Hogue Ballista I Automatic 3.5" 154CM Drop Point Folding Knife - Matte Black Aluminum

The Hogue Ballista I is a purpose-built American-made automatic folder designed for everyday carry, tactical, and military and law-enforcement use. It runs on a reliable button-actuated mechanism that deploys the blade with a positive, snappy action built for duty environments.

The 3.5" 154CM stainless steel blade is ground in a versatile drop point profile with a stonewash finish that hides everyday wear and resists corrosion. Hardened to 57-59 Rockwell, the blade cuts through a wide range of materials while holding a working edge, and at 0.150" thick it strikes a balance between strength and slicing performance.

Frame construction centers on lightweight, durable 6061-T6 aluminum with a matte black hard-anodized finish that delivers a secure, non-slip grip and exceptional corrosion resistance. The aluminum handles keep the knife's weight at just 4.2 oz, light enough for comfortable all-day carry without sacrificing strength.

Fully open the Ballista I measures 8.0" overall; folded, it closes to a pocket-friendly 4.5". Made in the USA by Hogue, the Ballista I is a well-rounded automatic folder that brings premium materials, reliable auto deployment, and a clean tactical aesthetic to the EDC rotation.
