Protech SBR Auto Blue Handle Black Blade

The Protech Knives SBR (Short Bladed Rockeye) is a utilitarian, compact, every-day-carry version of the Les George iconic Rockeye model, retaining the classic design in a smaller package. The SBR has the same American innovations as the Rockeye, featuring modern materials, high tech manufacturing, advanced coil spring mechanism, and quality American production. This version has a black DLC coated S35VN blade, blue hard anodized aluminum handles and black hardware.

Brand new, direct from Protech Knives, USA.

Blade: The SBR comes with an EDC friendly +2.5 inch blade of American CPM-S35VN stainless steel. It has plenty of cutting edge for utility work while retaining its classic full-bellied lines. A nearly half-length swedge delivers a fine point for piercing while a durable, black Diamond-Like Carbon or DLC coating holds up to wear and corrosion while being discreetly non-reflective. The blade deploys via a button operated coil spring mechanism that is fast and smooth giving you quick access when the seconds count. The George logo is proudly engraved on the back.

Handle: The ergonomic, hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle provides an ergonomic feel in a variety of grips and deploys smoothly from the pocket for use. The button lock mechanism provides reliable lockup and smooth operation. The button, clip and hardware are black coated complementing the blade.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, deep carry 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.
