Last Sunday, Jack used a knife of his own the first time in the season. Can someone ID it ?
It was auto or assisted and only used to cut some plastic cuffs, visible for a second only.

If history repeats itself, it's probably a Microtech. He really made H.A.L.O. a knife that even non-knife people came to know. The blade does not appear to have the clip point or tanto profile that I know on the H.A.L.O., nor does the handle/finger guard look correct, nor does the hand position for deploying the SA (or a DA) OTF look quite right, so I am guessing that probably is not the HALO or at least the generation I know of.

It appears he is pinching it with the thumb in a position to deploy a more traditional out-the-side automatic, but the image isn't super clear and I am yet to see the episode?

Someone who knows MTs really well may be able to identify it. To my understanding, Jack Bauer's usage of the H.A.L.O. built a strong working relationship between Sutherland and Marfione, so it would not surprise me if Microtech was producing knives for them at all as there is no advertising on the planet that can match that kind of publicity (similar to ZT knives commonly seen on NCIS).
 
Not quite sure, but I know in the early seasons there were a few Microtechs in the mix even though this does not look like one at all.
 
I have tried better screenshots from the file, but the above is as good as I can get it. It is not even a half second that you can see the blade. The Paraframe blade seems too short. Also, the knife from the scene seems to have serrations all over it ...

Here is a screen grab from the beginning of the episode when Jack is collecting his equipment at the US Embassy.

 
Close, but you got me looking in the right direction and a search on BladeHQ, revealed it's a SOG TAC.

I bought my dad one of these for his birthday. He absolutely loves it. It's a surprisingly well built auto for the money. Very fast and solid lockup. I was pleasantly surprised and it's made me want to grab one for myself now. Looks good in red too👍
