Hogue, known mainly as a strong USA-based gun grip manufacturer, has been around making high quality tactical equipment for both civilians and the military since the late 1960’s. An incredibly reputable and “household-name” brand, Hogue now offers a large number of pocket knives. Including manual folders with modern-day ambidextrous locking mechanisms such as their signature ABLE lock, to push button automatics, to tomahawks, and of course out the front auto’s, Hogue’s knives all have a special feeling to them, and all prove dependable. There’s a reason Hogue’s products are issued to every branch of the U.S. military. We have been blown away by the quality of knives coming from Hogue, and we are excited to expand our selection of all styles of knives coming from the US-based company. Hogue also proudly manufactures knives from tactical brands Heckler & Koch (H&K) and SIG SAUER. We have had Hogue’s main line of knives and a select few H&K’s, and not one of them has been underwhelming. If you’re looking for something dependable and made in the US by a well-known American brand, look to pick up a Hogue for yourself.
