SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hogue Counterstrike OTF Automatic is a high-performance out-the-front knife designed for those who demand speed, strength, and reliability. This is the result of a collaboration between Field Ethos and the Ministry of Defence, combining elite design principles with real-world tactical input. Built with premium materials and precision engineering, this American-made knife delivers smooth, rapid deployment with its double-action thumb slide, making it an excellent choice for tactical professionals, first responders, and everyday carry enthusiasts.
At its core, the Counterstrike features a razor-sharp 3.35-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel, a top-tier blade material known for its incredible edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The black PVD finish enhances durability while providing a low-profile, non-reflective surface ideal for tactical use. Whether piercing, slicing, or performing detailed cutting tasks, the drop point profile ensures excellent versatility.
The handle is built from matte black 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum, ensuring a lightweight yet incredibly strong frame. Complemented by a solid black G-10 cover, it provides enhanced grip and control, even in demanding conditions. The double-action thumb slide allows for smooth, effortless deployment and retraction, ensuring quick access when every second counts. A deep-carry tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife discreet and ready for deployment, while the integrated glass breaker adds an extra layer of utility for emergency situations. The MOD medallion adds a finishing touch to this elite design, further cementing its status as a premium tactical tool.
Weighing only 2.9 ounces, the Counterstrike is remarkably lightweight for an OTF automatic of this caliber, making it easy to carry without adding unnecessary bulk. With its precision craftsmanship and rugged durability, this knife is built to withstand the rigors of hard use while maintaining a sleek, streamlined profile. Proudly made in the USA, the Hogue Counterstrike OTF Automatic embodies the brand’s dedication to quality, innovation, and performance.
