The Hogue Expel (brand part no. 35834) puts a replaceable-blade scalpel into a rugged folding knife body. Its 2.5-inch high carbon steel blade carries a satin finish, and a dual-action switch works as both an ejector, for safely removing a spent blade, and a lock, for securing a fresh one in place. The handle is built from blaze orange textured G10 with stainless steel liners, and the knife ships complete with three #60-style and two #70-style replacement blades.

Key Specifications

• The blade measures 2.5 inches and is ground from high carbon steel with a satin finish.
• A dual-action ejector-and-lock switch lets you safely eject a spent blade and lock a fresh one into place.
• The handle combines blaze orange textured G10 scales with stainless steel liners for a durable, high-visibility grip.
• It ships with three #60-style and two #70-style replacement blades, so you’re set for multiple blade changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the blade be replaced? Yes. A dual-action switch ejects the old blade and locks a new one in place, and the knife ships with five spare blades.

Is this an automatic knife? No. The Expel is a manual folder with a replaceable-blade system; the ejector and lock switch controls blade changes, not deployment.
