The Hogue 35869 Extrak delivers professional-grade cutting performance with its CPM M4 tool steel construction and tactical design. This fixed blade knife combines premium materials with practical engineering for demanding field applications. The black Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-profile appearance.
What Makes This Different
CPM M4 tool steel sets this knife apart from standard carbon steel alternatives, offering exceptional edge retention and toughness ratings that exceed most field knives. The powdered metallurgy construction creates a more uniform grain structure, resulting in consistent performance across the entire blade. Black Cerakote coating adds 50% more corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes while reducing glare and maintaining durability through extended use.
Key Features
