The Hogue Deka ABLE Lock Folder is a lightweight 7.50-inch manual folding knife built for tactical efficiency, precise everyday slicing, and ambidextrous pocket carry. Knife enthusiasts and daily users often struggle with heavy pocket clutter or lock mechanisms that are difficult to operate single-handed. Designed by Allen Elishewitz and crafted with a 3.25-inch CPM 20CV stainless steel blade, textured G-Mascus G-10 handle scales, and the crossbar-style ABLE Lock system, this folding knife establishes a secure, high-strength platform for demanding cutting tasks.
The 3.25-inch Wharncliffe blade is forged from premium CPM 20CV stainless steel with a flat grind and a protective black Cerakote finish. High in chromium and vanadium, CPM 20CV delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear tolerance under continuous cutting pressure. The Wharncliffe blade geometry directs maximum cutting power straight down the straight edge to the tip for precise box opening, cord trimming, and detailed utility scoring. Dual thumb studs allow smooth, immediate blade deployment with either hand.
The handle features Flat Dark Earth G-Mascus G-10 scales contoured with cross-hatched chevron texturing for a solid grip in wet conditions. Hogue's fully ambidextrous ABLE Lock mechanism utilizes smooth crossbar spring tension to securely lock the blade open while allowing safe, one-handed closure without putting your fingers in the blade path. Measuring 4.25 inches closed and weighing just 2.30 ounces, this folder includes a rear lanyard hole and a reversible tip-up deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip.
