Hogue X5 3.5" Spear Pnt Blk/blk G10

The Hogue X5 3.5" Spear Point Black/Black G10 is a mid-sized tactical flipper knife engineered for operators, law enforcement, and field professionals who demand reliable blade deployment and secure retention. Built around a 3.5-inch spear-point blade with black cerakote finish, this knife balances edge geometry for general cutting tasks with a profile that works equally well for utility cuts or defensive applications. The spear point design provides a strong, symmetrical tip with belly suitable for slicing without the aggressive tip geometry that limits material penetration in certain scenarios.

Construction centers on matte black 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum scales paired with black G-Mascus® G10 inserts, delivering a corrosion-resistant frame that resists salt spray and environmental degradation while maintaining grip texture under stress. The ambidextrous design accommodates both right and left-handed deployment. The push-button lock mechanism includes manual safety override—a feature valued in duty carry where accidental deployment poses liability. Tip-up deep pocket carry configuration with filler plate ensures the knife remains discrete while accessible, and the lanyard hole provides secondary retention for operators conducting water operations, fast-rope insertions, or other high-movement scenarios where gear loss creates mission risk.

This knife class suits patrol officers, SAR technicians, outdoor professionals, and serious sport knife users who carry in moderate-threat or utility-focused environments. The 3.5-inch blade length complies with most state knife laws while offering practical reach for field tasks. Stainless steel construction of the blade and lock mechanism minimizes maintenance in field environments where cleaning opportunities are limited. The X5's balanced handle-to-blade ratio and pocket-carry footprint make it a logical complement to fixed-blade systems already in a tactical loadout.
