Product Description
The Hogue A01-MicroSwitch is a compact automatic folder built for everyday carry, combining a premium CPM 154 stainless steel Wharncliffe blade with a lightweight, durable aluminum frame.
Its 2.75-inch Wharncliffe blade features a stone-tumbled finish, hollow grind, and hand-honed edge. The CPM 154 steel is cryogenically heat treated to 57–59 HRC, providing a balanced combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
The automatic button deployment mechanism provides quick one-handed opening, while an integrated manual safety helps prevent unintended deployment. The matte black 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum frame keeps the knife lightweight and durable.
A reversible pocket clip allows right- or left-handed, tip-up carry, and the impact pommel adds another practical element to the compact design.
