Hogue Knives

[Razor]

If a man has a 4" drop point blade Hogue, and he decided to get another one,
would you get a tanto?

 

[Mossyhorn]

Only if you have any use for a tanto.

 

[Shawn B.]

I would buy a tanto, just to round out the collection.

Don't forget about the new Hogue fixed blades that just came out!!!!

I was just looking at those. I think I like the 5.5" version a bit better then the 7". Looks a bit more useful. Anyone planning on getting one?

 

[Razor]

Their fix blades do look good. I would like to have the 7" to carry on the 4 wheeler.

I have the tanto and it has a nice look and gives the impression it could tackle almost anything. Does tend to be a bit blade heavy at first handling, but after a few minutes you don't notice it.
I've been considering a drop point as an addition, but that may stay on hold until the ex02 comes out.....thinking I might be able to see and handle that that at this years Blade.

Have you heard about the planned, new folder offerings coming out?

Is the aluminum handle knife a lot stronger than the G10?

Is the aluminum handle knife a lot stronger than the G10?

6061 aluminum is very strong. I can't say if it's stronger than G10, but I did see someone run over a flashlight in aluminum with his truck and it was fine aside from the scuff marks. My only concern with aluminum has always been the coating.

 

[Reeek]

I'm pretty sure the aluminum models do not share the same SS bolster plate with the G-Mascus. I might be wrong because all I've ever owned are G-Mascus models. If not though, they should. Even without owning an aluminum model, I can't envision a smoother, more natural feeling action that the two steels rubbing aganist each instead of a layer of two to four materals in the friction fight. The G10 models I have had were as smooth as any other good knife, even in their own way. The 4" G-Mascus pretty much only needed a verbal command to open

I'm pretty sure you are correct about that.

It is a very smooth knife. Very robust, makes you feel like you could chop down a tree with the darn thing. Dang impressive production knife.

Only minor complaint I had with mine is that the detent was a little less than I would have liked. Which is contrary to what others have said.

 

[Owie]

A man might go with another drop point in a different style handle!

Fixed blades!?!?!

Man there are SOOO many great knives coming out these days.

 

[Thrill]

I've been wanting to try the 4" drop point with black aluminum handle. I love the 3.5 in gmascus, just wish the handle was a bit longer.
