SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hogue EX-01 3.5" Sig Tactical Folder is a tough, no-nonsense folding knife built for professionals who demand reliability, control, and performance in a compact platform. Purpose-driven and made in the USA, this knife is packed with premium materials, smart design, and tactical styling that’s ready for field use or everyday carry.
At the core of the EX-01 is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from 154CM stainless steel—a trusted American-made alloy known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The blade wears a grey Cerakote finish that enhances wear resistance and reduces reflectivity, offering a clean, subdued look that holds up under tough conditions. The drop point profile gives you a strong tip and plenty of belly, making it a versatile choice for slicing, piercing, and utility work.
The blade deploys smoothly via dual thumb studs, offering quick, reliable one-handed opening. Once open, it locks into place with Hogue’s button lock mechanism, which provides solid lock-up with smooth, easy release. This system is built for strength and long-term reliability, giving you confidence that the blade will stay exactly where you want it during hard use.
The handle is made from solid black G-10, precision-machined for a secure, comfortable grip. G-10 is highly resistant to moisture, impact, and temperature changes, making it a trusted material for real-world use. Inlaid into the handle is a grey Cerakote SIG medallion—a subtle, rugged detail that ties the knife into its tactical roots and adds a signature look. At 4.5 inches closed and 4.3 ounces, the EX-01 is well balanced for all-day carry without feeling bulky or overbuilt.
A stainless steel tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, and the overall design is clean, functional, and built for speed and strength. Whether you're out on the job, on the range, or off the grid, the EX-01 delivers dependable performance with American-made quality behind every cut. Order it today from SMKW!
