Hogue EX-02 - Anyone handled one?

[Old Smith]

I am eager about the EX-02 flipper and EX-04. Has anyone seen / handled these?

Thanks

I'm probably going to try one too but haven't held one yet

Got my update email submitted, can't wait, the EX01 was a disappointment, way to light in the handle IMHO. I hope the liner lock puts some weight back there, looks nice, but I wish button lock was used, maybe just add a steel backspacer?

I agree - Hogue has that button lock down prertty well - I like it - if overall balance were improved, their knives would step up a couple more notches at least. I still like the EX01. I have one now but with improved balance plus the button lock, that knife would be an off the charts value.

I went to Cabelas a while ago and handled the Hogue, The lockup on that thing is ridiculously strong and solid ive never felt a blade that beefy with such solid lockup... Its a beautiful knife too and would probably take a good beating... Im thinking about picking one up when tax return season comes... ;-)

I've handled one and the only regret is that I didn't buy it.
