Hogue Automatics offer impressive speed and exceptional reliability. This Ballista I is another addition to Hogue’s quality line of automatic folding knives. It features a 3.5″ black Cerakoted drop point blade and black aluminum handles. The Ballista’s unique patent-pending blade retention device allows for one-handed deployment and closure without placing the hand in the path of the blade. The manual safety locks the knife both open and closed to prevent misfiring. The knife comes complete with a reversible stainless steel, deep-carry pocket clip.
