HFS Trooper

HFS Trooper – Pocket Line | 5160 or 1095 High-Carbon Steel

The HFS Trooper is the latest evolution in the HoboForge Survival pocket line—built for everyday carry without sacrificing real-world capability. Designed to be compact, aggressive, and endlessly reliable, the Trooper delivers confidence far beyond its size. 

This featured Trooper is outfitted with camo Micarta handle scales handcrafted by Patrick at Wood Craft Designs, offering exceptional grip, durability, and control in all conditions. Micarta excels in wet, cold, and dirty environments, making it a natural choice for a blade meant to live in your pocket and be ready at a moment’s notice. Future models will be available in wood or Micarta, giving users the option of traditional warmth or maximum durability.

At the core is a blade forged from 5160 or 1095 high-carbon steel, both trusted steels known for edge retention, toughness, and ease of maintenance in the field. Whether you choose the spring-steel resilience of 5160 or the razor-keen bite of 1095, the Trooper delivers reliability you can feel with every cut.

Each Trooper is paired with a top-tier leather pocket sheath handcrafted by Chris at Freedom Leather Co, featuring unmatched retention and a slim, secure carry profile. The sheath and blade work together as a system—quiet, secure, and always ready—reinforcing the confidence this knife is built to provide.
