SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hogue Deka SMKW Exclusive ABLE Lock Folder in black-on-black is a no-nonsense, American-made folder built for those who demand performance without compromise. Designed with input from professionals and crafted with precision, this knife is a hard-use tool made to go the distance, whether you're on duty, in the field, or working around the shop.
At the core of the Deka is a 3.25-inch tanto blade made from CPM Magnacut, a next-generation stainless steel known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Finished in black for added stealth and wear protection, the tanto profile offers excellent piercing strength and reinforced tip durability—perfect for tactical applications and heavy-duty cutting tasks.
Deployment is fast and intuitive with dual thumb studs, and the blade locks up solid thanks to Hogue’s proprietary ABLE Lock system. This ambidextrous, spring-loaded mechanism delivers rock-solid security with smooth, easy one-handed operation, giving you full control whether you’re working with gloves or bare hands.
The black polymer handle is lightweight, tough, and aggressively textured for a confident grip in any condition. It’s shaped for comfort and control, with subtle finger contours and a balanced feel in hand. This model also features a reversible, deep-carry tip-up pocket clip, allowing for discreet and secure everyday carry.
Measuring 4.25 inches closed and 7.5 inches overall, the Deka packs full-size performance into a slim, pocket-friendly design that’s ready to be put to work. Weighing in at just under 3 ounces, it’s light enough for all-day carry without sacrificing durability or strength.
Proudly made in the USA, the Hogue Deka SMKW Exclusive is more than just a folder—it’s a purpose-built tool engineered for those who rely on their gear day in and day out. With premium materials, rock-solid mechanics, and American craftsmanship, it’s a blade you can trust when it counts.
