Design & Materials
The HOGUE X1 uses CMP154 stainless steel for the blade — a premium martensitic stainless alloy noted for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance compared with typical stainless offerings. The wharnecliffe blade geometry concentrates cutting force toward the tip and provides a full-flat cutting edge that’s easy to sharpen and control during precise tasks. The button lock paired with a flipper gives fast one-handed deployment and secure retention when you need confidence in lockup.
Ergonomics & Carry
The 6061T6 anodized aluminum handle offers a balance of light weight and structural strength. The black finish on the handle maintains a low profile for tactical carry while resisting wear. An ambidextrous pocket clip allows tip-up or tip-down placement depending on personal draw preference and hand orientation, making this model suitable for both right- and left-handed users. As a compact folder, it’s ideal for daily carry, field use, or as a backup tool for security professionals.
