The Hogue Expel 35836 delivers precision cutting performance in a compact folding design built for demanding applications. This tactical folder combines high carbon steel blade technology with advanced G10 handle construction for reliable everyday carry performance.

What Makes This Different

The Expel series features Hogue's precision-ground high carbon steel blade that maintains edge retention significantly longer than standard stainless alternatives. The 2.50-inch blade length provides optimal cutting capacity while remaining compact enough for discreet carry. Black textured G10 scales bonded to stainless steel liners create a handle system that resists moisture, chemicals, and temperature extremes better than traditional materials.
