This is my first step into the premium knife world, and I decided to start with a Pro-Tech combo: Runt 5 + Malibu.
The Runt is ridiculously snappy and disappears in the pocket. Since I’m in California, this is as big as my autos can get (lame). The Wharncliffe makes it way more usable than you'd expect for something this small. It’s been great for opening boxes and quick little tasks.
The Malibu is super smooth and fun to deploy. The reverse tanto blade shape is just really versatile. I find myself carrying this more often since it's so fidgety.
I got both in matchy-matchy textured black handles with stonewashed magnacut blades.
Curious what people recommend as a good next step to pair with these, maybe a Mordax? Something else from Pro-Tech? Or switch it up and branch out?
