Unboxing - Hogue Deka Magnacut and comparing to Bugout, Demko, etc
Published: 2 years ago
Comparing variants of the Hogue Deka with one another and other knives because I’m obsessed with Magnacut. A clear contender to compete with the venerable Bugout, with better blade steel and a lower price tag, $127 at the time of this video.
