Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material
Cons: Weight
Bugout competitor or better
I've heard Hogue's supplier for springs are renound after working in the firearms industry so I have high hopes their springs will last better and longer then the Bugout or other similar locking styles. The gen 2 pocket clip and changes are welcome and the thinness of the blade, the blade shape and the weight and g10 scales are a great welcome edition and its 20cv! This is a huge bargain and it is really growing on me.

Great Blade W/ Terrible Features & Bad Customer Service
The pocket clip currently displayed on the photos now is not the one that I got on my knife, nor can you get a deep carry pocket clip for the Deka on the Hogue website. I've ordered 2 replacements, both costing $40 w/ shipping cost, for my original pocket clip due to the original breaking off. The 1st replacement broke off AGAIN after snatching on a door hinge, and the 2nd pocket clip scraped the handle material, and caused the cap of a screw to completely break off, making it so that I can't install a new one. The blade itself, the opening mechanism are all awesome and I really did like using it at work, but for such an absurdly expensive knife to come with a 2 cent pocket clip that has broken the whole knife really is something that I just can't get over. I haven't had this problem even with $30 CRKT knives or any other knife company. I have emailed Hogue to see if I could purchase a replacement side for the handle that is ruined as well as a deep carry pocket clip, and they have so far not gotten back to me. Hopefully I will come back to this and rate it a 5 star if the deep carry pocket clip has no issues and I can get a replacement handle.
