This item is not currently in stock. Preorders will ship after the official Hogue release and once inventory is received by Knife Depot.
The Hogue Micro Counterstrike brings the performance of Hogue's Counterstrike OTF platform into an exceptionally compact and lightweight design. This new Slate Blue colorway combines a precision-machined aluminum chassis with a Polyamide Nylon 12 glass-fiber-reinforced polymer cover and a premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade.
The Micro Counterstrike features a 1.95" double-edge blade with your choice of 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 only 1.8 ounces, the Micro Counterstrike is remarkably lightweight. Its 6061-T6 anodized aluminum chassis features an ornate milling pattern, while the Slate Blue polymer cover adds a distinctive look and comfortable grip.
The double-action OTF automatic mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract using the same automatic trigger. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip provides convenient tip-down carry for either right- or left-handed users.
