Reviews & Ratings for Hogue X5 Sig Folding Knife — 6 reviews — Page 1

Hogue makes a solid flipper. The action on this is very responsive, and once opened, tolerances are nice and snug. Very little blade play. The unique blade shape gives a nice cutting angle, with the long straight edge razor sharp out of the box. I actually bought this to replace the 4" version I lost (sad day!) but it speaks to how well the knife worked as an EDC that I couldn't resist getting another.

I got this knife after about a month of waiting but it was well worth the wait. This was a hard to find knife to add to my collection. Luckily Optics had it, but it must have been a back-order or in back of the warehouse. Knife came in great shape, but box had shown its age. A parts functioed and I rotate in my daily carry when out and about. The look is cool, intimidating and colorfully impressive. I have its regular sibling as well.

After having used this knife for 5 weeks now I have found the blade to be quite sharp and sturdy. Unfortunately the pocket clip broke when it snagged on something while I was getting out of my car during the first few weeks. There was a spare (very scratched up) pocket clip included with the knife which I have installed but it's orientation is flipped for carrying in the left pocket. While changing out the pocket clip I decided to make sure all the screws were still snug (as it recommends in the owners manual) and discovered the bottom-most screw on the backside of the handle was not secure. It was slightly shorter than the other screws and barely able to grab any threaded material. I have applied some threadlocker and it appears to be staying in place at least for now.

I love the look and feel of the knife and have been satisfied with the blade. I am saddened, however, that the pocket clip breaks so easily and more so that I got a sub-par quality knife with a screw that won't hold.
This is my first Hogue knife and I expected quality given the reputation and the price tag. Sadly, it has been a bitter first impression.

Amazing knife!! Looks great with my Sig collection. Extremely sharp and well made. The knife is gorgeous and the price was by far better than any other site! Love this site! Great thing about this gorgeous knife is that it's American made!

I order this knife on appearance. When it arrived the first thing i noticed was the weight, it is got a little heft to it and gives the a feeling that it will be able to take the abuse i will most definitely be putting it through
