ProTech automatic knives perform. The Brend 3 resolves the question of size. The Brend 1 is huge and the Brend 2 is great for a small everyday carry knife, but the Brend 3 is the perfect medium sized automatic knife. At 9" open, it is big enough to do just about any job you throw at it. This Brend 3 has USA stamped on the T6-6061 anodized aluminum handle. Great for a true patriot. A quality knife that displays your love of the USA. The 154CM stainless steel blade rates a 59 RC on the hardness scale and the 4" blade stays sharp. This is a top flight auto knife from one of the best manufacturers in the world. With it's distinct handle, this knife would also look great in any collection.
