The Hoglet is a compact fixed blade knife with a cleaver style blade. We used cryogenic D2 steel with full tang construction creating a tough, strong fixed blade in a small package. The Hoglet is designed for anyone who wants to carry a fixed blade as their EDC (everyday carry). It's also a perfect tool to use at your campsite and makes an excellent food prep kitchen knife. We used G10 scales for durability and strength with an ergonomic handle, plenty of finger guard, and most large hands will get a solid four finger grip. Once you take hold of the Hoglet, your hand will lock into the comfortable "S" curve design, your thumb will land on the generous jimping, and you'll be ready to cut till' the cows come home. The Hoglet comes with a secure Kydex sheath with the Off-Grid Quick-Clip belt attachment, vertical or horizontal carry. We also made the sheath compatible with the Tek-Lok Belt System. If you're looking for an overbuilt, hard-use, fat belly fixed blade in a tight versatile package, you found it in the Hoglet.
What can we say? Off-Grid loves cleavers and fat belly blades, and the Hoglet is no exception. This chubby 'little' guy was born to cut all day long, and our D2 will stay sharp even with tons of hard-use. We cryogenically treated the D2 which enhances the excellent characteristics in D2 steel such as: durability, toughness, edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. The blackout version has a tumbled blackwash finish with a Titanium Nitride Coating.
The Hoglet has excellent ergonomics offering an extremely comfortable and safe grip whether you're sharpening a stick, or cutting into your steak dinner. The handle fills your hand with a confident four finger grip, palm swell and grippy no-slip jimping exactly where you need it, directly under your thumb for maximum leverage. Feeling sassy? Drop a lanyard on it.
Sometimes you get the hankering to carry a fixed blade as you head out for the day, but you don't want to scare the town liberals with your massive Alpha-Dog. The remedy is the Hoglet, it will handle your daily chores and you'll barely notice it's riding on your belt, a true EDC friendly fixed blade knife.
The Hoglet is perfect for your camp kitchen and adding some outdoor flavor inside your home kitchen. The cleaver blade is an excellent mini-chopper & slicer...if you're throwing a party, the Hoglet will be the coolest pizza cutter this side of Texas.
The Hoglet is secured with perfect retention inside the Kydex sheath. Excellent security, no movement, no rattle, your blade is safe, secure and ready for your next road trip. When you're on the move, and you need the Hoglet at the ready, slide the Quick-Clip over your belt and you're good to go. (You also have the option of scout carry.) If you want to switch it up, the sheath is compatible with the Tek-Lok belt system.
