Hogue
The Hogue Exploit OTF automatic knife with a 3-1/2" tanto blade is a purpose-built tactical folder that puts a reliable, fast-deploying blade in your hand when seconds matter. Built around a double-action out-the-front (OTF) mechanism, the Exploit delivers ambidextrous trigger deployment and retraction—meaning lefties and righties alike get the same smooth, instantaneous action. Whether you're a tactical professional, serious EDC carrier, or someone who values function-first design, this is a knife engineered for performance, not flash.
The tanto blade profile is a modern classic: aggressive geometry that excels at penetration and cutting tasks while maintaining a reinforced tip. Hogue specified CPM S30V stainless steel, a premium tool steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance—no small detail if you're carrying daily or in variable conditions. The blade arrives hand-sharpened and honed, ready to work out of the box. Black PVD coating keeps it subdued and reduces glare; cryogenic heat treatment locks in hardness (58–61 HRC) for a blade that holds an edge.
The frame is matte black 6061-T6 hard anodized aluminum—lightweight, durable, and built to handle hard use. Deep-carry pocket clip lets you position the knife tip-down for either right- or left-handed carry, so it disappears into your pocket without advertising itself. The glow-in-the-dark tritium-infused trigger is a practical touch: you'll find the deployment mechanism in low light without fumbling, and it adds a subtle tactical aesthetic without compromise.

Yes. The double-action trigger is ambidextrous, so both left and right-handed users can deploy and retract the blade with equal ease. The pocket clip is also configurable for right or left-handed tip-down carry.
CPM S30V is a premium tool steel known for holding a sharp edge longer than many stainless steels while resisting corrosion—a practical balance for everyday carry and tactical use.
