Hogue is the exclusive USA manufacturer of Heckler & Koch licensed knives, building the full HK cutlery line at the same American facility as the flagship Hogue catalog. The HK series is purpose-built for military, law enforcement, first responders, and EDC users who need a duty-grade folder, OTF auto, or fixed blade backed by Hogue's CNC manufacturing. Steel options across the lineup include 154CM and CPM S45VN, with handles in G-10, ChromaCut layered G-10, machined aluminum, and rubber overmold.
The HK Exemplar is the manual EDC anchor of the HK line, with a 3.25-inch 154CM clip point blade in tumbled or partially serrated black Cerakote configurations. Machined G-10 handles in black or FDE deliver a textured, no-slip grip across temperature and weather conditions. The pivot lock mechanism is fully ambidextrous, paired with dual thumb studs for single-handed deployment and a four-position reversible deep-carry pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side.
The HK First Response Tool is a 3.5-inch CPM S45VN drop point folder built on the ABLE Lock crossbar mechanism, available in plain edge or partially serrated configurations with black Cerakote finishes. The ChromaCut G-10 frame in red and black uses a layered base of red G-10 overlaid with milled black G-10 in a peel ply texture for high-grip handling in critical situations. Integrated rescue features include a thumb-stud-deployed seatbelt cutter, an oxygen valve wrench machined into the frame, and a carbide glass breaker for vehicle extraction. A MOLLE-compatible nylon belt pouch ships standard.
The HK OTF family covers three blade lengths on Hogue's double-action out-the-front mechanism with ambidextrous trigger deployment and retraction. The HK Hadron runs a 3.375-inch 154CM blade in clip point, tanto, bayonet, or spear point profiles on a 6061-T6 hard anodized aluminum frame in black or grey. The HK Mini Incursion sits in the middle of the line with clip point and tanto profiles, while the full-size HK Incursion extends to a 3.9-inch bayonet blade for duty applications. Select Incursion variants ship with Night Fision tritium-infused triggers for low-light identification of the deployment switch.
The HK Fray is the fixed blade of the HK line, available in clip point and tanto profiles with black and red rubber overmolded handles for grip in wet or gloved conditions. Every HK knife is made in the USA at Hogue's American facility and backed by a limited lifetime warranty with free factory sharpening to the original owner.
