The Hogue Saxum Collector Series Folder represents the perfect blend of cutting-edge materials, refined design, and American manufacturing excellence. Designed by Jim Bruhns of Bruhns Design, the Saxum isn't just another premium folding knife—it’s a purpose-built tool crafted for those who appreciate exceptional performance, flawless mechanics, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship. Simply put, the Saxum isn't just carried, it's chosen.
As one of the newest additions to Hogue's prestigious Collector Series, this version of the Saxum showcases the company's first-ever use of CPM MagnaMax steel. Developed by renowned metallurgist Dr. Larrin Thomas, MagnaMax has quickly earned a reputation for delivering an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Hogue worked directly with Dr. Thomas to develop precise heat treatment specifications that maximize the steel's groundbreaking performance. The result is a 2.8-inch drop point blade that's ready to excel in demanding everyday cutting tasks while maintaining exceptional long-term durability.
Deployment is smooth, fast, and satisfying thanks to the blue anodized thumb studs and Hogue's precision-engineered thrust bearing system. The blade glides open with remarkable fluidity, while the robust push-button lock provides secure lockup and effortless one-handed operation. Combined with Hogue's tight manufacturing tolerances, the action feels refined, confident, and dependable every time the knife is opened or closed.
The handle is equally impressive. A lightweight yet durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum frame provides strength without unnecessary weight, while smooth carbon fiber inserts add a sleek, modern appearance and premium feel. The contrast between the matte black frame, carbon fiber accents, and blue anodized hardware creates a striking visual package that's sophisticated without being flashy.
Measuring 4 inches closed and 6.8 inches overall, the Saxum strikes an ideal balance between compact carry and practical usability. Despite its premium construction, it weighs just 2.5 ounces, making it exceptionally comfortable for everyday pocket carry. A deep-carry pocket clip configured for right-hand tip-up carry keeps the knife discreetly and securely in place when not in use.
Proudly made in the USA and backed by three generations of manufacturing expertise, the Hogue Saxum Collector Series delivers premium materials, innovative engineering, and luxurious fit and finish in a package built to be used, admired, and passed down for years to come.
The Hogue Saxum delivers top-tier performance and collector-worthy style, available now at SMKW.
