Hogue Ballista I

When you mix impressive speed and a premium build that’s designed for hard-use, you get the Hogue Ballista I.

Since it was introduced a few years ago, this everyday carry automatic that’s capable of tackling any work task you need has been among our most popular knives.

It’s not hard to see why either.

The drop-point blade stretches 3.5 inches and fires out of the handle with the press of the button. A safety mechanism near the indented actuator prevents accidental firing when not in use.

The handle itself features a no-nonsense design made from matte blue 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum with fluted texture. The blue coloring sets it apart from the typical all-black presentation of most knives.

The Hogue Ballista I is also available with a tanto blade or black handle. We also named it as one of the best work folders you can buy.

Thanks to a limited time sale this week, this American-made automatic is at one of its lowest prices ever.
