Description

The HOG EX-03 3.5" Drop Point Folding Knife delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact tactical package. This black-finished folder combines a practical drop point blade geometry with secure locking mechanisms for everyday carry and field applications.

What Makes This Different

The EX-03 features a drop point blade profile that maximizes cutting surface while maintaining excellent tip control for precision tasks. The 3.5-inch blade length provides optimal balance between cutting capability and portability, making it more versatile than shorter utility knives while remaining legal in most jurisdictions. The black coating enhances corrosion resistance and reduces glare in tactical situations.
