Hogue Ballista II Automatic Knife - 2.60" CPM MagnaCut Black PVD Coated Bayonet Blade - Matte Black Aluminum Frame with Black G10 Inserts (64232)
Overview & Heritage: The Hogue Ballista II Automatic (64232) is a sleek, stealthy tactical and everyday carry (EDC) automatic folding knife engineered for covert deployment, extreme structural integrity, and tactical utility. Proudly handcrafted in Henderson, Nevada, USA, the Ballista II platform builds upon Hogue's decades of experience manufacturing precision components for high-grade firearms and duty equipment. This tactical blackout edition pairs revolutionary powder-metallurgy super steel with a Matte Black anodized aluminum frame highlighted by high-traction Black G10 scale inlays. Purpose-engineered for duty officers, tactical operators, EDC purists, and knife collectors, the 64232 delivers lightning-fast push-button deployment, compact carry proportions, and unshakeable tactile security.
Blade & Performance: Outfitted with a versatile 2.60-inch bayonet-style blade forged from revolutionary CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, the 64232 provides an unmatched combination of top-tier edge retention, high impact toughness, and near-total rust immunity. The blade features a non-reflective Black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating that shields the steel while eliminating operational glare. Fired instantaneously via a high-tension internal coil spring and an ergonomic push-button release, its dagger-inspired bayonet geometry and reinforced tip excel at high-speed slicing, piercing, package opening, and detailed utility chores.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle chassis is precision 3D-milled from lightweight, high-strength 6061-T6 billet aluminum finished in a durable Matte Black anodization. Embedded within the handle frame are custom Black G10 polymer inserts—a highly durable, weather-proof composite that provides enhanced grip traction in wet, slick, or gloved conditions while maintaining a slim pocket profile. Operating on a smooth pivot with an integrated manual slide safety lock, the mechanism prevents accidental button actuation during pocket transport. Complete with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, the Ballista II offers discreet, low-profile daily carry.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
CPM MagnaCut is an industry-leading American stainless super steel offering exceptional corrosion resistance and edge holding capability. Keep the automatic action fire-ready by periodically blowing out pocket lint from the button housing and pivot using compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot lubricant. Wipe down the Black PVD blade surface with a soft microfiber cloth, and clean the anodized aluminum frame and G10 inserts using warm water and mild dish soap as needed.
