Hogue Knives

The Hogue Ballista II is a precision-engineered automatic knife designed for those who demand speed, reliability, and performance. Featuring a 2.6" bayonet-style blade made from CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel, the Ballista II offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, with a hardness rating of 62-64 HRC. The blade is cryogenically heat-treated for enhanced toughness and comes with a sleek two-tone finish, combining a stone-tumbled surface with a black PVD coating for a rugged, stealthy look.

The knife's frame is constructed from matte black 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, complemented by carbon fiber inserts for a lightweight yet durable build. Adding blue anodized titanium accents further enhances its aesthetic, making it as visually striking as it is functional. The deep carry pocket clip offers convenient right-handed carry, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts who appreciate both performance and style. With its precision build, premium materials, and sleek design, the Hogue Ballista II is a top-tier automatic EDC knife that stands out in both form and function.

From the Designer

"I am overwhelmingly satisfied with how this design was executed from a conceptual drawing all the way through its final fit and finishes performed by our expert team of technicians and craftsmen. The arcs and lines that make up the knife’s silhouette create a symmetry that draws you in and makes you want to pick the knife up. It truly is a departure from our more traditional designs, but still an example of American-made reliability, toughness, and excellence."

Great Knife, but
I’ve had this knife about a month now Excellent piece, workmanship, & material. I love the design & feel in hand during use. I got it for the size & EDC. BUT, I cannot count the number of times I’ve opened the blade into the palm of my hand. The symmetrical design of the closed knife, & the dead center location of the release button makes it very hard to determine the blade exit side; even upon close examination when closed. Again, the fit, function & quality are excellent!!! I won’t send it back! I’ll just continue to carry & hope that I figure something out.

Nice knife
Knife was pretty slick. The one off putting thing was the blade was not centered when I got it. It was flopped over to the left. For a $270 knife I expect pretty good craftsmanship. The other gripe I have is their shipping. I paid almost $16 for two day shipping and it took five or six days to get it. And when I reached out to ask him what's going on and why I haven't received the package and one of their customer service representative was kind of rude. Why offer a $16 shipping service and it takes a week to get your product. What's the point of paying for that type of shipping. I feel like it's a rip off and it's a con. It kind of sealed the deal on me ordering a knife from this website again. I'll go back to Blade HQ
