Brand new, direct from Hogue Knives.

Blade: With a high saber grind and pronounced American Tanto profile the 154CM blade delivers solid strength with good daily use performance. The forward edge of the Tanto pierces with ease and is ideal for flat surface work while the plain primary edge handles a wide range of tasks with ease. Automatic deployment is fast, smooth, and reliable while the stonewashed finish hides wear from use.

Handle: Hard anodized aluminum slabs are chamfered for comfort and milled with grooves for traction. A pommel hook and forward guard lock the knife in hand while the smooth operating button lock provides rock solid reliability and safe use backed by a slide safety for added security in carry. The louvred clip design adds traction for positive draw without added drag in pocket transition.

Carries via a reversible stainless steel deep carry clip.

Crucible 154CM: Originally developed as a stainless bearing steel, 154CM is an improved version of 440C with added molybdenum that offers improved resistance to pitting from corrosion and higher hardness for better edge retention. Similar to Hitachi ATS-34.
