Product Description
PREORDER – RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 9, 2026 AT 9:00 AM PT
This is a preorder for the new Hogue Micro Counterstrike. Hogue is scheduled to release these new colorways at Blade Show West on October 9, 2026. Orders will ship once inventory is received.
The Hogue Micro Counterstrike brings the performance and functionality of Hogue's popular Counterstrike OTF platform into an incredibly compact package. Designed by Bruhns Design and proudly made in the USA, this new Micro Counterstrike combines a lightweight aluminum chassis, reinforced polymer cover and premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel in a remarkably compact double-action OTF automatic knife.
This new Olive Drab Green colorway features a 1.95" double-edge blade available with either a stone-tumbled or black stonewash finish. The CPM MagnaCut blade is cryogenically heat treated to 62–64 HRC and hand sharpened and honed for a keen cutting edge.
At just 1.8 ounces, the Micro Counterstrike is designed for lightweight everyday carry. The 6061-T6 anodized aluminum chassis features an ornate milling pattern, while the Polyamide Nylon 12 glass-fiber-reinforced polymer cover provides additional texture and visual appeal.
A double-action automatic trigger allows the blade to deploy and retract from the front with the push of the trigger. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip provides convenient right- or left-hand, tip-down carry.
