Hogue 35834 Expel 2.50" Folding Scalpel Plain Satin High Carbon Steel Blade
The Hogue Expel 2.50" Folding Scalpel is a precision cutting tool built for folks who need reliable edge performance in the field or shop. This American-made folder pairs a high carbon steel blade with a robust 416 stainless steel frame, designed to handle detailed cutting tasks where control and sharpness matter. The plain satin finish on the blade resists glare and shows honest wear—no flash, just function.

The handle features G10 scales in bright orange, giving you confident grip in variable conditions and making the knife easy to spot in a gear bag or on a work surface.
