Hogue Ballista 1 Tanto Matte Black PS

The Hogue Ballista 1 Tanto Matte Black PS is a no-nonsense automatic knife built for the most demanding environments, proudly designed and manufactured in the USA. Engineered to deliver exceptional cutting performance, this blade stands out with a 3.5" 154CM stainless steel tanto design. The partially serrated edge provides the versatility to handle everything from slicing to more aggressive sawing tasks, making it a reliable choice for tactical applications or everyday use. The black Cerakote finish not only enhances the blade’s sleek, tactical look but also increases its resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring durability for the long haul.

This knife opens with lightning speed thanks to the out-the-side automatic deployment. The push button opener allows for effortless, one-handed operation, a crucial feature in high-pressure situations. Once deployed, the slide safety lock guarantees that the blade stays securely in place, giving you confidence during rigorous use. The same lock also keeps the blade safely stowed when closed, providing additional peace of mind whether the knife is in your pocket, pack, or clipped to your gear.

The handle of the Ballista 1 is constructed from rugged yet lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in a matte black finish for a striking, professional appearance. The precision-machined fluted texture offers a secure, comfortable grip that performs well in any weather or condition. At 4.5" closed and weighing just 4.2 ounces, the knife is compact and easy to carry without sacrificing robustness. The ambidextrous, tip-up deep carry pocket clip ensures discreet and convenient carry, catering to both left- and right-handed users. Additionally, the built-in lanyard hole provides versatile attachment options for easy access when every second counts.

Every detail of the Hogue Ballista 1 reflects a dedication to quality and American ingenuity. Designed by experts with an uncompromising approach to craftsmanship, this knife is more than just a tool; it’s a trusted companion for professionals, adventurers, and everyday users who won’t settle for anything less than the best.
