Hogue Compound Tumbled S30V Tanto G-Mascus Black G10 OTF Automatic 34029

Despite the subdued all black finish, the Hogue Compound stands out from the crowd. This premium double action out-the-front automatic features a solid G10 handle construction with honeycomb milling and unique lines courtesy of designer Allen Elishewitz, retired Recon Marine. This version comes with a tumbled S30V Tanto blade and G-Mascus black G10 handle.

Brand new, direct from Hogue Knives.

Blade: An American style Tanto blade of CPM-S30V comes with a rugged, wear hiding tumbled finish. The forward edge handles piercing, detail work and flat surface cutting. A high saber grind delivers a balance of strength and slicing performance while the fluted spine enhances reliability in operation. Double action operation is fast and smooth via the top slide.

Handle: Made from layered G-Mascus G10 the handle is lightweight, durable, and weather resistant with honeycomb milling for solid traction and visual appeal. The unusually angular design provides a secure and comfortable grip in nearly any position for added versatility. Black hardware rounds out the construction.

Carries via a reversible stainless steel deep carry clip.

CPM-S30V: A PM stainless steel developed specifically for use in knife blades, S30V has good wear resistance (edge retention) and corrosion resistance, better than 440C or 420HC. The powdered process refines the grain, improving performance for a balanced blade steel. Toughness is comparable to other PM stainless steels.
