Protech Knives Les George Rockeye Operator DLC S35VN Smooth Black Aluminum Automatic LG303

Protech and custom maker Les George have teamed up again to deliver his iconic Rockeye custom design in a US made, full production automatic. It retains the same key design features of this custom and has all the modern materials, high tech manufacturing, advanced coil spring mechanism, and quality American production that is the foundation of any Protech knife. This Operator Series version has a sterile, black DLC coated CPM-S35VN stainless steel blade, matching black anodized aluminum handles and black hardware with tritium inlaid button.

Brand new, direct from Protech Knives, USA.

Blade: A full sized tactical automatic, the Rockeye has a nearly 3.5-inch CPM-S35VN stainless steel blade with high saber grind and forward swedge for balanced performance and durability. The Operator series comes with sterile, unmarked blades finished with durable black DLC for a non-reflective and corrosion resistant finish. Coil spring automatic deployment is fast, smooth and reliable at the touch of a button, which is easy to find in low light conditions thanks to the tritium vial inlay. George's trademark scalloped thumb ramp offers traction and leverage for powerful cuts.

Handle: Smooth, black hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum delivers lightweight durability, with chamfered edges for comfort. The clean, simple handle design has a closed back, faux integral construction to protect the edge when closed. Tapering toward the pommel, the neutral handle is comfortable in a variety of grips and has a deep index choil and integral guard for safe use. The button lock is rock solid and smooth in operation. All black hardware and a generous lanyard hole round out the construction.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, black DLC stainless steel pocket clip.

CPM S35VN: was designed to offer improved toughness over CPM S30V. It is also easier to machine and polish than CPM S30V and the adjusted chemistry makes CPM S35VN about 15-20% tougher than CPM S30V without any loss of wear resistance. CPM S35VN’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping.
