Pro Tech Malibu Flipper Operator Black Handle DLC Black Coated Reversse Tanto Blade Magnacut Blade All Black Hardware Black Clip Tritium Button 5403-OP

The Pro Tech Malibu Operator edition brings together stealth-driven design, premium materials, and Pro Tech’s unmatched American machining in a package built for dependable everyday performance. This version of the Malibu is crafted for users who prefer a clean, blackout aesthetic paired with the rugged reliability of a modern hard-use folder. Its streamlined profile, smooth action, and purpose-built components make it a standout piece in Pro Tech’s lineup.

Its 3.25-inch reverse tanto blade is made from CPM Magnacut, a steel known for delivering incredible edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black DLC finish adds another layer of durability while giving the blade a low-glare, tactical appearance suited for discreet carry or professional use. The reverse tanto geometry provides a strong, reinforced tip with excellent slicing ability, making the blade as practical as it is visually striking.

The black aluminum handle keeps the knife lightweight without sacrificing strength, offering a balanced feel that’s easy to control. Subtle contouring provides a comfortable grip during prolonged use, while the all-black hardware blends seamlessly with the body to maintain the Operator’s uniform, shadow-ready aesthetic. A tip-up pocket clip ensures the knife rides securely and remains quickly accessible.

One of the standout features of this Operator model is its tritium button. Whether you're deploying the blade in low light or locating the knife in dim conditions, the glowing tritium insert provides visibility when it matters most. Pro Tech’s automatic action is fast, decisive, and reliable, delivering immediate access to the blade with a single press of the button.

With an overall length of 7.5 inches and a weight of just 2.99 ounces, the Malibu Operator carries lightly while offering serious cutting capability. It’s built for users who want a refined, blackout automatic that performs just as impressively as it looks.

Proudly made in the USA, this Malibu model embodies Pro Tech’s reputation for precision craftsmanship, premium materials, and dependable function. It’s a work-ready tool with the build quality and style to satisfy both dedicated users and discerning collectors.
