Hogue 24457 Mysto 3.40" Folding Clip Point Plain Black Stonewashed CPM MagnaCut Steel Blade, Maple Valley Richlite Black Handle

The Hogue Mysto is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry and general field work. With a 3.4" blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, this is a serious cutting tool in a package that fits easily in your pocket. The stonewashed finish and drop-point blade profile are classic — practical, tough, and understated. Whether you're breaking down game, processing firewood, or just need a dependable blade on hand, the Mysto delivers the cutting performance you expect from a quality folder without unnecessary bulk.

CPM MagnaCut is a premium powder metallurgy steel that balances edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. At 62–64 HRC hardness and finished with a hand-honed, flat-ground edge, this blade holds a keen point and slices cleanly. The cryogenic heat treatment strengthens the steel throughout, translating to a knife that performs day after day. The black diamond Richlite handle is tough, weather-resistant, and comfortable in gloved or bare hands — no fussy maintenance required.

The ABLE (Ambidextrous Bar Lock Enhanced) locking mechanism is smooth and secure, equally at home for right- or left-handed users. The deep-carry pocket clip lets you position the blade tip-up or tip-down, your choice. Titanium backspacers and a lanyard hole round out the details. Closed, the Mysto measures 4.4", and fully deployed it reaches 7.8". At 2.5 oz, it won't weigh down a pack or cargo pocket. This is a folding knife for folks who actually use their tools.

Hogue includes a branded metal patch with the knife — a small touch that reflects their design-forward approach. The Mysto is a genuinely original folder that doesn't pretend to be something it's not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mysto ambidextrous?

Yes. The ABLE lock and deep-carry pocket clip work for both right- and left-handed users. You can position the clip for tip-up or tip-down carry to match your preference.

What is CPM MagnaCut and why is it a good choice for a folding knife?

CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel that offers excellent edge retention and strong corrosion resistance. It's easier to sharpen than some ultra-hard steels and is forgiving in the field. The Mysto's blade is heat-treated to 62–64 HRC hardness and cryogenically processed, giving you a blade that stays sharp and performs reliably in wet or corrosive conditions.

How small and light is the Mysto for everyday carry?

Closed, it measures 4.4" and weighs just 2.5 oz — small and light enough to carry comfortably in a jeans pocket, pack, or vest without adding noticeable weight or bulk. The deep-carry clip lets you run it discretely or have it readily accessible, depending on your setup.

What comes in the box?

The Mysto includes a Bruhns Design metal element PVC patch. The knife ships ready to use with no assembly required.
