Hogue 24373 Deka 3.25" Folding Clip Point Plain Stone Tumbled CPM MagnaCut Steel Blade, Blue Textured GRN Handle

The Hogue 24373 Deka is a made-in-the-USA folding knife that brings Allen Elishewitz's custom design vision to the field at a working-knife price point. Built on Hogue's reputation for marrying traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and processes, the Deka delivers a practical mid-size blade for hunters, outdoor workers, and everyday carry users who want a reliable EDC knife that won't quit.

The 3.25-inch clip point blade is the heart of this knife. Forged from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—a premium, modern alloy known for holding an edge and resisting corrosion—it's been cryogenically heat treated to 62–64 HRC for durability and edge retention that punches above its weight class. The stone-tumbled finish gives it a lived-in character, while the flat grind and hand-honed edge come ready to work right out of the box. At 2.1 ounces with an overall length of 7.5 inches (4.25 inches closed), it balances compact carry with genuine cutting utility.

The handle is where daily carry comfort matters most. The blue textured GRN (glass-reinforced nylon) scales provide positive grip even when wet or gloved, while the ambidextrous thumb studs let you deploy the blade smoothly from either hand. The ABLE Lock mechanism is Hogue's refined take on mid-lock security—ambidextrous and engineered to stay put during hard use without feeling stiff or mushy. Whether you're processing game, prepping camp meals, maintaining gear, or just need a sharp blade in your pocket, the Deka earns its place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hogue Deka a good EDC or everyday carry knife?

Yes. At 4.25 inches closed and 2.1 ounces, it's compact enough for pants or jacket pocket carry without bulk or weight penalty. The clip point blade is practical for camp, kitchen, and field tasks, and the blue GRN handle and stone-tumbled finish show character rather than pristine detail. The ABLE Lock keeps the blade secure in your pocket during work and movement.

What makes CPM MagnaCut steel better than standard stainless?

CPM MagnaCut is a modern powdered steel alloy that holds an edge significantly longer than traditional stainless while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. Hogue's cryogenic heat treatment brings it to 62–64 HRC, optimizing toughness and edge life. For hunters and outdoors users, that means fewer touch-ups in the field and more reliable performance when the knife matters most.

Can left-handed users deploy and operate the Deka safely?

Yes. The knife features ambidextrous thumb studs for left- or right-hand deployment, and the ABLE Lock mechanism is also ambidextrous, so either hand can engage or disengage it with confidence and control.
