When I got bit by this wicked “knife bug” and fell down the rabbit hole a few months ago, I’d stay up half the night looking at knives. The Hogue X5 was one of the first knives I stumbled upon and immediately said “Yep, gotta have one of them”.

It doesn’t appear to be very popular around here, but it tends to be my “go-to” knife for most of my heavier days.

Personally, I really like the ergonomics and the styling. Again, I’m new to all this and just trying to muddle my way through the learning curve...but I suspect that no matter where this journey leads, I’m always gonna have a soft spot for this one.

Nothin’ wrong with a Hogue! Is that a Ti handled version? Or Aluminum?

It’s the aluminum, 3.5” manual version in FDE. I wasn’t aware there was a Ti model.

Overall I’m really happy with it. The clip took some fiddlin’ with....it was originally so tight I don’t think I could’ve gotten a dollar bill behind it, much less the pocket of my cargo shorts.

Lol....and yeah, I still rock the cargo shorts on a daily basis. Hopefully “fashion sense” isn’t a prerequisite around here. If so, I might as well just pack up my bags now.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Hogue I love the two I have and fully intend to add an X5 to the pile as soon as possible.
