Hogue X1 MicroFlip Black Cerakote Drop Point FDE Aluminum Button Lock Flipper 24177

The Hogue X1 MicroFlip is the manual counterpart to the A01 MicroSwitch. It offers the same solid performance and compact platform with manual flipper deployment. Premium materials paired with precision American manufacturing make the MicroFlip an excellent daily carry choice. This version comes with a black Cerakote coated CPM-154 drop point blade and matte FDE (flat dark earth) aluminum handles. Brand new, direct from Hogue Knives. Blade: With a long spine swedge and hollow grind the drop point blade offers powerful performance with a more permissible sub-3 inch blade length. The blade snaps to action via the index flipper which offers a prominent guard for added safety. Coated with durable black Cerakote the CPM-154 stainless steel blade is discreetly non-reflective. Handle: Slabs of hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum joined by a solid back spacer form the rock solid compact handle. Jimping and milled grooves provide plenty of traction with a deep index choil for control and security. Backed by a slide safety the button lock delivers reliable lockup for safe use and smooth operation. The pommel end is tapered for impact use while the spacer, filler tab, and clip are finished to match the blade. Carries via a reversible stainless steel pocket clip. CPM-154: A particle metallurgy (PM) version of Crucible 154CM that benefits from the refinement in the PM process. A great all-around blade steel, CPM-154 has D2 level edge retention, AEB-L level corrosion resistance and comparable toughness to other PM stainless steels with ease of sharpening/finishing.
