This version of the SBR has a DLC coated S35VN blade, black hard anodized aluminum frame and USN black and green G10 top. Limited run of 100.

Brand new, direct from Protech Knives, USA.

Blade: The SBR comes with a compact, EDC friendly blade of American CPM-S35VN stainless steel offering plenty of cutting edge while still retaining the classic full-bellied lines of the Rockeye. A spine swedge delivers a fine point for piercing power and detail work. Durable black DLC or Diamond-Like Carbon offers a discreet and corrosion resistant finish. The blade deploys via a button operated coil spring mechanism for fast, smooth deployment.

Handle: The ergonomic handle consists of a 6061-T6 black hard anodized aluminum frame and layered G10 top that provides a comfortable grip and smooth pocket transition. Made for the USN 2021 Gathering XII, providing “G XII” is milled on the top indicating the year of production and providing added traction. “# of 100” is engraved on the frame in white. The smooth, reliable button lock mechanism provides secure lockup and ease of operation, ideal for this highly utilitarian design.

Carries via a right-hand deep carry clip.

CPM-S35VN: Modified CPM-S30V designed for improved toughness (15-20%) and ease of machining and polishing. Well-balanced for daily use, S35VN has a slight decrease in edge retention and higher corrosion resistance, close to AISI 420.
