  • We're betting that you haven't heard of Hogue Knives. Hogue is known in the gun industry for their superb grips, but they are underrated underdogs in the knife game. Check out their knife lineup here: www.bladehq.co...
    Thanks for watching our Hogue Knives Shop Tour!

    I am a Benchmade fan. I own 13 Benchmade knives and I love them all. I just received my Hogue Deka 24266 today and all I can say is WOW. This is one sweet knife. This is one of the sharpest knives straight out of the box. None of my Benchmade knives have been this sharp. I can not believe how sharp this is. It is the same weight as my Benchmade mini Griptilian. I think I have found my new favorite knife brand.

    Hats off to a true American family run business turned legit powerhouse of high quality goods. God bless America, you guys have so much to be proud of. Respect to Hogue for looking after your people, that's exactly how it should be done. Nice video Zack and crew

    You just have to love a company like Hogue. Big company that treats its employees like family - a rare thing in today's bottom line-obsessed world. Well done!

  • @mikeelek9713
    @mikeelek9713 4 года назад +12

    Hogue Knives are really well made. The designs can be an acquired taste, particularly the modified wharncliffe. Once you hold one, however, you understand the appeal. Plus, they are U.S.-made, which is another plus for me.

    I'm about to buy a Hogue knife from Blade HQ. This video was an excellent look at their manufacturing processes from start to finish. I've worked as a machinist and as an inspector throughout the years, so I found this video really interesting. Nice job all around!

    Never heard of the company
    I get complements every time I carry this knife
    My first Automatic and it is GREAT

  • @MultiFord150
    @MultiFord150 2 года назад +2

    I've been a Benchmade and Spyderco owner for years and absolutely LOVE these knives. However, I just recently purchased a Hogue EX-A01 Automatic Folder: 3.5" Tanto Blade (my first Hogue) and this thing is "Sick". It is the Sharpest knife I've ever owned, straight out of the box. The auto action and overall feel is just awesome. I think I may how found my new EDC.

    I have (almost) all the usual EDC knives, Spyderco, Benchmade, Protech etc. My WIlson Combat EX04 is one of my favorites. This is a serious knife on thick steel, tough as nails, sharp as a razor, smooth as glass. Well done Hogue.

    They seem like a great company. I have their Hogue Ritter RSK MK1 mini and full size knives. I carry the mini all the time at work and it’s a slicing beast. I sent it to their CA location and they sharpened it for me at no charge. For a USA knife made with great materials it is an excellent value. Now I really want to get one of their automatic knives. I couldn’t carry it in the city but it would be awesome anyway.

    I just went to Houge's Pro Shop last week and picked up a FDE Deka Wharncliff Magnacut. Yes I did cut myself playing with the Deka but I feel like that's a right of passage with every new knife. The Deka is lightwight, sharp, left hand freindly and made without any unwanted play. Super freindly people and great products.

    Extra cool now that I may have seen 1 or more of the people that actually made it!!

    I’ll be honest, I don’t care for Hogue Grips. However I am now 100% onboard with supporting their blades. I grew up in San Luis Obispo CA and had no idea they were based in Paso. I also lived in Henderson NV until recently and had no idea they did Autos there. Looks like a great American company with hard workers. Good stuff.

      Brien Berglund I actually really like it. It is pretty hefty, but in a good way. The action is very smooth once you break it in.

    • @max_archer
      @max_archer 6 лет назад +4

      We actually have pretty decent knife laws, considering the state of CA. Folders have to be concealed and fixed blades have to be open carried, and all knives have to be single-edged and not automatic, but beyond that you can carry pretty much whatever you want as long as you're not in a stupid city with its own extra laws. You can also own whatever you want, including autos, balisongs, daggers, etc., but you're not allowed to carry them unless you're LE or have a CCW. (Which are surprisingly easy to get if you're not in one of the big cities.)

    I've been carrying the X-5 for a while now. Love it. They're great if you're into big knives. Very satisfying flipper. I wish more knives had push button locks. I prefer the design of the EX-3 but the blade steel is only 154CM.

    • @TheSpotlessMind93
      @TheSpotlessMind93 6 лет назад

      K B It's not bad, but it's not as good as the blade steels that have come out since then. With the X-05 and X-1 Micro, Hogue has upgraded to CPM 154.

    I am homeless, so i was just looking at videos to learn new things.
    I saw a couple of ur vids.
    Then did more looking. Started thinking of buying a knife 😆😆😆, then looked at Kershaw, microtech?, And this company.
    Because of this video, i will buy a knife.
    I don't really need one, but its the end of covid and the middle of the Ukraine war.
    Im kind of emotional, and i want to help an American company.
    Its a win win. I get something with hands on workmanship by us, a piece of useful art 😆( haven't needed a knife in all the years i been homeless, box cutter is what i use) so a piece of art.
    And i support our economy in some way, albeit a very small way. 😊
    God bless you for starting me on this RUclips worm hole.
    Its kept me busy for many hours.

      Might sell my knives, which I was putting away for nieces college.
