Hogue Fray Tactical Fixed Blade Knife - 4.20" CPM-154 Black Cerakote Partially Serrated Tanto Blade - Black Textured Rubber Overmold Handle (55349)
Product Description
Purpose-built for tactical operators, first responders, and military personnel who demand a lightweight, heavy-duty cutting tool engineered to perform under extreme stress, the Hogue Fray (55349) combines high-performance American steel with Hogue's world-renowned grip ergonomics. Designed in collaboration with custom knifemaker Allen Elishewitz and proudly issued to U.S. military personnel, the Fray delivers uncompromising full-tang strength without adding unnecessary bulk to a battle belt or plate carrier.
The business end of the Fray features a 4.20-inch American Tanto blade forged from premium CPM-154 powder metallurgy stainless steel. Cryogenically heat-treated to 57-59 HRC, CPM-154 delivers an exceptional balance of edge longevity, micro-grain toughness, and high corrosion defense. The aggressive Tanto geometry provides an extra-strong tip for intense piercing tasks, paired with a partially serrated cutting edge that effortlessly tears through fibrous materials like seatbelts, nylon webbing, and heavy rope. The entire steel frame is finished in a non-reflective, highly durable Black Armor Cerakote coating that eliminates glare, guards against environmental wear, and resists chemical exposure.
For an unshakeable purchase in any tactical environment, the full-tang chassis is fitted with Hogue's signature black hybrid rubber overmolded handles featuring deep chevron texturing. The impact-resistant rubber grip absorbs shock and channels away water, oil, and sweat to maintain total control in wet, freezing, or glove-on conditions. Accompanied by a custom molded black glass-reinforced polymer sheath with a secondary locking safety lever and versatile mounting hardware, the USA-made Hogue Fray 55349 stands as a zero-fail primary asset for mission-critical operations.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
Forged from CPM-154 stainless steel and protected by a hard Black Armor Cerakote finish, the Hogue Fray offers outstanding resistance against rust, field moisture, and corrosion. While CPM-154 requires minimal anti-corrosion maintenance, keeping the partially serrated edge clean and dry after processing tough or fibrous materials ensures long-term cutting performance. The rubberized overmold handles can be easily scrubbed clean with warm water and mild soap if field oils or grease build up over time. Periodically check the sheath lock mechanism to ensure smooth, click-in retention and instant deployment.
