The Hogue Expel Scalpel is a precision field knife engineered for hunters and outdoorsmen who demand clean, safe cutting and fast blade changes. Built around a 2.5-inch high-carbon scalpel blade hardened to 60–63 HRC, the Expel delivers surgical sharpness and edge retention for dressing, skinning and fine field work.
A 440C stainless steel frame with solid G10 scales (peel-ply texture) keeps the knife light and secure in the hand. The dual-action switch functions as both blade ejector and lock — replacing blades is safe, fast and requires no direct contact with the cutting edge. Supplied with five replaceable blades and a nylon blade guard, the Expel Scalpel is compact, low weight and proudly made in the USA.
