Hogue A01-Microswitch Automatic Wharncliffe Dark Earth

The Hogue A01-Microswitch Automatic Wharncliffe Dark Earth is a testament to Hogue's unwavering dedication to precision and durability. Featuring a 2.75" CPM-154 stainless steel Wharncliffe blade, this knife is built to perform under pressure. The CPM-154 steel provides outstanding edge retention and resistance to wear and corrosion, making it perfect for demanding tasks. The black PVD finish adds a tactical edge to the blade’s appearance while providing an extra layer of protection against scratches and the elements. This Wharncliffe profile is known for delivering clean, precise cuts and excels at fine detail work and controlled slicing.

Designed as an out-the-side automatic, the A01-Microswitch deploys with the press of a push-button, ensuring rapid blade action when speed is critical. A built-in safety lock prevents accidental deployment, so you can carry it with confidence, whether it’s clipped to your pocket or stored in your bag. The knife’s mechanisms are engineered for reliability, making it a trusted tool for professionals, first responders, and everyday carry enthusiasts alike. Allen Elishewitz’s influence is evident in the knife’s ergonomic design, providing a comfortable grip that enhances control and precision.

The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in a rugged dark earth finish that emphasizes strength without adding unnecessary weight. This aircraft-grade aluminum offers excellent durability and a corrosion-resistant surface, making the knife well-suited for both harsh environments and everyday tasks. The handle’s textured surface ensures a secure grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip makes it easy to carry, whether you’re right- or left-handed, and the impact pommel adds versatility, allowing for use in emergency situations or as a glass breaker when needed.

At just 3.85" closed and weighing only 2.9 ounces, the A01-Microswitch is lightweight and compact, perfect for those who demand performance in a pocket-sized package. Every detail of this knife, from the precise machining to the effortless automatic deployment, reflects Hogue’s commitment to quality and performance. Proudly made in the USA, this knife upholds the high standards set by Hogue for American craftsmanship. Order it today from SMKW!
