At the heart of the EX-A05 is its 3.5-inch spear point blade, crafted from CPM-154 stainless steel, a premium material prized for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion.

Deployment is quick and reliable with a push-button opener that ensures easy, single-handed activation whenever needed.
Safety is a core feature of the EX-A05, and Hogue has incorporated a thoughtful slide safety lock that keeps the blade securely in place, both when open and closed. This reliable locking mechanism provides peace of mind for users who prioritize safe handling, allowing you to carry and deploy this knife with confidence in any setting. The handle, crafted from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, delivers a comfortable and secure grip, with an ergonomic shape that feels natural in the hand. Lightweight yet sturdy, this aluminum construction is resilient enough to endure heavy use while maintaining a refined, streamlined profile.
For added convenience, the EX-A05 is outfitted with a stainless steel tip-up pocket clip, enabling comfortable, easy access whether you’re on the move or working in challenging environments. The knife also includes a lanyard hole, providing alternative carrying options or room for personalization. At 4.62 inches when closed and weighing just 4.6 ounces, the EX-A05 is compact enough to fit comfortably in a pocket without sacrificing strength or functionality.
