ProTech Runt 5 Automatic Knife Sapphire Blue PVD 20CV Reverse Tanto/Black Aluminum AUPTR5203-SB

The Pro-Tech Runt 5 with a Sapphire Blue PVD-coated blade is a bold evolution of the company’s legendary compact automatic line. It features a 1.96-inch CPM 20CV stainless steel reverse tanto blade, finished in a deep Sapphire Blue PVD coating that delivers not only head-turning looks but also outstanding scratch and corrosion resistance. The reverse tanto profile gives the blade exceptional tip strength and fine control, while Pro-Tech’s automatic action fires it open with a crisp snap that’s become synonymous with the brand. Compact yet powerful, this knife handles cutting chores with precision and confidence well beyond its size.

The handle is crafted from solid black anodized aluminum, CNC-machined for perfect balance and a secure, comfortable grip. Its smooth contours fit naturally in the hand, offering control without bulk, while the deep-carry pocket clip allows discreet and reliable carry. Every element—from the sapphire blade finish to the black hardware—has been designed with purpose, creating a striking contrast that blends elegance with tactical edge. Lightweight, tough, and flawlessly finished, this knife feels as refined as it looks.

Made in the USA with Pro-Tech’s signature precision and dedication to quality, the Runt 5 is built for those who appreciate American craftsmanship in a compact, high-performance automatic. Whether it’s a reliable everyday carry, a conversation piece, or a collector’s highlight, this model stands apart for its beauty and build quality alike.
