NEW Double action front opener from Piranha.

This new front opener from Piranha is 100% CNC machined here in the USA. The frame is machined from billets of 6061 T-6 aircraft grade aluminum and the 3.2 inch 154CM mirror polished blade is heat treated to RC 59. The pocket clip is Titanium and designed for tip up carry. There are alot of quality features in this knife that are either not available or expensive options on other high end front openers and our first impression is very good. The knife fires HARD. The mirror blade adds to the look of quality and it locks up as well as any other high end front opener. Fit and finish are also very good. It looks to be on a par with the venerable and largely unavailable Desert Knife Works Sandshark but is slightly smaller and considerably less expensive.

These are on a first come first served waiting list. We should have some within 2 weeks or less.

The barrel is black anodized T-6 aluminum with  bands of knurling machined in for grip. The SPIKE itself is hand machined TUNGSTEN hardened to rockwell 57. The collar and button are also hand machined stainless steel and the spring is also stainless.

All of these parts are lovingly nestled together by hand for the fit, finish and dependability of a custom made defensive weapon that will back you up BIG TIME when you need it but clips in your pocket just like a pen when you don't.

The spring loaded stinger is top notch all the way.

9 inches overall with a 3 3/4 inch spring loaded spike this baby is ALL business.

This is NOT on of those cheap extruded models. This is made by a company that supplies several nations with automatic edged weapons.

Don't be fooled.

The frame is machined from a billet of 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum alloy and it weighs under 4 ounces. Available in Satin finish or Black, Plain or Serrated.(as listed) Comes with Microtechs new multi position convertable belt / web sheath. (?)

Since the inception of the HALO II and HALO III (High Altitude Low Open) in 1996, they quickly became a well-known favorite in the knife world. The HALO is the first automatic single action, out-the-front (OTF), knife produced by Microtech. The HALO, when deployed, provides the absolute tightest lock up of any commercially made front opener available. When retracted, the knife can be easily concealed in its hand molded kydex carry rig or tactical carry sheath. The clip point blade of the HALO II and the Tanto blade of the HALO III, provide the preference of blade style with the reliability of the HALO series. Its one handed, fast action open, has fired its way into the hands of thousands of military, law enforcement and government agents all over the world. Smooth lines, lightweight, and a deadly edge, provide you with a little more than just backup.

Microtech Red Makora in Satin Plain or Serrated

 The concept for the makora evolved from the famous Microtech Ultratech design. It has been field tested and proven over several years. This design incorporates many features, which have been desired and specified by users who prefer this highly effective tool, over any other. The MAKORA’s spring remains in an ”at rest” position at all times except when deployed. With no fatigue on the compressed spring when the knife is not in use, this gives the users the reliability and confidence that when the release is pushed, the knife will operate. Other futures include:  quick and efficient one handed open and close action, anti- slip inlays in the top and bottom of the handle, a 154-cm wear resistant double edge blade, an ambidextrous pocket clip, twin pommel strikes, a lanyard attachment, tamper resistant screws, and a machined grip with a large actuating button for easy operation with gloves. The MAKORA is designed exclusively for personal applications by authorized personnel only.  (?)
