Walther Knife Reviews Including the PRO Range: Walther PPQ and Micro PPQ

Walther PPQ

Like the famous PPQ pistol series, both the PPQ and micro PPQ knives have a polymer high-grip surface finish on the handles which were inspired by the PPQ pistols designs. Both pistols and the knives have a positive reputation for being grippy, giving you a firm and secure hold in the hand in any situation. When holding this knife for the first time, I was impressed with its balance first of all.

Blade
The blade has an anthracite coating and is a spear point made of 440 stainless steel.
It has a liner lock mechanism and once flipped open, has a really solid hold with no give. The overall length of the knife is 223m, the length of the blade is 95mm and the weight of this knife is 140grams.

Handle
As I stated above, the handle is made of a polymer high-grip surface which has been ergonomically designed to naturally weld to the hand.
One great feature I really love is the flipper on the side of the knife, making this knife a one-handed opener which permits the knife to be open single handily preventing any injuries to the fingers.
The flipper once the blade is opened is then used as a protector to stop your fingers slipping onto the blade but if that wasn’t enough, there is also a thumb groove towards the back of the blade to guide your thumb to the correct hold, so I love the fact that unless you go out of your way to stick your thumb on the blade which we can all agree would not only hurt but would be hugely irresponsible, this knife has been very carefully thought out to prevent you from injuring yourself while this blade is in use!

Uses
This is a general purpose knife ideal for hunting, fishing and trekking and it comes with the nylon belt pouch so is ideal for carrying on your belt using the horizontal or vertical belt loops on the pouch. It comes in a well presented box, ideal as gift for any occasion for anyone who collects or simply needs a new and practical blade.

Opinion
I’ve owned this knife for 6 months now, it’s my knife of choice when camping or hunting and I found it to be an extremely strong work horse! Even when it’s been covered in grime and dirt, it’s just a simple wash out under a tap and a quick lube, then it’s good to go again, it’s been so easy to maintain. I found the coating on the blade to be extremely durable and even after heavy use a quick oily rag gets this knife looking new again!

I’ve enjoyed using this blade and without a doubt it has been one of the most heavily used from my collection.

Walther Micro PPQ

The micro PPQ knife is 48mm and is made of 440 high performance stainless steel, it is black coated with the Walther trade to the side.
It has to be opened using both hands but the nail groove makes this easy and smooth to open.
It has a liner lock giving you that added strength and safety.
Although this knife is compact, it is not to be mistaken as a novelty knife, it may be small but it hold all the same features as a standard lock knife.
This micro knife features a stainless steel loop where you can thread Para chord through and perhaps hang it with a flint and fire starting kit.
The great thing about micro lockers is…if you’re out in the wild and you’re teamed with a knife like this, add a flint to this micro knife and it could potentially save your life in a survival situation. This is why survivalists are hopping on board and becoming big fans of these micro knives. They are discreet and easy to use whilst holding many of the same features as a large knife!
