Hogue Ballista I Automatic Folding Knife, Black Cerakote 64130

Overview of the Hogue Ballista I Automatic Folder | 64130

When you need a blade open and ready in the time it takes to press a button, the Hogue Ballista I (64130) delivers. This American-built automatic folding knife pairs a fast push-button deployment with a 3.5 inch 154CM stainless steel drop point blade finished in tough black Cerakote. Whether you are a patrol officer cutting a seatbelt, a security professional handling cordage, or an everyday carry enthusiast who wants a serious tool on your belt, this knife works with one hand and stays out of your way the rest of the day.

The matte black 6061-T6 aluminum frame keeps weight down to just 4.2 ounces while its fluted texture gives you a confident grip. A manual safety locks the blade both open and closed, so the 64130 rides securely and deploys only when you mean it to. The reversible deep-carry clip suits left or right handed users alike.

Specifications

Compatibility

The Ballista I is a self-contained automatic folder, so there are no separate platforms or attachments to match. It fits standard pocket carry and works for both left and right handed users thanks to the reversible deep-carry clip mounted for tip-up carry. The lanyard hole accepts a paracord loop or fob for added retention.

Because this is an automatic (switchblade-style) knife, ownership and carry rules vary by state and locality. Confirm the regulations where you live before ordering, and note that WCUniforms ships within the United States only.

Intended Users

The Ballista I is built for professionals and serious users who value fast, reliable deployment.

Knife collectors and everyday carry enthusiasts choose the Ballista I for its American steel, patented action, and clean matte black build.
