The Hogue Bagby Slate Blue Wharncliffe Folding Knife delivers a modern take on traditional slip-joint craftsmanship, blending clean lines, practical functionality, and rugged American-made quality. Designed by Scott Bruhns of Bruhns Design, this lightweight everyday carry folder reimagines the classic pocketknife with contemporary styling and thoughtful engineering. It's a refreshing combination of old-school simplicity and modern performance.
The 2.8” Wharncliffe blade is crafted from 440C stainless steel and features a rugged stone-tumbled finish with a hand-sharpened, honed cutting edge. Its straight cutting edge and distinctive blade profile provide excellent control and precision for everyday cutting tasks. The traditional slip-joint mechanism uses a single-piece stainless steel frame to create the tension needed to hold the blade open, eliminating the need for additional internal springs. It's a straightforward, dependable design that keeps the knife slim and uncomplicated.
The ergonomic handle features striking slate blue Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) scales, delivering lightweight durability with a comfortable, contoured grip. A stainless steel frame provides structural strength, while the integrated lanyard hole offers a convenient attachment point. The clean handle design intentionally omits a pocket clip, preserving its classic pocketknife character.
Measuring 3.6” closed and 6.4” overall, this remarkably lightweight folder weighs just 1.5 ounces. Proudly made in the USA, the Bagby demonstrates Hogue's commitment to precision manufacturing, practical innovation, and accessible American craftsmanship.
