Hogue Deka 3.25" Wharncliffe Folding Knife

Hogue Deka: American-Made Precision Folding Knife

The Hogue Deka represents a refined approach to everyday carry and utility cutting. Built on a foundation of over five decades of precision manufacturing, this folder combines proven design principles with modern materials and construction techniques.

Blade Design and Performance

The modified wharncliffe blade offers a distinctive profile that excels at slicing and detail work. At 3.25 inches, it provides adequate reach for most cutting tasks while maintaining excellent control. The CPM-20CV stainless steel blade is cryogenically heat treated to 59-61 HRC, delivering a hard edge that holds its sharpness through extended use. The stone tumbled finish provides both aesthetic appeal and practical corrosion resistance.

Handling and Mechanics

The ambidextrous ABLE lock mechanism ensures secure blade retention regardless of your hand orientation. Dual thumb studs accommodate both right and left-handed operation. The stainless steel pocket clip is reversible for tip-up carry on either side, making this knife adaptable to your preferred carry method. A lanyard hole provides additional retention options.

Construction and Comfort

G-Mascus Blue Lava G10 scales feature a crosshatch texture that provides reliable grip in various conditions. The handle design balances comfort with control, and at 2.3 ounces, the knife carries without burden. Closed length is 4.25 inches, opening to 7.5 inches overall.

Made in the USA

Hogue manufactures this knife domestically, continuing a tradition of American craftsmanship in precision tools.
