The Proof Run Clip
These came out of the NYX V2 proof run and they carry an engraved machined clip rather than the standard one.
A machined clip starts as a solid billet instead of bent sheet, which is why it holds its tension over years of pocket carry instead of relaxing. The engraving is what marks it as proof run, and it is not something later production carries.
Two Tone, Blacked Out
A two tone blade means the finish is taken back on part of the blade so you get two surfaces instead of one flat coating. Against a black tactical chassis and black hardware, the blade is the only place anything on this knife changes.
Double Action OTF
Push the thumb slide forward and the blade fires. Pull it back and the blade retracts. Both directions run off the same mechanism, so there is nothing to find with your other hand.
At 3.6 ounces with a 3.62 inch blade, the NYX is a full size OTF that does not carry like one.
Why the Tanto
The tanto puts a second edge at the front at an angle to the main one, leaving a lot of steel behind the point. On an OTF, where the blade fires into whatever happens to be in front of it, that is the geometry you want if you care about the tip.
An Automatic
Out the front automatics are restricted in a number of states and cities. Worth checking your state and local law before you order.
