Hogue X5 3.5" Folder Tumbled Blue

The Hogue X5 3.5" Folder with tumbled blue finish is a compact flipper-action folding knife built for everyday carry and field work. Featuring a 3.5-inch spear point blade with tumbled finish and blue 6061-T6 hard anodized aluminum scales, this folder combines lightweight construction with the quick-deploy reliability that tactical professionals and outdoor enthusiasts expect from a serious EDC tool.

The X5's push-button lock with manual safety provides immediate blade deployment while preventing accidental closure during use—a critical feature when cutting cordage, equipment, or working in high-stress situations. The spear point geometry delivers a sharp, controlled tip ideal for precision cuts without excessive width at the base, maximizing edge retention across the blade's working length. Tip-up deep pocket carry with an integrated filler plate keeps the knife secure and accessible, while the lanyard hole permits attachment to gear or a safety line for water-based operations or rescue work.

This folding knife suits field technicians, emergency responders, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who demands a blade that deploys instantly and holds position under load. The tumbled blue aluminum scales offer corrosion resistance in humid or salt-air environments while providing confident grip texture without aggressive sharp edges. At 0.44 lbs, the overall weight remains low enough for extended carry without fatigue, making it practical for all-day tactical operations, camping expeditions, or daily professional use.
