Hogue Exploit OTF Automatic 3.5" Tanto Blade Black PVD Tritium Trigger Knife

The Hogue Exploit OTF Automatic delivers tactical performance in a rugged, purpose-built design. Featuring a 3.5-inch tanto blade crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel, this knife offers outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade is cryogenically heat treated to a hardness of 58–61 HRC, hand-honed, and finished in a low-reflective black PVD coating for stealth and durability.

Engineered with a double-action, out-the-front mechanism, the Exploit enables rapid deployment and retraction using an ambidextrous Tritium-infused trigger from Glow Rhino™, making it intuitive to locate even in low-light or no-light conditions. The precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum frame, finished in matte black hard anodizing, balances strength and lightweight control for hard-use functionality.
