Protech Runt 5 LTD Reverse Tanto Black DLC 20CV Bronze Aluminum Automatic R5212

The Protech Knives Runt 5 is the newest evolution of the California legal Runt series of automatic knives from Protech. A stout, high performance Gentleman’s auto, the Runt carries well and performs like a razor while still being robust enough to handle a variety of cutting tasks. Built with modern American materials, high-tech manufacturing, advanced coil spring mechanism, and premium production quality, Protech delivers again with the Runt 5. This limited production version has a black DLC CPM-20CV reverse Tanto blade, stonewashed bronze aluminum handle and satin finished, Mother-of-Pearl inlaid button.

Brand new directly from Protech Knives.

Blade: The California legal, sub-2″ reverse Tanto blade delivers excellent performance in everyday use. The fine tip and thin stock make this a precision cutting tool. A durable matte black DLC finish resists wear and is discreetly non-reflective. Automatic deployment via the button operated coil spring mechanism is fast, smooth, and reliable. Mother-of-Pearl inlaid into the button adds a touch of class.

Handle: The robust handle is aluminum bronze, a premium alloy that delivers solid heft in the hand and will develop a unique natural patina with time and handling, though slower than standard bronze. Stonewashed for a rugged, wear hiding look, the small handle keeps the knife compact for carry. A subtle choil, tapered end and dimpled jimping deliver a secure and comfortable grip.

Carries via a right-hand stainless steel deep carry clip.

CPM-20CV: CPM-20CV (analog to M390 and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high level edge retention and corrosion resistance. Relatively easy to sharpen, the coarse microstructure gives this steel lower toughness.
