Hogue /Sig Sauer 'K320' Knife Review - The King of All Axis-Style Locks?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- We are taking a look at yet another knife which uses the bar-lock type system invented by Benchmade with their "Axis Lock". Some say that Hogue does their "Able Lock" version best of all the companies who use it. What do you think?
In this video, we look at the lock, the size, the materials, the fit and finish and the ergonomics of this beast. Thank you again to "SOBX Scooter" for loaning me this knife for the channel to experience. It has been an enjoyable couple weeks getting to know it.
Feel free to share your experiences with this knife or questions about it in the comments below. I will do my best to answer as quickly and accurately as possible.
Aaaand, I just realized I forgot to cut in the b-roll of me using this knife... 🤬🤬🤬
Stay well. GG...out.

Cheers 🍻 brother SOBX Scooter for loan and thanks brother 😠 Grunt for reviewing such a wonderful knife 🔪.
Thank you for watching too, brother Marcos!
Thanks to SOBX Scooter for the look see. Great looking knife and one I'd definatly like to get my hands on this year. Just going to decide on which Hogue I like the best as all their knives look awesome lol. Thanks for the great vid Grumpy and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
Thanks for stopping by, Todd! I hope you find the right Hogue for you. There are some really good options. Stay well up there, brother.
Another great video grump! I love how your finding a rhythm with theses! Really enjoying the flow!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for your input, brother. Have a great week down there.
Damn, some really good ones in here. Also, looks like a great knife and definitely vicariously fun to experience! Thanks, Grumpy 👊
This is one I think your Ninja mitts would enjoy, if you haven't found a way to put one in them yet. I hope you have a splendid weekend, brother. Stay well.
Sweet! This knife definitely has peaked my interest. Thanks for taking a look at it Grumpy.
No problem, Kwilin! If you get one, let me know what you think.
I'm glad you liked it! It definitely has me wanting more Hogue knives 🤗
I also put the Deka on my list as well. The only thing I really do not like about Hogue's Able Lock knives is that machining on the interfaces. It's not as bad on this one as it is Terry's Deka, but those 3 C-shaped divots around the thumb stud and barlock interface eat away at the callous on my thumb. That doesn't diminish what great knives they both are. Have a great weekend, brother.
Nice of Scooter to lend you that. Another good, Made In USA Hogue.
Happy Easter, Grumpy!
It was! It has been a nice one to have around to compare to all the more Bugout-ish style Axis locks. This one is a special kind of beast. Happy Easter, Dave. Stay well over there.
Yeah buddy! I really need to get this one. I have the sig sauer P320 pew pew, so it needs its sidekick. Love that Sig & Hogue made a knife to be paired with the pistol.
They were thinking, for sure. Have a great weekend, brother.
Kool knife GG…I like this model in Tanto & even more that it’s a Hogue🇺🇸! Just haven’t found the need yet but I wil. Thx for your input on it!💯👊🏼
It's a nice worker. If I end up with one, I can send it your way to check out anytime, brother. Stay well out there and have a great Easter weekend. 👊
It's definitely pretty cool! houge seems to have some great knives. Great video brother 👍
It isn't perfect, but I think I have a fix for one of my biggest issues with it. We'll see if I get one. Thanks for watching, brother. have a great week.
Good day !!! I like the size of this one! It might be a little more expensive but then again.....quality
I agree! It is amazing quality and 100% made right here. Hogue does a spectacular job on this one. You can also find them used on the secondary for under $100 sometimes too. Have a great weekend.
Hey Grumpy Grunt! Thanks for the video! Gonna go check out that knife at EDC Specialties tomorrow!!!
Right on. Let me know what you think of it after you do! Have a great weekend/Easter, brother.
Happy Easter to all! 🌷🕊️
Blessings,
Washington State❤️
Same to you! Have a great weekend, Heidi!
Awesome
Thanks, Dave! Happy Easter, brother.
Nice review, nice knfe
Thanks 👍It's been a nice one to have around while I evaluate it. Have a great weekend.
Love that bay boy, as well as the solaris.
I'll have both one day.
Those are two great knives, in my opinion. Both very capable as well as fun and easy to use. Have a great weekend, brother.
Sig Sauer!! Nice knife 👍And the new Thumb up animation is awesome!! Try it!?!
