The Microtech Halo VI Blackout Tactical is built for those who demand uncompromising strength, precision engineering, and commanding presence in an out-the-front automatic knife. As one of Microtech’s most formidable designs, the Halo VI delivers serious performance with a rugged tactical aesthetic that matches its reputation for reliability and power.
The Halo VI operates on a single action out-the-front system, a design that differs from dual action OTF knives. With this configuration, the blade deploys instantly when the firing button is pressed, delivering the strong, authoritative action that has made the Halo series legendary. To retract the blade, the knife uses a charging handle mechanism, giving the user direct mechanical control and reinforcing the knife’s heavy-duty design.
This Blackout Tactical version is equipped with a 4.375-inch tanto blade crafted from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, M390 is a high-performance steel trusted by professionals and enthusiasts alike. The blade is finished with a durable black coating that enhances corrosion resistance while reducing glare, giving the knife a stealthy, all-black tactical appearance. The tanto blade profile delivers exceptional piercing strength along with a reinforced tip designed to handle demanding cutting tasks.
The Halo VI distinguishes itself from earlier models with an upgraded charging handle mechanism. Its redesigned system uses dual pivoting latches that create a secure seal when the blade is closed, increasing reliability and improving overall durability. This model operates without a safety, allowing for rapid deployment when speed and efficiency matter.
The handles are machined from black aircraft-grade aluminum, offering exceptional strength without excessive weight. The knife measures 6.125 inches closed and weighs 5.95 ounces, providing a solid, confident feel in hand. A black Kydex belt sheath is included for secure carry and quick access when you need it.
Proudly made in the USA, the Halo VI represents the precision craftsmanship and bold engineering that define Microtech’s reputation.
