Hogue 24456 Mysto 3.40" Folding Clip Point Plain Black Stonewashed CPM MagnaCut Steel Blade, Maple Valley Richlite Blue Handle
The Hogue Mysto is a compact, mid-size folding knife built for everyday carry, field work, and general-purpose cutting tasks. At 7.8 inches open and a mere 2.5 ounces, this knife rides light in a pocket or on a belt without adding bulk—ideal for hunters, anglers, campers, and anyone who wants serious steel in a practical package. The 3.4-inch clip-point blade delivers the controlled precision of a classic profile while the CPM MagnaCut stainless steel brings modern edge retention and corrosion resistance to the table.
Hogue engineered the Mysto with the shooter's mindset: reliable, no-nonsense, built to work. The blade is stone-tumbled and hand-honed flat-grind for a sharp, refined edge right out of the box. CPM MagnaCut, treated cryogenically and hardened to 62-64 HRC, holds that edge through real use while resisting the rust and staining that plague lesser steels. The Maple Valley Richlite blue handle provides warm, comfortable grip without the brittleness of G10—it's a material that ages gracefully in the field.
The ABLE Lock (Ambidextrous Bar Lock Enhanced) is a manual, ambidextrous locking mechanism that feels positive and secure, and the deep-carry pocket clip works tip-up or tip-down for left or right-handed carry. Light blue anodized titanium backspacers and thumb studs add both function and visual interest without unnecessary weight. A lanyard hole lets you tether it to a pack or belt if you're working rough country, and the included Bruhns Design water element patch is the kind of detail that speaks to Hogue's attention to design.
This is the kind of knife that doesn't try to be everything—it's a fixed-carry folder that excels at what it does. Whether you're processing game, maintaining camp, or just need a reliable blade on your hip, the Mysto delivers premium steel, thoughtful ergonomics, and genuine durability at a weight and size that make it easy to keep with you, every time.
