Piranha DNA Automatic Knife Black S30V/Silver Sculpted Aluminum PKCP16ST

Piranha Knives has earned its place among the elite by doing things the hard way—the right way. For over 30 years, this Idaho-based family business has been hand-manufacturing automatic knives that reflect American craftsmanship at its finest. The Piranha DNA is a sleek, featherweight auto built for speed, discretion, and everyday carry. It’s a knife that doesn’t beg for attention but never falls short when performance matters.

The DNA features a 3.25" drop point blade crafted from CPM-S30V stainless steel—one of the most trusted premium steels in the industry. With a stealthy black coated finish, it holds a keen edge, resists corrosion, and slices with clean precision. A firm press of the button fires the blade into action with authority, locking up solid thanks to Piranha’s time-tested mechanism.

Its handle is sculpted from aerospace-grade aluminum, anodized to a bright silver that’s clean, tough, and eye-catching. The deep machining not only adds grip but speaks to the fine-tuned fit and finish you’d expect from a USA-made blade. A slim stainless steel pocket clip keeps it riding low, light, and ready when you are.

Compact at 4.5" closed and weighing just 1.95oz, the DNA disappears in the pocket until the moment you need it. Every detail—from the snappy deployment to the meticulous machining—reflects Piranha’s commitment to making exceptional knives in small batches for users who demand reliability without bulk.
