Hogue Ballista
The Hogue Ballista brings Hogue's firearms-grade manufacturing to a rapid deployment folder designed by Allen Elishewitz. Push-button activation fires the blade open with authority, and Hogue's blade retention system keeps fingers clear of the edge during both deployment and closure. A manual safety locks the knife in open and closed positions, and the button lock is set into recessed stainless steel bolster plates for a clean, snag-free profile.
Three Sizes Across the Lineup
The Ballista ships in three configurations to match carry preference. The Ballista II is the compact option at 2.6 inches of blade and 2.0 ounces — built for low-profile pocket carry. The Ballista I steps up to a 3.5-inch blade at 4.2 ounces for a more capable everyday platform. The Ballista XL pushes to 3.75 inches for users who want reach without moving to a fixed blade.
Premium Steels and CNC-Milled Construction
Blade steel varies by configuration with 154CM, CPM MagnaCut, and S30V represented across the series. Every blade is cryogenically heat treated and hand-honed. Frames are CNC-milled from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with hard anodized finishes in black, blue, or gray. Insert options include G10, Ultem, and cocobolo. The ambidextrous deep-carry pocket clip rounds out a package that carries well regardless of hand dominance.
Made in the USA
Every Ballista is manufactured at Hogue's facility in Henderson, Nevada.