Hogue and Sig joined forces to knock this one out of the park. A couple small tweaks and it would be even better. Animation? I haven't seen it. 👍🤔 Have a great weekend, guys!
Looks like a good quality knife!!!
This one feels like it could take a beating. I hope you are well, brother Gruggs. Have a great weekend.
Cool fixed blade 👍🏻 I think I need one for the collect
Thanks, Mike. It's a lot of great aspects of a knife wrapped up in one knife. Have a great weekend, brother.
My buddy skippy has the new Carbon fiber in 20cv with the blue hardware. They have a deka version as well. It's a beautiful version of both knifes but I feel as if they should have went with m4 or magnacut for the k320 instead of 20cv. 20cv just isn't cutting it with me as far as a hard use knife steel is concerned.
If you are wearing out 20cv, you probably aren't going to be happy with MagnaCut either. My limited experiences with both have been extremely comparable as far as edge retention. In fact, if I were being more scientific about it, I would probably see the 20cv with a slight edge in retention. I am pretty happy with both for my uses, personally. I hope the MagnaCut model gets you to where you want to be.
@@GrumpyGrunt yeah I haven't tried out magnacut as of yet but I think you're right, I haven't really heard anything too promising about it yet, then again it's still pretty new so idk. I really wish more manufacturers would use rex45 more often, I can't tell you how great of an experience I had with rex45, spyderco's heat treatment for this steel has proven itself to be great as far as I'm concerned. It actually has better cutting performance then my delica k390.
@@jimmycricket7946 REX45 and M4 will treat you about identically in terms of toughness and edge retention, from my experience. Both great steels, but neither is stainless. Personally, I want stainless in my folders and it doesn't matter in my fixed blades. My Shaman in M4 worries me that it's rusting inside the pivot, so it is always dripping oil like an AMF Harley. 🤣
Have you tried out their S90V on a knife yet? It's probably my favorite steel on ANY knife I have found of any brand. It could be another great option for you with regard to stainless with great edge retention. I have a Lil Native in S90V that just won't quit for such a small knife.
@@GrumpyGrunt I'm ok as far as rust because I live in the desert so corrosion resistance isn't really a concern for me. Although I did have 3v on a fixed blade rust on me and it was Pitting rust so I wasn't able to clean it up. 4V and rex45 have been my favorite steel's so far and try to maintain them with a thin layer of silicon oil just in case. But to be honest I haven't tried out S90V as of yet, I do have a Pm3 in s110v but have yet to put it to use. I heard from alote of people that s90v is actually better. Problem is availability. I'll probably pick up a benchmade bugout at some point in s90v. I definitely want to try it out!! Have you tried maxamet yet? Seems some people really love and others not so much.
@@jimmycricket7946 S90V is better than S110V for me. It's got almost the edge retention with a lot more toughness. I had the Manix 2 in S110V. Loved it and kept it stropped so I didn't have to sharpen it. I'd heard the nightmares about how picky it is to sharpen. I also had the Manix 2 LW in SPY27. Loved the steel but hated the LW platform on that model.
I had a Maxamet PM2. Very cool steel, but neither the PM2 platform nor the Maxamet were really for me. I don't need steel with that kind of edge retention at this point in my life. I have the Para3 in S45VN now and it's great.
Rewrote this a few times and just can't articulate my thoughts. Have 3 Hogues, favourite company, just don't think one has a spot in my collection. Thanks Grumpy!
I have some gripes with the Deka coming up, but it's still a good knife. I like this one more and it is definitely one I will own at some point. The Deka is off and on again. Sorry to hear they didn't hit for you, brother. This one feels so similar to the Shaman to me, I figured you would like it too. Have a great weekend, brother.
@@GrumpyGrunt Yeah it's mainly the design and size of the hole, and placement of the textured areas, would probably have me reaching for another one of my Hogues or my Shaman, before this one.🤷♂️
The Shaman is hard to beat. That's one of the 💩things about running a channel: you don't usually get to choose your carry. At least not all of it. There are too many knives starting to stack up and content with them. So, I've had Terry's Shaman put away for about a week now because I wanted to carry nothing else.
When I get one of these, I think I have a fix for the weird flipper hole issue. We'll see. Stay well, brother MiMo.
