Blade Finish : |
Stonewashed ![Stonewashing creates a distressed look on the knife blade by literally distressing the blade using friction. The technique comes from its name, as it involves running a knife blade through the dryer with small stones and a lubricant to create abrasions on the face of the blade. A very positive benefit of stonewashed blades/handles is that they are low maintenance and preserve their original look overtime; the stonewashed finish hides the scratches that can occur with use over time.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Blade Treatment : |
Cryogenically Treated ![Cryogenic treatment is a common process designed to enhance the performance of metal blades. Extreme deep freezing increases the service life of knives by improving their resistance to wear. As a one-time treatment, freezing knife blades makes them more durable and less prone to chipping and fracturing under stress. A cryogenic treatment is the process of treating workpieces to cryogenic temperatures (i.e. below −190 °C (−310 °F)) in order to remove residual stresses and improve wear resistance in steels and other metal alloys, such as aluminum. This treatment type will slightly increase the price of the knife but the value it provides far outweighs the cost.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |
Handle Material : |
G10 ![Unlike more traditional knife handle materials, G-10 won't crack, break, chip, or scratch easily. G10 is a versatile material that was originally used for printed circuit boards due to its high-temperature durability and non-conductive properties. It was later discovered to be a great material for knife handles and even gun grips due to its moisture-resistant characteristics. G10 handles are very durable with a very high level of strength, meaning they will last for a very long time even under heavy use in both wet and dry conditions. G10 is also commonly used for underwater applications due to its strength, durability, and highly water-resistant properties. It is also non-flammable & non-conductive. G-10 is the designation for a glass-based epoxy resin laminate. What that means is that you take a glass-based cloth (fiberglass, in other words), soak it in an epoxy resin, and then using heat and pressure compress it into the shape you want.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Allen Elishewitz ![Allen Elishewitz has been making knives since 1988. He makes custom watches and pens as well. He has been practicing martial arts over the last 30 years and served with the 4th Recon C Company. He was exposed to various art forms at a young age;has a Bachelor Degree in Criminal Justice, and a Associate Degree in Fine Arts. His background in martial arts, recon, and visual arts are evident in his knives. All his knives are hand-made using only manual machines. Each knife is thoughtfully designed with nothing but quality, durabilty, and craftsmanship in mind. All Allen's knives are made by hand using manual machines. He does not employ CNC machines or outside vendors to aid in the creation of his knives. Each and every aspect of the knife is thought-out, designed and executed to ensure that it can be handed down for several generations. The tight tolerances that are used to make the knives, the over-engineered components and many other often overlooked details, is what make Elishewitz Custom Knives so unique. All his knives are guaranteed against flaws in the craftsmanship. However certain natural materials such as ivory and wood are not covered due to their unpredictability. Disassembling, abusing or tampering with the knife will void the warranty and a fee will be charged to repair any damages.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |
Sheath included : |
Kydex ![Kydex is a line of thermoplastic acrylic-polyvinyl chloride materials manufactured by Sekisui SPI; it's the modern go to in terms of sheathing. Benefits include: quick draw, reliability, toughness, wear resistance, waterproof, stain resistant, rot resistant, it won't shrink or discolor. Also Kydex is usually molded to perfectly fit the item it's sheathing allowing better fitting & help with a more custom feel than leather. It has a wide variety of applications, including for aircraft bulkheads, firearm holsters, and sheaths. We generally recommend taking your blade out of your kydex sheath after use if the knife is going to be out of action for a long period of time as moisture can build within the sheath leading to rust on your knife.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |
Sheath Mounting : |
Lanyard, Adjustable Nylon Cord [Kydex Compatible] ![Kydex sheaths & some other materials similar to Kydex will have holes throughout the sheath that can be used for looping materials or can be attached with screws for a more solid mount. Kydex mounting is generally considered the most universal method & the modern alternative to the usual Leather belt loop. We almost always recommend Kydex over Leather for practicality, although Leather usually wins for style & comfort.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Description:
The Hogue EX-F03 is a lightweight neck knife, designed by knife maker Allen Elishewitz. The blade is made from 154CM steel and enhanced with a stonewashed finish. The end of the handle is enhanced with a lanyard eye with a piece of knotted rope. Because of the large cut-out in the handle the weight is low, great for a neck knife. It also enables you to wrap paracord around the handle. For a neck knife this knife is quite large. Where you sometimes see that the handle of a neck knife is difficult to handle with large hands, this handle offers enough grip. The blade, with its 5.5 cm cutting surface, is also comfortable to use.
The Hogue EX-F03 comes with a Kydex sheath. Clever about this sheath is that it is made as such that you can insert the knife in two ways. As such you don't have to check to see whether you insert the knife the right way: it will always fit.
