Hogue Expel Fixed Knife Scalpel Orange - High-Visibility for Precision Work - 35874

At Hogue Knives, our engineers are committed to creating purpose-driven solutions that address real challenges encountered by our customers. When avid hunter Lucas Paugh approached Hogue knives president and master tool maker, Jim Bruhns, with a critical issue faced by hunters in the backcountry, it sparked a transformative innovation. Many hunters rely on disposable scalpel blades for efficiency and weight reduction during field dressing. However, these medical tools are not designed for durability in rugged outdoor environments, often resulting in broken blades, bent frames and dangerous accidents. To solve this problem, Hogue Knives developed the Expel, a groundbreaking scalpel design that prioritizes safety and functionality. The Expel is constructed with a 440C stainless steel frame and features removable G10 scales with Peel Ply texture, weighing just 1.4 oz. It is compatible with popular scalpel blades, offering versatility tailored to immediate user needs. The standout feature of the Expel is its dual-function switch mechanism, serving as both a lock and ejector. This mechanism securely holds the blade during use and allows for safe removal without direct contact with the sharp edge. Rigorously tested and endorsed by professional hunters, outfitters and taxidermists, the Expel has proven its reliability in demanding conditions. Every Hogue knife, including the Expel, is proudly manufactured in the USA, backed by three generations of expertise in precision craftsmanship. This commitment ensures that each knife meets the highest standards of quality and performance, reflecting our dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction.
