PRO TECH USA
I thought I'd better post this thing before it gets all scratched up.
Straying from the usual folders I can not deny the sleek looks, quality of design and impressive construction of some tactical knives. I have very little experience to draw from. I know I like this one.
Pro Tech 4.
Any one else got a Pro Tech. Show them here if you like.
Thanks for looking.

Re: PRO TECH USA
l only have this one. Love the sleek, minimalist design and black matte finish; however, I wish it had a slide-lock on the release button to prevent accidental deployment inside the pocket. (Not a major issue, though, since I don't ever carry it.)

They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.

Re: PRO TECH USA
Oh Greg, I wish this were the only time I've gone off the rails.
I'm glad you like them too.
Monk, thanks for showing that great looking knife. They are a nice knife for sure.
Q, That is minimalist for sure. A very smart looking knife. Thank you for showing that.

Re: PRO TECH USA
Joe, I use to have one that looked like this. The GodfatherTuxedo with white micarta handle.
I gave it to my son in law because it was so Scary Sharp, I was afraid it was going to pop open in my pocket and either rip my pants or cut my leg while I was at work

Re: PRO TECH USA
Nice one, Mitch. Looks like Monks.
I'm assuming the button is recessed to the surface of the handle.
I cant blame you, I wouldn't want that thing to switch in my pocket.

Re: PRO TECH USA
Hello Folks ,
I usually stay with the older stuff, but here lately I have been eye-balling USA made autos that have a place for use if needed and some just because they are where I may be at or in that point in time.
Some times there is a place when this may be needed, but not to often.......especially in the Land Of Shooting stuff.
Here is my Pro Tech Godfather in Blue Jazz, made me wanna put on Herbie Hancock's Head Hunter LP just thinking about doing the pitcher
Have a Good One,

Re: PRO TECH USA
I can tell you as the "smallest Protech dealer in the U.S." that this is , without a doubt, the best knife company in the world to deal with. Not to mention the quality is second to none for manufactured knives. Had to rant a minute, thx.

Re: PRO TECH USA
I'm liking ProTech myself.
The God Father was shown in Tuxedo.
My next "store" purchase is slated to be the God Son in Tuxedo.
I'm not experienced with their quality but I like the family business model, and they ARE very creative in their designs.
Nice score, and thanks for posting it!

Re: PRO TECH USA
Well Mary's bells!
I am VERY happy to know you are a member as well Joe.
Once I was over the 2 dollar knife phase, your GodSon was the first auto I wanted. Not the first I bought however...
I have a few 2-3 hundred dollar autos I hate. Strong word but true. They just do not touch my inner N.Y.C. kid days. The 60's thru 70's were when real tough guys carried knives. (guns were for the REAL tough guys). I grew up on autos. CHEAP autos.
I never knew that people were making NICE knives until a few months ago. See what the 60's, and 70's did to some of us?
Today I KNOW the God Son was the knife I was supposed to buy. (Girlfriend just saw this... hell is coming~~~~~)
I'm a big fan of giant folders, normal sized flippers, and small autos. Keep a knifes design in it's comfort zone... That's my feeling on that.
The GodFather, and Son are IMHO what a traditional "Italian Switchblade" were always meant to be. Sleek, and elegant!
Soooo On topic! I love your designs from the stock configuration(s) all the way up to your customs. Someone there has "IT" in spades!
Kudos to ProTech!!!!!
Glad you posted this thread OP!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for sidetracking but this is my wish for all...

Re: PRO TECH USA
I don't have a pro tech but I have a copy made by ganzo and it's really nice so I can imagine the real deal is much better! It's a tr4 copy and as most Ganzo's it's done rather well. If I ever hit some money on the lotto a real tr4 is on top of the list, then the don!
