Hogue Deka 3.25" ABLE Lock Folder Clip Point Blade Blk Finish G-10 - Solid Blk

The Hogue Deka 3.25" ABLE Lock folder is a lightweight, ambidextrous EDC knife built for shooters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who needs a reliable blade in the field or at the range. With its compact 7.5" overall length and trim 2.3 oz weight, it slides into a pocket or pack without bulk, yet the 3.25" clip point blade delivers real cutting performance when you need it. Hogue engineered this knife for hard use: the ABLE lock mechanism works equally well for right- or left-handed carry, the CPM 20CV blade holds an edge through cryogenic heat treatment, and the textured G-10 scales won't slip in your hand, wet or dry.

The clip point geometry is a workhorse shape—sharp enough for fine detail work, tough enough for camp tasks, and nimble enough to carry daily without catching or snagging. The ambidextrous thumb studs let you open the blade smoothly from either hand, and the stainless steel pocket clip can be configured tip-up for either side of your body. That ambidexterity extends throughout the design: whether you're left-handed or right-handed, or just want backup carry options, the Deka adapts to you rather than the other way around.

At 59–61 HRC, the CPM 20CV stainless steel blade is heat-treated to stay sharp longer than softer alternatives, and the hand-honed edge cuts cleanly from day one. The black Cerakote finish resists corrosion and glints won't give away your position in low light. The lanyard hole gives you an option to tether the knife to your pack or belt if you're working rough terrain, and the solid black G-10 scales with crosshatch texture provide sure grip in any weather.

For hunters, shooters, campers, and field workers who value a no-nonsense folder that doesn't weigh you down or complicate your carry, the Hogue Deka ABLE Lock is a sensible choice.
