The Hogue Bagby Black Drop Point Folding Knife delivers a modern interpretation of traditional slip-joint craftsmanship, combining classic pocketknife simplicity with contemporary styling and rugged American-made quality. Designed by Scott Bruhns of Bruhns Design, this streamlined everyday carry folder offers a versatile combination of practical functionality, thoughtful engineering, and lightweight convenience.
The 2.8” Drop Point blade is crafted from 440C stainless steel and features a rugged stone-tumbled finish with a hand-sharpened, honed cutting edge. Its versatile profile provides an excellent balance of cutting control, precision, and everyday utility. The slip-joint mechanism uses a single-piece stainless steel frame to provide the tension needed to hold the blade open, eliminating the need for traditional internal springs. It's a refreshingly simple, dependable design that keeps the knife streamlined and uncomplicated.
The ergonomic handle features durable black Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) scales, delivering impressive lightweight strength and a comfortable, contoured grip. The understated black finish gives this folder a clean, professional appearance, while the stainless steel frame provides structural rigidity. An integrated lanyard hole offers a convenient attachment point, and the clip-free design preserves its classic pocketknife silhouette.
Measuring 3.6” closed and 6.4” overall, this remarkably lightweight folder weighs just 1.5 ounces. Proudly made in the USA, the Bagby showcases Hogue's ability to combine modern design, practical performance, and American manufacturing expertise in an accessible everyday carry package.
