The Hogue Extreme EX-04 series folder is a folding knife designed by Allen Elishewitz, inspired by his custom Hyde knife. The blade has two hollow ground bevels, giving it a visually appealing look while still being practical. It opens smoothly and locks securely in place with a plunge-lock and manual safety. The handle is ergonomically contoured for a comfortable and secure grip, and it also has a pocket clip for convenient tip-down carry. This particular model has a 3.5" upswept style blade and a black/gray lava G-Mascus G10 handle.
