Pro Tech Runt 5 OTS Auto Blue Aluminum Handle Black DLC CPM-20CV Reverse Tanto Blade AUPTR5203-BLUE

The Pro-Tech Runt 5 OTS Auto with Blue Aluminum Handle and Black DLC CPM-20CV Reverse Tanto Blade is a compact, high-performance automatic knife designed for everyday carry. As the latest evolution of the classic Runt model, it combines Pro-Tech’s signature smooth, one-handed deployment with a sub-two-inch blade that’s legal in California. Despite its small size, the handle is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, with subtle texturing at the back of the handle near the blade base that allows precise control for detailed cutting tasks. Its lightweight design, measuring just 5.13 inches overall and weighing 2.09 ounces, makes it extremely pocket-friendly while still feeling solid and balanced in use.

The 1.96-inch reverse tanto blade is crafted from premium CPM-20CV steel, offering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for both everyday tasks and tactical applications. The blade features a flat grind and plain edge for clean, controlled cuts, and the reverse tanto design reinforces the tip for piercing and detail work. The DLC black finish enhances the blade’s rugged, tactical appearance while providing long-lasting durability. Opening is fast and reliable via a push-button automatic mechanism, with a secure button lock to keep the blade safely in place during use.

The handle is made from anodized blue aluminum, giving the knife a striking appearance without compromising on durability. Its 0.48-inch thickness and carefully contoured shape ensure a comfortable and secure grip. The Runt 5 also includes a tip-up, right-hand pocket clip and a lanyard hole, making it easy to carry and access at a moment’s notice. Precision washers in the pivot allow smooth blade action while maintaining stability under repeated use.

Proudly made in the USA, the Pro-Tech Runt 5 OTS Auto is the perfect combination of performance, portability, and style. It’s an ideal choice for collectors, law enforcement, and anyone seeking a reliable, compact automatic knife that delivers every time it’s needed. The Pro-Tech Runt 5 OTS Auto pairs a stunning, eye-catching blue aluminum handle with a 1.96-inch black DLC CPM-20CV reverse tanto blade for style and performance.
