The Microtech Halo VI Blackout Tactical delivers commanding performance in a single action out-the-front automatic built for serious users and collectors alike. Known for its bold size, precision engineering, and unmistakable deployment, the Halo VI represents one of Microtech’s most iconic designs. This version carries a stealthy all-black tactical appearance that matches its rugged construction and formidable capability.
Unlike dual action OTF knives, the Halo VI operates on a single action mechanism. With the press of the firing button, the blade deploys with authority and locks firmly into place. To retract the blade, the knife uses a charging handle system, giving the user direct mechanical control over the action. This design has long been appreciated for its strength and durability, offering a solid and dependable operating system that stands apart from many other automatic knives.
The blade measures 4.375 inches and is crafted from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel, a high-performance steel widely respected for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. This version features a drop point blade with partial serrations, adding versatility for a variety of cutting tasks. The plain edge provides clean slicing performance while the serrated section bites aggressively into tough materials like rope, webbing, and fibrous materials. A durable black coating gives the blade a non-reflective tactical finish while helping resist wear.
Microtech refined the Halo VI with an upgraded charging handle mechanism that improves both reliability and durability. The handle system features dual pivoting latches that create a secure seal when the knife is closed, helping ensure the blade stays firmly contained until deployment. The firing mechanism on this model does not include a safety, allowing for immediate action when needed.
The handles are constructed from black aircraft-grade aluminum, offering impressive strength while keeping the knife relatively lightweight for its size. It measures 6.125 inches closed and weighs 5.95 ounces, giving it a solid, confidence-inspiring 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 dedication to precision manufacturing and rugged performance.
