The Microtech Halo V knives are big, powerful, and look great. The biggest difference between the Halo 5 series and the previous models is the size. At almost 11" the Halo V is a big knife with a big blade. In addition to being long, the blade is thick and sturdy. To ensure the best blade/handle ratio the tips on these knives come right up to the top of the handle, so don't drag your finger across the blade's exit point! The action on these is fast, they hit hard, and the lock-up is excellent. This Halo V knife has a satin finished steel tanto blade with a plain edge. The 6061-T6 aluminum frame and charging handle are black anodized and the hardware is bead blasted. Includes a molded black sheath with belt attachment system.
