Hogue Ballista I Automatic Knife, Black Tanto Partially Serrated 64120

Overview of the Hogue Ballista I Automatic Folder | 64120

Fast, Confident One-Hand Deployment

When you need a blade open the instant your hand finds it, the Hogue Ballista I Automatic Folder (MPN 64120) answers with a firm push of the button. This American-made automatic knife drives a 3.5-inch 154CM tanto blade forward with speed and locks it solid, so law enforcement officers, EMS crews, and everyday carry users get a dependable tool the moment it matters.

Built for Duty and Daily Carry

The blade wears a black Cerakote finish with partial serrations for cutting through rope, webbing, and seat belts, while the matte black 6061-T6 aluminum frame stays light in the pocket at just 4.2 ounces. A manual safety locks the Ballista I both open and closed to prevent accidental firing, and the patented blade retention device lets you deploy and close one-handed without crossing the edge. Blue anodized titanium hardware, a lanyard hole, and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip round out a knife that carries as cleanly as it cuts. The Ballista I (64120) is a workhorse auto for professionals and collectors alike.

Specifications

Compatibility

The Ballista I is sized for everyday and duty carry. Its reversible deep-carry clip supports tip-up carry on either side, so right- and left-handed users can position it to suit their draw. It rides well in a pants pocket, along a duty belt line, or inside a gear bag.

The 154CM tanto blade with partial serrations handles rope, cordage, webbing, packaging, and seat belts. It is a cutting tool, not a pry bar, so avoid prying, throwing, or twisting the tip. Purchase, transport, and possession of automatic knives are governed by federal, state, and local laws, and you are responsible for confirming that you are eligible to own an automatic knife where you live.

Intended Users

Law enforcement officers rely on the Ballista I for fast, one-hand deployment when a free hand is not available. EMS and fire personnel use the partial serrations to cut seat belts and webbing during rescues and extrications. Security officers and correctional staff carry it as a compact, dependable backup blade. Everyday carry users, preppers, and knife collectors appreciate an American-made automatic with a Cerakote-finished blade and a lightweight aluminum frame.
