Hogue Exploit 3.5 OTF Automatic Tanto Stonewash Black

The Hogue Exploit 3.5 OTF Automatic Tanto Stonewash Black is designed for the user who demands precision, reliability, and a tactical edge in a sleek, compact form. Made proudly in the USA, this out-the-front automatic knife is built with rugged durability and functionality in mind, making it an ideal choice for professionals, first responders, and anyone who relies on their gear to perform under pressure. With Hogue’s signature craftsmanship and high-quality materials, the Exploit 3.5 is engineered for dependable use in the field or as an everyday carry.

The Exploit’s 3.5-inch CPM-S30V stainless steel blade is crafted to endure. Known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, CPM-S30V steel is a premium choice that holds up under hard use. This model features a Tanto blade profile with a stonewash finish that not only enhances durability but also gives the knife a rugged, low-glare look that conceals wear. The Tanto point is built for strong piercing ability while the flat edge offers excellent slicing performance, making this blade as versatile as it is resilient. The dual-action thumb slide allows for rapid, one-handed deployment and secure retraction, giving users the speed and reliability they need in high-stakes moments.

The handle, crafted from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, is lightweight yet incredibly strong, with an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in the hand. This aircraft-grade aluminum is favored for its balance of durability and weight, providing a solid grip without unnecessary bulk. The handle’s matte black finish not only adds to the knife’s streamlined look but also offers scratch resistance, keeping it in peak condition even after heavy use. Hogue has added a tip-down, ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip, making the Exploit easily accessible from either side and allowing for secure carry whether in tactical gear or an everyday pocket.

Measuring 4.8 inches closed and weighing only 4 ounces, the Exploit is compact and easy to carry, making it perfect for those who need a high-performance tool without the added weight. This knife offers a blend of precision engineering and reliable strength that’s built to last.

Proudly made in the USA, the Hogue Exploit 3.5 OTF Automatic Tanto Stonewash Black is a true testament to quality craftsmanship, designed to handle demanding tasks with ease and confidence. Order it today from SMKW!
