Hogue 24163 X1 MicroFlip 2.75" Folding Wharncliffe Plain Tumble Polish 154CM SS Blade/Aquamarine Anodized Aluminum Handle Includes Pocket Clip

The Hogue X1 MicroFlip is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry and field work. At 2.75 inches, the wharncliffe blade strikes a balance between cutting utility and portability—the flat-ground wharncliffe profile excels at detail work and push cuts without the aggressive tip of a drop-point or clip-point design. The 154CM stainless steel blade arrives with a tumble-polished finish that hides wear and gives it a refined, lived-in look from day one. Whether you're processing game in camp, opening packages at your desk, or handling general backcountry tasks, this blade shape and steel combination will handle the job without demanding constant maintenance.

The aquamarine anodized aluminum handle keeps weight minimal while the machined construction feels solid and intentional in hand. The integrated pocket clip rides discretely and securely, making this knife equally at home clipped inside a jeans pocket or a hunting vest. For users who value a smaller package that doesn't sacrifice functionality, the X1 MicroFlip delivers the precision and refinement Hogue is known for in a truly pocketable format.

This is a folding knife for people who actually use their knives—not a showpiece. The wharncliffe geometry and proven 154CM steel make it a sensible choice for hunters, anglers, campers, and anyone who carries a blade as a tool, not an accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wharncliffe blade and what is it good for?

A wharncliffe blade features a flat or slightly curved cutting edge that runs all the way to a squared-off spine, creating a spine-forward profile. This design excels at detail work, slicing, and push cuts without a sharp point. It's ideal for field dressing game, processing food, and general utility cutting where precision matters and you don't need an aggressive tip.

Is the X1 MicroFlip suitable for hunting and field use?

Yes. The 154CM blade steel is corrosion-resistant and performs well for camp tasks, field processing, and general backcountry work. The compact size and pocket clip make it easy to carry and access when you need it.

What does tumble polish finish mean?

Tumble polishing is a finishing process that creates a soft, satiny sheen on the blade. Beyond aesthetics, this finish helps conceal scratches and wear marks, so the knife maintains a refined appearance even with regular use in the field.

Will the aluminum handle hold up to outdoor use?

The aquamarine anodized aluminum is treated to resist corrosion, making it suitable for hunting, fishing, and camping. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that hardens the surface, and aluminum itself is naturally corrosion-resistant, so it will perform reliably in wet and dirty conditions.
