Description:
The Hogue Deka is a top-tier EDC knife designed by Allen Elishewitz. It's lightweight, tough, well-made, and easy to use with one hand. It features the ABLE-Lock, which you can access from either side of the knife; couple that with its reversible pocket clip and you're looking at a fully ambidextrous folder. The Deka is a rich pocket knife, like a chocolate cake is rich: there's so much chocolate goodness in so little space—or in this case, cutlery goodness. It has a G-10 handle, minimal steel liners to support the lock, and a CPM 20CV super steel blade. The cherry on top of this proverbial cake is the knife's price point. The Hogue Deka is a knife you can afford to put in your pocket, and one you'll find every occasion to take out and use. It promises to perform well and stand the test of time.

Awesome steel, awesome build, rock solid, silky smooth action. ABLE lock is a thing of beauty. Excellent Excellent knife! I'll be buying several more. Don't even think about it just buy it! I'm looking forward to the new MAGNACUT variation!
I've been waiting for this model for a long time, and then when I found out they were making a modified wharncliffe version, every other potential knife purchase became secondary. It fits so well in your hand; the grooves in the handle are subtle but effective. The lock up inspires confidence - no blade play in any direction. The edge bevel has a mirror polish: kudos to that. All opening methods are very smooth as well. The only two nitpicks (not worth rating it 4 stars though) is that when disengaging the ABLE lock, it is a bit sticky. I've used different lubricating oils to no avail. The other is there is no deep carry pocket clip. However, MXG gear has a custom deep carry clip for the ZT 0450 that fits this perfectly from what I've seen online.
