SOLD - Like-New Microtech HALO V-T - First Production Year

Description

5/9/25 - This is an outstanding, like-new example of the iconic Microtech HALO V-T, produced in May 2010 during the model’s first full production year. Marked on the rear charging tab with “Halo V / 05/2010 / S/N 01074”, the HALO V is a single-action out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife, meaning the blade deploys with the push of a button but must be manually retracted via the rear-mounted charging tab. This action allows for an incredibly strong spring and forceful deployment—so much so that HALOs are renowned for their satisfying “snap” and robust lockup. The blade locks into place with authority and shows zero play in any direction. These knives were designed from the outset as hard-use combat tools—no pocket clip, no frills—just purpose-built performance. Originally issued to military and special operations users under Microtech’s Service Personnel Program, the HALO V-T combines precision machining with overwhelming utility. It has become a modern benchmark in American knife manufacturing, known for its overbuilt construction and outstanding reliability under stress. Numerous online demonstrations showcase HALOs being driven through car doors, cinder blocks, and even steel drums—tasks well beyond any normal use case. Yet the knife holds up, again and again. That performance, combined with its collectible value and early production date, make this a rare opportunity to own a knife with no compromises—both devastatingly functional and historically significant. Comparable early HALO V models in like-new condition regularly command values in the $1,000–$1,200 range on the secondary market.
