SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pro-Tech Runt 5 is a compact powerhouse that blends precision engineering with raw cutting performance. Designed for those who value speed, strength, and reliability in a pocket-sized automatic, it delivers everything you’d expect from Pro-Tech in a tighter, more agile package. The R5305 variant features a 1.96" MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade with a clean stonewash finish, giving it excellent corrosion resistance and edge retention while maintaining a stealthy, work-ready appearance. The blade snaps open with Pro-Tech’s signature lightning-fast action, powered by a robust push-button automatic mechanism that locks up with absolute confidence.
The handle is crafted from lightweight, textured black aluminum, providing a sure grip even when conditions get slick. It’s slim, balanced, and ergonomically shaped for precision control, allowing the Runt 5 to punch well above its size. A recessed firing button ensures safe pocket carry, while the tip-up pocket clip and lanyard hole add versatility to your everyday setup. Whether used for daily cutting tasks, light-duty fieldwork, or just as a reliable companion, this knife’s performance speaks for itself.
Proudly made in the USA, the Runt 5 showcases Pro-Tech’s dedication to quality craftsmanship and purpose-built design. Every curve, grind, and texture has been refined to deliver top-tier performance in one of the most compact automatic knives ever made. Its clean lines and hard-wearing materials reflect the brand’s no-nonsense approach to American knife making.
