ProTech R5403-CTC – Runt 5 – MagnaCut DLC Reverse Tanto – Aluminum – Crimson Tiger Camo

The ProTech Runt 5 in Crimson Tiger Camo is a compact automatic knife that delivers an outsized performance punch in a lightweight, California-legal form factor. Featuring a dramatic MagnaCut DLC-coated reverse tanto blade, this variant combines striking aesthetics with exceptional everyday functionality. The Runt 5 has become one of ProTech’s most popular platforms due to its snappy action, ergonomic comfort, and nearly indestructible reliability—making it a favored choice among collectors, first responders, and EDC enthusiasts alike.

At just under 2 inches, the CPM MagnaCut blade provides impressive cutting capability in a size that stays compliant with strict blade-length regulations. The reverse tanto geometry enhances tip strength while maintaining excellent slicing performance. The DLC finish adds abrasion resistance, reduces glare, and reinforces the blade’s stealthy visual signature. Despite its small stature, the Runt 5 cuts like a much larger knife thanks to ProTech’s refined edge geometry and MagnaCut’s inherent performance characteristics.

The Crimson Tiger Camo aluminum handle gives this model a bold, modern presence. The combination of red, black, and pattern layering creates a unique look on every piece, emphasizing ProTech’s attention to detail. The ergonomic curve of the handle ensures a secure three-finger grip, with the finger choil providing added control for precision tasks. The automatic action is extremely fast and authoritative—classic ProTech—making the Runt 5 both fun to operate and highly functional.

A deep-carry pocket clip ensures subtle, secure transport, while the push-button lock provides positive control during deployment and safe retraction. Despite being one of ProTech’s smallest autos, the Runt 5 remains one of its most capable and reliable designs, offering excellent cutting performance and top-tier construction in a size that fits virtually any carry style.
