The Microtech Halo VI Blackout Tactical stands as one of the most formidable single action out-the-front automatic knives ever built. Designed for those who demand uncompromising performance and rugged reliability, the Halo VI carries forward Microtech’s legendary Halo platform with updated engineering and a bold all-black tactical profile.
Single action OTF knives operate differently from dual action designs. On the Halo VI, the blade deploys instantly with the press of the firing button, delivering the powerful, authoritative action the series is known for. Once deployed, the blade is retracted using the charging handle system, giving the knife a robust mechanical feel and reinforcing the strength of the mechanism. This design has long been favored by enthusiasts who appreciate the durability and precision of a true single action automatic.
This Blackout Tactical configuration features a 4.375-inch drop point blade crafted from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel. M390 is widely respected for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness, making it an excellent steel for high-performance automatic knives. The blade is finished with a durable black coating that reduces glare while adding an extra layer of protection. The drop point profile provides excellent versatility, offering a strong tip and a long, sweeping cutting edge that handles a wide variety of tasks with confidence.
The Halo VI separates itself from earlier generations with a redesigned charging handle mechanism. Its upgraded system features dual pivoting latches that create a secure seal when the blade is closed, improving overall lockup and durability. The firing mechanism on this model operates without a safety, allowing for fast, straightforward deployment when needed.
The handles are machined from black aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering impressive strength while maintaining manageable carry weight. The knife measures 6.125 inches closed and weighs 5.95 ounces, providing a solid and balanced feel in hand. A black Kydex belt sheath is included for secure carry and quick access.
Proudly made in the USA, the Halo VI reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision manufacturing and bold engineering.
