The Hogue Deka 3.25" folding knife combines proven American manufacturing with a design born from renowned custom knifemaker Allen Elishewitz. Built as a dependable everyday carry or field tool, the Deka delivers the kind of rugged reliability you'd expect from a blade made right here in the USA. At 7.5 inches open and just 2.1 ounces, it won't weigh you down whether you're working around camp, processing game, or simply keeping a quality blade within reach.
The heart of the Deka is its clip-point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—a modern, tough alloy that holds an edge through real work and resists corrosion in demanding conditions. The blade is hardened to 62-64 HRC, cryogenically treated for durability, and finished with a black Cerakote coating. A flat grind and hand-honed edge mean you're getting a blade ready to cut from the moment it arrives, not one that needs breaking in.
The knife's ambidextrous thumb studs and ABLE Lock mechanism work together to give you smooth, confident deployment and secure lockup whether you're right- or left-handed. The black polymer clip sits low and discreet on your pocket or gear. At 0.094" thick, the blade strikes a balance between strength and cutting efficiency—substantial enough for demanding tasks, nimble enough for detail work.
Hogue's partnership with Allen Elishewitz's design vision, paired with precision manufacturing, means you're holding a knife built to last. It's the kind of tool that earns its place in your rotation—whether that's daily carry, hunting camp, or your tackle box.
