Hogue Counterstrike Out-the-Front Automatic Knife (Black Drop Point, Dark Earth G-Mascus)

The Hogue Counterstrike out-the-front automatic knife is a standout in lightweight, precision-crafted performance. Known for producing top-quality tactical tools, Hogue has once again delivered a knife with the strength and reliability that tactical enthusiasts demand, all while keeping it remarkably light and slim. Created by Hogue President Jim Bruhns, the Counterstrike series is designed with a focus on eliminating trigger rattle and blade play, ensuring a tight, dependable feel with each deployment. For users who rely on their tools in critical situations, this attention to detail is a game-changer, providing seamless functionality every time.

This model boasts a 3.35-inch CPM 20CV stainless steel blade, known for its impressive edge retention and high resistance to wear and corrosion. The blade has been treated with a black PVD coating, adding a sleek, rugged look while further enhancing its durability. With a precision-engineered drop point design, the blade excels in versatility, capable of performing a wide range of tasks with remarkable efficiency. Whether you're slicing, piercing, or cutting, the Counterstrike blade is built to get the job done effectively and reliably.

The handle of the Counterstrike enhances both comfort and stability in the hand. It features a Dark Earth G-Mascus layered G-10 front handle, lending a distinctive look with its durable, layered composition that adds a touch of rugged elegance. On the reverse side, a textured black G-10 rear handle provides a secure, non-slip grip, even in wet conditions. This pairing of materials makes the knife feel balanced and nimble, while the anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum casing delivers exceptional toughness. Despite its strength, the knife maintains an incredibly lightweight profile, weighing in at only 2.9 ounces, making it easy to carry all day.

For added convenience, Hogue has equipped the Counterstrike with an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip, ensuring that it’s easy to access regardless of hand preference. In critical situations, the carbide glass breaker at the end of the handle can be a lifesaver, giving users a reliable tool to escape from vehicles or other confined spaces when time is of the essence. Every element of the Counterstrike is designed with durability and user-centric functionality in mind, promising long-lasting performance in the field or as part of an everyday carry.

Proudly made in the USA, the Hogue Counterstrike embodies American craftsmanship and innovation, providing a top-tier automatic knife built to withstand demanding conditions without compromising on quality or design. Order it today from SMKW!
