It features a 3.25 inch clip point blade with a tumbled finish, crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel. The blade is marked ELISHEWITZ over CPM 20CV on the presentation side and HOGUE over USA over DEKA on the reverse. The handle is constructed from solid black G10 with a textured chevron pattern and utilizes the ABLE Lock mechanism with dual thumb studs. It includes a silver-tone pocket clip stamped HOGUE.

The second item is a Hogue A01-MicroSwitch automatic folding knife, model 24116. It is equipped with a 2.75 inch drop point blade featuring a black finish, identified on the packaging as CPM154 stainless steel. The blade is marked ELISHEWITZ over CPM154 over a serial number JMS01846 on one side, with HOGUE over USA over A01-MS on the reverse. The handle is made of matte black 6061-T6 aluminum with ergonomic finger grooves and integrated safety slide. It features a push-button deployment mechanism and a black pocket clip stamped HOGUE. Both knives are accompanied by their original blue factory boxes and black zippered nylon storage pouches.
