This out-the-side automatic knife is built with the quality and craftsmanship that Hogue Knives is renowned for, making it an essential addition to any serious knife enthusiast’s collection.

The Ballista 1 features a 3.5-inch 154CM stainless steel blade, a high-grade material known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The drop point blade design offers a versatile cutting edge, suitable for a wide range of tasks, from detailed slicing to heavy-duty work. The stone tumbled finish not only adds a rugged aesthetic but also helps to mask scratches and wear, ensuring the blade maintains its look through extended use.

Operating the Ballista 1 is a breeze with its out-the-side automatic mechanism. A push button deploys the blade swiftly and smoothly, while the slide safety lock ensures secure handling, preventing accidental deployment. This intuitive design makes the knife both user-friendly and reliable, perfect for quick, one-handed operation when you need it most.

The handles of the Ballista 1 are crafted from anodized black 6061-T6 aluminum, a material prized for its strength-to-weight ratio and durability. The fluted texture provides a secure, comfortable grip, enhancing control and reducing the risk of slippage during use. This ergonomic design ensures that the knife feels natural in your hand, whether you’re using it for extended periods or in high-stress situations.

For added convenience, the Ballista 1 includes an ambidextrous tip-up deep carry pocket clip, allowing for discreet and secure carry options. The clip’s design makes it easy to access the knife from either side, catering to both left and right-handed users. Additionally, the lanyard hole provides another carrying option, ensuring that the knife can be securely attached to gear or worn for quick access.

Measuring 4.5 inches when closed and weighing 4.2 ounces, the Ballista 1 is compact and lightweight, making it an ideal everyday carry knife.
