Hogue Compound OTF Tanto Dark Earth

The Hogue Compound OTF Tanto Dark Earth is a testament to American precision and design, crafted for those who require a dependable, high-performance tool. Proudly made in the USA, this out-the-front automatic knife embodies the innovative vision of designer Allen Elishewitz, fusing advanced materials with a rugged, tactical aesthetic that’s ideal for real-world use.

This model features a 3.5" CPM-S30V stainless steel tanto blade, known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. The blade is coated with a sleek black PVD finish, which not only provides a low-reflective surface that’s ideal for tactical situations but also adds an extra layer of protection against wear. The tanto point reinforces tip strength, making it especially suited for piercing and precision tasks, while the CPM-S30V steel ensures it holds its edge under intense use.

Operating the Compound OTF Tanto is seamless thanks to its dual-action mechanism. The thumb slide allows for rapid, controlled deployment and retraction of the blade with a simple forward or backward motion. This easy one-handed operation makes it a valuable tool when swift access is essential. For added safety, a locking feature secures the blade both when open and closed, so you can rely on its stability whether it’s in action or stored in your pocket.

The handle, crafted from textured dark earth G-10, provides an ergonomic and firm grip that’s comfortable during extended use. G-10 is a composite material known for its durability, resistance to moisture, and secure handling under any conditions. The dark earth color gives it a subtle, professional look that complements the blade’s black finish, creating a cohesive and functional design. At 4.9" closed, this knife offers a substantial in-hand presence without being bulky, and it weighs only 3.6 ounces, making it well-suited for everyday carry.

Equipped with a stainless steel, tip-down pocket clip, the knife is easily accessible while also allowing for ambidextrous carry, a convenient feature for users on both sides. Every aspect of this knife has been meticulously engineered for reliability, comfort, and effectiveness, ensuring it’s ready for the demands of both tactical and utility use. Order it today from SMKW!
