SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pro-Tech Runt 5 Nexus takes compact automatic performance to the next level, blending refined craftsmanship with rugged everyday utility. Its 1.96-inch CPM 20CV stainless steel reverse tanto blade is finished with a deep black DLC coating for superior wear resistance and a striking tactical look. The reverse tanto profile adds strength at the tip and fine control along the cutting edge, making it ideal for precision slicing, light prying, and general utility tasks. As with every Pro-Tech automatic, the blade fires open with crisp, authoritative action—fast, reliable, and undeniably satisfying.
The textured gray anodized aluminum handle defines the Nexus model, offering both durability and exceptional grip. Each handle is CNC-machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, then finished with fine texturing that enhances traction without sacrificing comfort. The handle’s ergonomic profile fits naturally in the hand, while the compact frame ensures effortless pocket carry. A black deep-carry pocket clip keeps the knife secure and discreet, while black hardware and firing button complement the DLC-coated blade for a cohesive, professional look.
Made entirely in the USA, the Runt 5 Nexus embodies Pro-Tech’s signature precision machining and attention to detail. It’s built for those who demand a small knife that performs like a full-sized tool—perfect for everyday carry, light field use, or collection display. Compact, sharp, and engineered for reliability, the Nexus stands out as one of the finest examples of Pro-Tech’s automatic mastery.
