The Hogue Exploit 3.5 OTF Automatic Tanto Stonewash Gray is a formidable tool built for performance, reliability, and quick accessibility. Hogue’s commitment to precision and quality is evident in every detail, from the smooth deployment to the robust construction.

Designed for professionals and enthusiasts alike, the Exploit series is engineered to excel in tough environments, with features that meet the needs of users who refuse to compromise on performance.

At the core of the Hogue Exploit is its 3.5-inch CPM-S30V stainless steel Tanto blade, a premium material renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The stonewashed finish adds a rugged, well-worn look while also helping to minimize the appearance of scratches, preserving the blade’s durability over time. The Tanto-style blade is tailored for tasks requiring a strong tip, making it ideal for piercing, while the flat edge is equally effective for slicing. With a quick and reliable thumb slide mechanism, deploying the blade is effortless and efficient, ensuring that it’s ready when you need it most.

The handle on the Exploit is crafted from gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a lightweight yet solid feel in the hand. Known for its resilience, 6061-T6 aluminum is aircraft-grade, meaning it’s designed to withstand heavy-duty use without adding excess weight. This handle design is not only durable but also comfortable, with a textured surface that provides a firm grip in all conditions. Hogue has equipped this model with an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip in a tip-down configuration, allowing it to be easily carried and accessed by left- and right-handed users alike.

At 4.8 inches when closed and weighing in at just 4 ounces, the Hogue Exploit strikes an excellent balance between portability and functionality, making it well-suited for everyday carry without sacrificing strength. Whether you’re navigating outdoor challenges or handling tasks around the home, this knife is designed to perform consistently.

Built with pride in the USA, the Hogue Exploit 3.5 OTF Automatic Tanto Stonewash Gray is a testament to American craftsmanship, blending high-quality materials with thoughtful, user-centric design. Order it today from SMKW!
