Two Hogue Allen Elishewitz Design Folding Knives Including Deka Manual and A01-MicroSwitch Automatic
Description
This lot features two premium folding knives from Hogue, both designed by custom knifemaker Allen Elishewitz and manufactured in the United States. The first item is a Deka manual folding pocket knife. It features a 3.25 inch clip point blade crafted from CPM 20CV stainless steel with a stonewashed tumbled finish. The blade is marked on one side with HOGUE USA DEKA and on the reverse with ELISHEWITZ CPM 20CV. The handle is constructed from black G10 with a textured chevron pattern and utilizes the ABLE Lock crossbar mechanism. It includes a stainless steel pocket clip marked HOGUE. The second item is an A01-MicroSwitch automatic folding knife. This model features a 2.75 inch drop point blade with a black finish, made from CPM 154 stainless steel. The blade markings read HOGUE USA A01-MS on the primary side and ELISHEWITZ CPM 154 along with a serial number JMS01846 on the reverse. The handle is matte black 6061-T6 aluminum with a push-button deployment and integrated sliding safety lock. Each knife is accompanied by its original factory box and a black nylon zipper storage pouch embroidered with the Hogue logo. The box for the Deka is labeled 24279 – Deka / 3.25″ ABLE Lock Folder / Clip Point – Tumbled Finish / Solid Black G10 Frame. The MicroSwitch box is labeled 24116 A01-MicroSwitch / 2.75″ Drop Point Black Finish / CPM 154 Stainless Steel / Matte Black Aluminum.
Condition report:
Both knives are in excellent, like-new condition. The Deka manual folder shows no signs of carry or use, with the tumbled finish on the CPM 20CV blade and the G10 handle scales appearing factory-fresh as seen in photos 2 and 3. The A01-MicroSwitch automatic folder also displays an intact black finish on both the CPM 154 blade and the aluminum handle, with no visible edge wear, scuffing, or deployment marks in photos 4 and 5. The original boxes and nylon pouches are well-preserved with only minor shelf wear to the cardboard packaging (photo 1).
