Hogue Ballista II Automatic Knife - 2.60" CPM MagnaCut Black PVD Coated Bayonet Blade - Matte Black Aluminum Frame with Amber Ultem Inserts (64236)
Overview & Heritage: The Hogue Ballista II Automatic (64236) is an ultra-sleek, modern tactical and everyday carry (EDC) automatic folding knife engineered for covert deployment, supreme material reliability, and high-tech material styling. Proudly handcrafted in Henderson, Nevada, USA, the Ballista II platform leverages Hogue's decades of precision manufacturing experience in high-grade firearms accessories and duty gear. This specialized edition pairs revolutionary powder-metallurgy super steel with a Matte Black anodized aluminum frame highlighted by lightweight, semi-translucent Amber Ultem polymer scale inlays. Engineered for tactical operators, duty officers, EDC purists, and knife collectors, the 64236 delivers blistering push-button deployment, compact carry proportions, and striking aesthetic contrast.
Blade & Performance: Outfitted with a versatile 2.60-inch bayonet-style blade forged from revolutionary CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, the 64236 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 Amber Ultem polymer inserts—a high-performance, heat-resistant thermoplastic that provides a striking aesthetic visual while reducing total mass and maintaining structural rigidity. 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 Ultem inserts using warm water and mild dish soap as needed.
