The Hogue Counterstrike is a double-action OTF drop point knife built for shooters, hunters, and working outdoorsmen who need a reliable blade that deploys instantly. This 3.35-inch out-the-front automatic features CPM 20CV stainless steel heat-treated to 59–61 HRC, giving you a blade tough enough for camp tasks, game processing, or general carry without the maintenance headaches of carbon steel. The drop point profile is a proven all-purpose shape—equally at home on the range or in the field.
What sets the Counterstrike apart is its thoughtful design for real use. The ambidextrous trigger mechanism works for both right and left-handed operators, and the double-action deploy-and-retract setup gives you controlled, one-handed operation without fumbling. The G-Mascus blue G10 and anodized aluminum handle is tough, textured for positive grip, and keeps weight down to just 2.9 ounces—light enough for deep-carry pocket clip carry without dragging your pants down. That clip works both right and left tip-down, so you can carry the way that works for you.
The stone tumbled finish on the blade isn't just aesthetics; it reduces glint and gives you a working-tool look. A removable carbide glass breaker with lanyard loop adds utility without bulk, and Hogue includes a replacement filler screw so you can swap configurations if needed. Whether you're stashing this in a truck, a pack, or your waistband, the Counterstrike is compact at 5 inches closed but opens to 8.35 inches of reach.
