HOGUE SIG X1-Microflip Emperor Scorpion 2.75in Plain FDE Wharncliffe HG16160

The HOGUE SIG X1-Microflip Emperor Scorpion brings together military-grade performance and sleek design in a compact, high-performance package made for everyday carry. Built for those who demand precision, speed, and reliability in a folding knife, this Microflip model doesn’t just meet expectations—it exceeds them, with premium materials and refined engineering throughout.

At the heart of this compact powerhouse is a 2.75” Wharncliffe blade made from CPM 154 stainless steel, a high-end alloy known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade's straight cutting edge and sharp tip are ideal for precision tasks, controlled slicing, and detailed work—perfect for users who appreciate both utility and control. Finished in a tactical PVD Flat Dark Earth coating, the blade resists wear while offering a clean, matte aesthetic that sets this knife apart from the crowd.

The blade deploys effortlessly using a low-profile flipper tab, snapping open with smooth precision thanks to the manual action and Hogue’s expert tuning. A secure push button lock ensures confident engagement and easy one-handed closure, keeping the operation seamless and fast—just what you want in a knife designed for daily use.

The handle is crafted from durable black G-10, offering a lightweight but rugged grip that holds up under pressure. It’s contoured to sit comfortably in the hand, with textured surfaces that improve handling without feeling abrasive. Despite its compact profile, the X1-Microflip delivers a firm, confident grip, giving you full control even in demanding or fast-paced situations.

At just 2.9 ounces and 3.85” when closed, this knife is compact enough to disappear into your pocket until you need it—but when deployed, its 6.6” overall length offers a full-size feel in a streamlined frame. A tip-up ambidextrous pocket clip ensures comfortable, discreet carry for both right- and left-handed users, and a recessed lanyard hole adds versatility for those who like to customize their carry setup.

Built in the USA and backed by Hogue’s reputation for quality and innovation, the SIG X1-Microflip Emperor Scorpion is more than just a tactical tool—it’s a reflection of precision craftsmanship and user-focused design. Whether you’re a first responder, an enthusiast, or simply someone who values premium gear in your daily routine, this knife fits the bill with both form and function.
