The Hogue SIG EX-F01 Rosewood is a stunning blend of American craftsmanship, heritage-inspired design, and battlefield-ready functionality. Built in collaboration with SIG SAUER, this fixed blade knife is engineered for serious performance while maintaining a timeless, refined appearance. Whether you’re on duty, in the backcountry, or adding to a curated collection, the EX-F01 delivers uncompromising quality with a visual appeal that’s every bit as striking as its cutting power.
At the core of this knife is a robust 5.5-inch drop point blade crafted from A2 tool steel. Known for its exceptional toughness and edge retention, A2 offers the kind of performance professionals demand in the field. The blade’s tumbled finish adds a rugged, low-reflective surface while also enhancing corrosion resistance. With a stout .23-inch thickness and full tang construction, the EX-F01 feels solid in hand and stands up to hard use, whether you’re batoning wood, dressing game, or handling utility tasks in unpredictable environments.
Thumb jimping on the spine offers enhanced control for precision work and safer handling, giving you confidence during both delicate and heavy-duty cuts. The blade’s geometry excels in slicing, piercing, and general-purpose cutting, making it as versatile as it is reliable.
What sets this model apart is its elegant, richly grained rosewood handle. Contoured for comfort and shaped for a secure grip, it strikes a balance between sophistication and rugged performance. It’s a nod to tradition with modern strength built in. Inset into the handle is a round nickel silver SIG shield—a symbol of precision and integrity that ties together the partnership between two legendary American names. Dual lanyard holes at the handle’s base allow for added retention or customization, enhancing its carry versatility.
At 10.5 inches overall and weighing 10.4 ounces, the EX-F01 offers a commanding presence without feeling cumbersome. It comes equipped with a black ballistic nylon sheath that’s MOLLE-compatible for easy attachment to belts, packs, or tactical vests. The sheath provides secure retention and quick access, making it an ideal companion for both professional operators and outdoorsmen.
This knife isn’t just made in the USA—it’s proudly made in the USA, and that pride shines through in every detail, from materials to machining. Hogue’s legacy of quality machining and SIG SAUER’s tactical pedigree come together to create a tool that’s meant to be carried, used, and trusted.
