The company launched its knife line in the 2010s and created the Deka to mark a decade of knifemaking, teaming up with custom knifemaker and former Recon Marine Allen Elishewitz on the design. Every Deka is machined and assembled in the USA. Gear reviewers have been unusually enthusiastic about this version, with one calling the Deka in MagnaCut one of the best knife values of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnaCut Steel \u0026amp; the ABLE Lock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel developed by metallurgist Larrin Thomas and produced by Crucible Industries. It is prized because it combines the rust resistance of a stainless steel with the toughness and edge holding normally found in carbon steels. Hogue cryogenically treats the blades to 60 to 62 HRC, gives them a flat grind, and hand hones each edge. The ABLE Lock, short for Ambidextrous Bar Lock Enhanced, is a sliding bar lock tensioned by Wolff omega springs that locks the blade solidly open and lets either hand close it with a thumb. Ambidextrous thumb studs, a crosshatch-textured Nylon 12 handle, a lanyard hole, and a deep carry stainless clip that switches for left or right-hand tip-up carry round out the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Your Pocket Every Day\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 2.1 ounces, the Deka disappears in a pocket but handles the work most people actually do with a knife: breaking down boxes, cutting zip ties and cord, opening feed bags, trimming fishing line, and prepping food at camp. MagnaCut's stain resistance makes it a good fit for anglers, boaters, and anyone carrying in humid weather or sweaty work conditions. The polymer handle shrugs off grease, water, and drops in a way that metal or wood handles do not. At around $150, it brings a premium steel and a smooth, proven lock to a price that usually buys budget steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose Your Deka\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe clip point is the all-purpose shape, with a fine tip for detail work and a belly for slicing. The Wharncliffe has a straight edge and a reinforced point that excel at controlled utility cuts like opening packages and scoring materials. The black Cerakote finish reduces glare and adds a layer of protection, while the tumbled finish has a matte, satin-gray look that hides scratches from daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hogue","offers":[{"title":"Tumbled \/ Black Polymer","offer_id":67109955207409,"sku":"67109955207409","price":157.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Black Polymer","offer_id":67109955240177,"sku":"67109955240177","price":166.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CPM Magnacut \/ Black \/ FDE Polymer","offer_id":67109955272945,"sku":"67109955272945","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CPM Magnacut \/ Wharncliffe \/ Black \/ FDE Polymer","offer_id":67109955305713,"sku":"67109955305713","price":167.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/DekaABLELockBlack1FINAL.jpg?v=1790960295","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/deka-able-lock-knives","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
