SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Piranha Rated-R OTF Automatic Knife is a precision-built tool that blends speed, strength, and American craftsmanship into a package made for serious use. At its heart is a 3.5-inch clip point blade crafted from 154CM stainless steel, a premium steel prized for its edge retention, toughness, and resistance to wear. Finished in a flawless mirror polish, the blade doesn’t just perform—it shines, reflecting the careful attention to detail Piranha puts into every knife. With dual-action out-the-front mechanics, the blade deploys and retracts with authority via the smooth thumb slide, locking in place with confidence whether you’re cutting or stowing.
The handle matches the blade’s precision with a streamlined design built from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. Its silver finish pairs seamlessly with the mirror-polished steel, giving the knife a clean, modern look. Slim but strong, the handle is lightweight without compromising durability, keeping the knife easy to carry at just 2.83 ounces. A tip-down pocket clip ensures secure carry, while the overall 8.125-inch length provides plenty of cutting edge without feeling cumbersome.
Every Piranha knife is proudly made in the USA, and the Rated-R exemplifies their commitment to quality machining and reliable performance. It’s a knife that’s as comfortable in a collection as it is on the job, ready for daily tasks or demanding situations alike.
