SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pro-Tech Runt 5 OTS Auto with a Wharncliffe blade is the latest evolution of a classic EDC knife, combining precision engineering with everyday practicality. Designed for enthusiasts who demand speed, reliability, and compact performance, this automatic knife delivers everything you expect from Pro-Tech in a small, pocket-friendly package. The Runt 5 Wharncliffe features lightweight blue anodized aluminum handles with carefully milled texturing that enhances grip and comfort. Every angle of the handle has been sculpted to fit the human hand naturally, giving you precise control over the blade even during detailed cutting tasks.
The 1.96-inch blade is made from high-performance MagnaCut steel, a modern stainless steel known for excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The stonewashed finish not only gives the blade a rugged, low-reflective look but also hides wear and tear, keeping the knife looking sharp even after heavy use. Its Wharncliffe profile provides a controllable tip and long, straight cutting edge, perfect for both utility tasks and precision work.
Pro-Tech has paired the blade with robust, blasted hardware and a DLC-coated mini deep carry clip that keeps the knife secure in your pocket without sacrificing accessibility. The push-button automatic opener ensures lightning-fast deployment with the smooth, reliable action that Pro-Tech knives are known for. Small but functional, the Runt 5 meets legal requirements in states like California, making it an ideal carry for users who want performance without compromise.
The knife weighs just 4 ounces, measures 5.12 inches overall, and has a handle length of 3.25 inches, making it highly portable while still comfortable to hold. The textured aluminum pattern at the base of the blade provides additional tactile control, and the built-in lanyard hole adds versatility for those who want to customize their carry. The tip-up deep carry clip keeps the knife discreet, while the ergonomic design ensures it’s easy to draw and operate with your right hand.
Every detail of the Runt 5 OTS Auto has been refined for durability, utility, and style. From the premium MagnaCut steel to the anodized aluminum handle and stonewashed finish, this knife balances performance and aesthetics with unmatched reliability. Whether you’re on the trail, in the shop, or handling everyday tasks, the Runt 5 Wharncliffe is a compact automatic knife that performs with confidence and precision.
