NEW Expel & Extrak Hunting Field Knives

Hogue Extrak Fixed Blade Knife

 

HENDERSON, NV – The engineers at Hogue Knives strive to create solutions by design, and to overcome obstacles that challenge their customers in the midst of specialized pursuits. For this project, an avid hunter named Lucas Paugh approached Hogue Knives President and Master Tool Maker, Jim Bruhns, with a serious problem that hunters face in the backcountry. In order to increase efficiency and reduce pack weight, hunters have turned to utilizing disposable scalpel blades to break down an animal. However, these medical instruments were not built to last. Blades can break off, frames can bend, and as a result, many hunters share the dangerous experience of cutting themselves in the backcountry. This prevalent issue birthed the innovation of the Expel™, a revolutionary scalpel design that enables the end user to safely use and remove the surgical blade without fear of injury.

 

The Expel is built upon a 440C stainless steel frame and features removable G10 scales with Peel Ply texture. It weighs a mere 1.4 ounces and is compatible with Havalon style blades, boasting versatility based on the immediate needs of the user. The key feature to the Expel’s design is its dual-function switch mechanism. The switch acts as both a lock and ejector, completely securing the blade in place when in use and also allowing the user to effortlessly doff the blade without making contact with the sharp edge.

With the variable needs of the hunter at the forefront of this project, Jim and Scott Bruhns also created an ultra-lightweight, fixed blade knife to conquer the aspects of field dressing that require longer, deeper cuts. The Extrak™ is comprised of CPM M4 high vanadium tool steel that allows more time to be spent under the knife and less time sharpening. It weighs 1.9 ounces and also features removable G10 scales with Peel Ply texture. This enables proper gription and gives the user the option to further
reduce overall pack weight. Both the Extrak and the Expel are included with nylon blade guards for added protection when stowed.
