The Microtech Halo VI Blackout Tactical is a commanding single action out-the-front automatic built for those who appreciate uncompromising strength, precision engineering, and bold tactical styling. As one of Microtech’s most recognized designs, the Halo VI delivers serious performance with the robust construction and authoritative deployment that have made the Halo series legendary among automatic knife enthusiasts.
Unlike dual action OTF knives, the Halo VI operates on a single action system. Pressing the firing button launches the blade forward with decisive force, locking it firmly into place for dependable cutting performance. Once deployed, the blade is retracted using a charging handle mechanism, a design that gives the knife a solid mechanical feel while enhancing overall durability. This system has long been favored by those who appreciate the reliability and strength of a true single action automatic.
This version is equipped with a 4.375-inch tanto blade crafted from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, M390 is a high-performance steel well suited for demanding use. The blade features partial serrations that add extra versatility, allowing the knife to bite aggressively into rope, webbing, and other tough materials while maintaining a clean slicing edge along the plain section. A durable black coating completes the blade, creating a non-reflective finish that enhances the knife’s stealthy tactical appearance.
The Halo VI improves upon earlier generations with an upgraded charging handle mechanism designed for increased reliability. The redesigned system incorporates dual pivoting latches that create a secure seal when the knife is closed, helping ensure the blade remains firmly contained until deployment. This model operates without a safety, allowing for fast and straightforward activation when needed.
Black aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide excellent strength while keeping the knife comfortable to carry. Measuring 6.125 inches closed and weighing 5.95 ounces, the Halo VI feels substantial in hand without being overly heavy. A black Kydex belt sheath is included for secure carry and quick access in the field.
Proudly made in the USA, the Halo VI reflects Microtech’s dedication to precision manufacturing and rugged performance.
