Product Description
If the stonewash Malibu is the everyday worker, the 5403 is the one you carry when you want it to look as good as it performs. The DLC black CPM-MagnaCut reverse tanto blade against a smooth anodized green 7075 aluminum handle is one of the sharper-looking combinations Pro-Tech has put out, and DLC is not just cosmetic. Diamond-like carbon coating adds a layer of hardness and corrosion protection on top of MagnaCut's already exceptional steel properties, making this one of the most durable blade configurations in the Malibu lineup. The blade face is completely sterile. Branding and steel designation are hidden on the spine, keeping the look clean from every angle.
The platform underneath is the same Malibu that has built a loyal following in the EDC community since its release. Ball bearings on hardened steel washers, Pro-Tech's tuned button lock detent system that uses no separate detent ball, and a high flat grind on the 3.25-inch blade that delivers a razor edge all the way to the reinforced tip. The reverse tanto profile is purpose-built for penetration and precise cutting work without sacrificing the versatility you need in an everyday carry. Deployment is snappy and consistent, and the lockup is rock solid.
The smooth green anodized handle is machined from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, a stronger alloy than the 6061 found on most production knives in this price range. All hardware is black to match the DLC blade, keeping the color blocking clean and intentional. The mini deep carry clip sits flush to the handle for discreet carry at just 3.2 ounces, and a lanyard hole is included. Knifeworks is an authorized Pro-Tech dealer and your purchase is backed by Pro-Tech's manufacturer warranty.
