure operation of this knife without hesitation.
The handle is crafted from Flat Dark Earth (FDE) anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, known for its lightweight strength and resilience. The textured finish provides a non-slip grip, even in wet or demanding conditions, and the ergonomic design ensures comfort during prolonged use. At just 3.85" closed and a total weight of 2.9 ounces, the A01-Microswitch is built for portability and ease of use. It won’t weigh you down, fitting comfortably in your pocket or clipped onto your gear. Speaking of which, the ambidextrous stainless steel tip-up pocket clip provides versatile carry options, accommodating both right- and left-handed users.
The overall build quality and thoughtful design elements reflect Hogue’s dedication to delivering top-tier knives made in the USA. Designed by Allen Elishewitz, this knife brings together high-performance materials, a flawless automatic action, and a tactical aesthetic that doesn’t compromise on functionality. From the black Cerakote blade to the Flat Dark Earth aluminum handles, every element is optimized for performance and durability, making this knife as practical as it is stylish.
