The Hogue Deka is a 3.25-inch ABLE Lock folder designed by Allen Elishewitz. Blade steel options include CPM-20CV and CPM MagnaCut, both cryogenically heat treated. Clip point and modified wharncliffe profiles are available with stonewash or black Cerakote finishes.
Handle options range from lightweight polymer to textured G-10 in solid colors and G-Mascus patterns. Collector Series models run carbon fiber with tritium inserts in the lock bar. The knife weighs around 2.3 ounces and disappears in the pocket.
The ABLE Lock (Ambidextrous Bar Lock Enhanced) is Hogue's crossbar lock. A spring-loaded steel bar wedges into the blade tang for solid lockup. One-handed closing keeps fingers clear of the blade path. The deep-carry clip is reversible for left or right-hand carry.
Hogue manufactures the Deka in Henderson, Nevada. Blades are cryogenically heat-treated and hand-honed.
