Hogue X5 Flipper: 4.0" Spear Point Blade - Tumbled Finish OD Green Aluminum Frame
The Hogue X5 Flipper is a compact, ambidextrous EDC knife built for shooters, hunters, and field workers who need reliable steel on the hip or in the pocket. With a 4-inch spear point blade in CPM 154 stainless steel, this is a working knife that handles camp tasks, gear prep, and cutting chores without fuss. The OD green aluminum frame fits the outdoor aesthetic and pairs well with tactical or hunting rigs, while the tumbled finish hides daily wear better than polished steel.
What sets the X5 Flipper apart is its practical design thinking: the push button lock with manual safety gives you one-handed deployment without guesswork, and the ambidextrous flipper works equally well for left- or right-handed carry and use. The stainless steel pocket clip sits deep and rides right or left, letting you position the knife to match your draw hand and carry style. At 5.7 ounces with a 5.25-inch closed profile, it's light enough for all-day pocket carry without bulk. The lanyard hole is there if you want to tether it to a pack or belt loop.
The blade itself is no gimmick: CPM 154 is a proven mid-range stainless known for edge retention and corrosion resistance. Hogue heat-treated it to 57–59 HRC hardness, then finished it with a high flat grind and hand-honed edge. That stone tumbled face cuts down glint and matches the understated frame aesthetic. Whether you're breaking down a game animal, processing firewood at camp, or just need a sharp edge in a truck toolbox, the X5 Flipper handles the work.
