ProTech Runt 5 Automatic Knife Black DLC Magnacut Wharncliffe/Crimson Tiger Camo Custom Anodized Aluminum with Black Pearl Button R5303-CTC

The Pro-Tech Runt 5 Auto Folding Knife R5303 CTC delivers compact performance with a bold custom finish built for everyday carry users who want premium materials in a small, fast-deploying platform. It carries the trusted Runt 5 design forward with upgraded steel and a striking aesthetic that stands out without sacrificing function. Every detail is tuned for precision, from the tight tolerances in the automatic mechanism to the clean, purposeful geometry of the blade.

A CPM MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade finished in black DLC sets the tone for serious capability in a compact form. MagnaCut brings an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it well suited for demanding daily use. The Wharncliffe profile enhances control and slicing efficiency, giving the knife a straight, predictable cutting edge that performs especially well in utility tasks. The DLC coating reduces glare and adds a layer of durability that holds up under repeated use.

The handle is crafted from anodized aluminum finished in a custom crimson tiger camo pattern, giving the knife a distinctive, aggressive look while maintaining lightweight strength. The anodizing process adds depth and variation to the coloration, creating a shifting pattern that feels both modern and rugged. A black lip pearl push button adds a refined contrast point and delivers smooth, consistent automatic deployment with a secure lockup you can trust. The compact frame fits comfortably in pocket while still offering a confident grip when deployed.

Designed as a high-end micro automatic, the Runt 5 CTC blends collectability with real-world practicality. It’s small enough for discreet carry yet capable enough to handle daily cutting tasks with ease, making it a strong option for those who value performance in a minimal footprint.
