Hogue Deka Limited edition

[unwisefool]

Dang, I wanted the one with the copper. Oh well.

 

[tgtodd]

These were released last Friday and have already sold out.

Most likely being made in small batches, like the Hogue Ritter.

 

[tgtodd]

They are in stock now.

 

[unwisefool]

Hogue told me the copper version was only for Blade show, so I guess I'll wait until they make one similar or go without

 

[GrobTheory]

Just ordered. I have had two grips and sold both, but my hogue Ritter is a tank and going to stay. If they build this one the same way I can totally see it being a winner.

 

[tgtodd]

Ordered mine on the 23rd received it today!

This is the worst review ever!

And?!

 

[tgtodd]

This is the worst review ever!

Not a review, just a statement.

And?!

I will unbox it later.

Patience is a virtue...

Wait, you haven't even opened it yet? Where is my pitchfork? And my torch??

Hold on I'll be back once I find them

 

[tgtodd]

Waiting with my AR and 1911...

Waiting with my AR and 1911...

don't be silly, those are no defense against a mob of angry villagers

Unboxed it.
Blade shape and handles are nice, feels good in hand. Fasteners are all T8. There is a bunch of them on this little knife.
But, blade is not centered and the lockbar is crooked. Same problem on my Ritter, one of the springs is sprung.(Wolff springs?)
There is a dark spot on the blade.Heat treatment?
Blade thickness is 2.35mm, not 2.54mm (.100").
Thumb studs cannot be taken off without a special tool.(no Torx or Hex)
2 bolt pocket clip is very thin and proprietary. I would prefer 3 bolt clip.

Disappointed. I was hoping this knife would be better than this.
I am sending this back.

 

[unwisefool]

Well that's disappointing

Ew. Mine should be here Saturday. Hoping for a better first impression. Out of curiosity which configuration was yours? I got the plain black with satin blade

Black and satin also.
Hope yours is better.

 

[tgtodd]

Did yours show up?

 

[GrobTheory]

Arrived and returned the same day. Good design with poor execution. Centering was off and it had blade play, thoroughly unacceptable for $150. Oh well.

 

[jstrange]

Damn, that’s disappointing. Very cool design let down by poor execution. Kinda sounds like a lot of Benchmades

Too bad they had to copy BMs QC, should have stopped after the lock lol. Still love the hogue ritter though, they got that one right.
