The Hogue Ballista I automated folder knife delivers push-button deployment with the reliability of a proven safety mechanism — ideal for hunters, field workers, and anyone who needs a capable cutting tool that deploys instantly when seconds count. This 3½-inch drop point blade comes in 154CM stainless steel, hand-honed and cryogenically heat-treated to 57–59 HRC for edge retention and corrosion resistance in the field. At 4.2 ounces with a closed length of 4.5 inches, it sits light in a pack or pocket without sacrificing cutting performance.
Built around a matte black 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum frame with a fluted texture grip, the Ballista I handles equally well in wet or gloved conditions. The automatic button deployment pairs with a manual safety, giving you controlled access without accidental opening. A stone-tumbled finish on the blade resists glint and wear, while the flat grind profile ensures a thin edge geometry for clean cuts through tough materials.
The deep carry pocket clip is ambidextrous and works tip-up for either right- or left-handed carry — mount it where it suits your draw. A lanyard hole rounds out the carry options, so you can secure the knife to a pack, belt, or boat if you're working near water. Whether you're processing game, breaking down camp gear, or handling routine cutting tasks in the backcountry, the Ballista I combines speed, control, and durability.
