Hogue Ballista - One of the most impressive and underrated automatic EDC knives I’ve come across!! 

“You can fully operate this hand with one knife” 14:27. Seriously though I appreciate your reviews and your perspective. Good work!

I too love Hogue's pocket clips. Very functional and good looking

Hogue makes great knives, own a couple and love them both. Thanks for sharing Wayne!

I like the shape of it! I think that would also work very nicely as a manual thumbstud opener, like the Hogue EX01

Thanks, Wayne. The Ballista, the TR3, and Terzoula ATCF are the only autos I think I'd enjoy.

I wasn’t aware the civivi praxis could be spidey flicked and thumb flicked . So cool the things we share .

Love the shape . Seen the thumbnail and like what I see . Looks like a good hefty size auto . Mine are kinda small like a launch 1 and Leverletto . This looks substantially larger and hardier . Excellent choice , 👏 Bravo

14:29 “ you can fully operate this hand with one knife“ 😂😂😂

Looks awesome. A great edc shape and size. Great review brotha 👍

I also like how the pivot matches the button . For another knife that exact look with a chicago back screw for the show side would be sexy looking

Great looking design.

I picked up a copper Boker Plus form$29.99 on blade hq Memorial Day weekend . I told everyone too and a bunch of people got them . Haven’t seen a deal like that since

I just received mine. It's not nearly as sharp as the Spyderco PM2. Also the activation button is a bit rough, even after 100 deployments and a drop of lite gun oil. Made well and looks nice though!

Autos became legal in my state at the beginning of July. I immediately purchased a Pro-Tech Sprint and an Axial Shift is on the way. The Ballista is the next auto on my list. I had already decided on it but your review confirmed my decision. Not the first time that has happened and won’t be the last.

Thanks for sharing. I’m still not sure if automatic knives are for me. I enjoyed your guardian tactical video the other day. I think an OTF may be better for me because you can retract it using the same deployment switch.

Lol. You said you can fully operate this hand with one knife. Might pick this one up, Hogue makes a quality product. I have an ex-04, tr-4, deka v2, and k320. If I could find one in that $165 price range, I'd feel better than paying $180+.

I agree with the crowd that the steel should be better ! I wouldn't buy that because of price for the subpar steel ! But thanks

We can't have auto's in Oz. Actually, can't carry anything... so you just kinda carry anything because what difference does it make ;) Do you think you'll check out the aluminium handled SIG K320 AXG? Still has the same S30V as the original but the handles look schmick!

Very nice It seems like most of the auto knives have aluminum handles more than anything else. Is there a reason for that?
