Hogue makes firearm grips and knives, best known for the OverMolded rubber grips that improved the feel of countless handguns and long guns. Founded in 1968 by Guy Hogue, an LAPD officer who made a better grip for his service revolver, the family-run company is now based in Henderson, Nevada, and remains a benchmark for American-made grips. Handgun owners, competitive shooters, and hunters know the brand for grips that improve control.

The selection covers OverMolded and hardwood handgun grips, rifle stocks and AR-15 components, and a line of folding and fixed-blade knives. Hogue entered the knife market in 2010 with designs from custom knifemaker Allen Elishewitz.

The OverMolded design pairs a rigid internal skeleton with a grippy rubber overmold, which gives a grip that stays fixed to the frame while cushioning recoil and holding purchase in wet or sweaty hands. That same attention to how a tool sits in the hand carries into Hogue's knives, where contoured G10 and OverMolded handles and quality blade steels like CPM-20CV and MagnaCut aim for control and edge retention. Whether the product is a revolver grip, an AR grip, or an everyday folder, the through-line is ergonomics: a firearm or knife is easier to run well when the interface fits the hand, which is the problem Hogue set out to solve from the start.

Pair a grip with an optic, compare blades in tactical knives, and carry an everyday folder from the pocket knives selection.
