At Hogue Knives, our engineers are dedicated to crafting innovative solutions that address the unique challenges faced by our customers. With a focus on meeting the diverse needs of hunters, Jim and Scott Bruhns designed the Extrak, an ultra-lightweight fixed blade knife tailored for the demands of field dressing, especially those requiring extended, precise cuts. The Extrak is crafted from CPM-M4 high vanadium tool steel, known for its edge retention, allowing users to spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. Weighing just 1.9 oz, it features removable G10 scales with Peel Ply texture, ensuring a secure grip and offering the option to reduce overall pack weight. For added protection during storage, both the Extrak and its companion, the Expel, come with nylon blade guards. Trusted by professional hunters, outfitters and taxidermists, the Extrak has undergone rigorous testing to ensure its durability and performance in the field. Every Hogue knife is proudly manufactured in the USA, reflecting our commitment to quality upheld over three generations of expertise in precision craftsmanship.
