The Hogue Fray Tanto PS Fixed Knife - U.S. Military Issue is a purpose-built tactical fixed blade designed to perform in the harshest conditions imaginable. Developed to meet strict military specifications and trusted alongside American servicemen for nearly a decade, the Fray represents Hogue’s commitment to building dependable tools for professionals who can’t afford compromise when the pressure is on.
Released as part of Hogue’s Memorial Day tribute honoring America’s heroes, the Fray carries a story rooted in service and sacrifice. Through Hogue’s partnership with the DPI Group, veterans with disabilities help hand-assemble each knife with precision and pride, continuing their dedication to the mission through skilled craftsmanship. It’s more than a tactical blade—it’s a symbol of American manufacturing, military heritage, and the people who stand behind it.
At the heart of the Fray is a formidable 4.2” tanto blade crafted from CPM 154 stainless steel with a durable black Cerakote finish. CPM 154 is known for its outstanding toughness, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting edge retention, making it an ideal steel for hard-use tactical applications. The reinforced tanto tip delivers exceptional piercing strength and durability, while the partially serrated edge adds versatility for cutting through rope, straps, and fibrous materials with ease. With a substantial blade thickness of .1875”, the Fray offers the confidence and durability expected from a serious fixed blade. The hand-sharpened honed edge provides razor-sharp cutting performance straight from the factory.
The black U.S. Military Issue handle features ergonomic overmolded scales designed for a secure and comfortable grip in wet, cold, or high-stress conditions. Built for ambidextrous use, the handle offers dependable control and handling no matter the environment or carry position.
The Fray includes a multi-configurable sheath system designed for versatility and adaptability in the field. Compatible with Tek-Lok mounting systems and fully ambidextrous, the sheath allows users to customize carry options to fit their mission, gear setup, or everyday preferences. At 9.1” overall and weighing 5.4 ounces without the sheath, the Fray balances substantial cutting power with carry-friendly practicality.
Proudly made in the USA and backed by three generations of manufacturing expertise, the Hogue Fray Tanto PS Fixed Knife stands as a battle-proven tool built for those who serve, protect, and push forward no matter the conditions.
Crafted by hands that understand sacrifice, the Fray stands as a tribute to America’s heroes, available at SMKW.
