Hogue Compound OTF Tanto Blackout

The Hogue Compound OTF Tanto Blackout is a high-caliber tool designed for users who demand reliability and craftsmanship from every element of their gear. Proudly made in the USA, this out-the-front automatic knife showcases Hogue’s commitment to precision engineering and robust design. With a 3.5” CPM-S30V stainless steel tanto blade, this knife excels in strength and sharpness, providing a formidable cutting edge capable of withstanding intensive use. The black PVD finish on the blade not only enhances durability but also offers a sleek, low-glare appearance, ideal for tactical environments where reflection can be a hindrance.

Operating the Compound OTF Tanto Blackout is as straightforward as it is satisfying. The dual-action thumb slide allows for quick, one-handed blade deployment and retraction. This smooth mechanism is built to respond efficiently under pressure, making it the perfect tool for situations where speed is key. For added safety, the blade locks securely in both open and closed positions, ensuring confidence in carry and operation.

The handle of this OTF automatic is built with a black G-10 overlay, paired with a rugged 6061-T6 aluminum chassis, providing a combination of stability, strength, and grip. The G-10 material, known for its resilience and textured surface, gives a solid grip even in challenging weather conditions. Beneath the G-10, the 6061-T6 aluminum chassis adds a layer of structural integrity while keeping the knife lightweight at only 3.6 ounces. This balance of materials creates a handle that is not only comfortable in hand but also capable of enduring the wear and tear of rigorous use.

At 4.9 inches closed, this knife fits comfortably into any pocket, and the 8.4-inch open length delivers a powerful presence for a wide range of cutting tasks. The addition of a tip-down pocket clip offers easy accessibility and secure carry, making it suitable for both right and left-handed users. Every detail of this knife is crafted with care, ensuring it can serve reliably in both everyday and high-stakes environments. Order it today from SMKW!
