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 tumbled drop point blade while the anodized aluminum handle is finished matte black.
