Hogue, widely known as being a reliable US-based gun grip manufacturer, has been producing high quality tactical equipment for both civilians and the miliary since the late 1960s. Pocket knives are a solid part of Hogue’s repertoire, from manual folders with the ambidextrous ABLE lock mechanism, to push button automatics, to tomahawks, to awesome out the front autos, they’ve got a ton of pieces that you should be looking to add to your collection. There’s a reason Hogue’s products are issued to every branch in the U.S. military, as they have proven to be ultra-dependable.  We have been blown away by the quality of knives coming from Hogue, and we are excited to expand our selection of all styles of knives coming from the US-based company. Hogue also proudly manufactures products from tactical brands Heckler & Koch (H&K) and SIG SAUER. We have had Hogue’s main line of knives, and a few H&Ks & SIGs, and not one of them has been underwhelming. If you’re looking for a tool made in the United States with high-grade materials, look no further.

Brand new for 2022, the Hogue Ballista is a snappy push button automatic with a reliable face-side slide safety. Lightweight and thin, the Ballista is a pretty standard size, coming in at 8” while open with a 3.5” blade. This is one of those simple looking knives that surprises you with its impressive functionality. The 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle has fluting that’s a perfect fit for your fingers during use, making it a very comfortable everyday carry. With a tactical looking, reversible tip-up pocket clip, this new knife checks all the boxes as a US-made EDC. High edge retention and resistance to corrosion define the 154CM steel featured on these awesome automatic knives. Coming in a few blade color/style and handle finish options, and being one of the best value push button automatics on the market, grab one of these guys fast!

This model Hogue Ballista I comes with a black cerakote coated drop point blade while the anodized aluminum handle is also finished black, giving this model the ultimate tactical look. The pocket clip and hardware are finished black, too.
