Would you recommend the Hogue EX03?

[TheEdge01]

I’m planning on getting a new knife soon. The Hogue EX03 has caught my eye. I like the size, 154cm is my favorite blade steel, and it is in my price range. At this point, my question is how well will it hold up over time? Please feel free to share any info concerning the EX03.

It should hold up fine.

Any reason you want that over the ex01?

Every Hogue knife I have owned has been literally flawless. If you like the design of the knife you can buy with confidence.

I’ve only owned 3 but I’ve played with many at my local brick and mortar and the company has a stellar reputation.

The Ex03 is essentially the same model as the Ex01 just the Ex01 comes in aluminum and g10 handles and the Ex03 comes in glass reinforced polymer handle. (More plasticy feeling handle, like a polymer pistol’s feel)

I like both models about the same, I’m just trying to keep the budget down some.
