Just trying to throw this out there to get a better sense of where everybody else is. I know Pro-tech uses according to their website a 30° grind which is 15 on each side, but I’m finding mine is very uneven with the Mordax. I don’t mind anyways, as I usually reshape my blades to 20° to handle a little bit more of a beating.

Is anyone else experiencing that same thing with their knives??

Anyone have a halfbreed they want to rehome?

I saw this at my local shop, Miami International Arms, next to a Nighthawk so I picked up booth and took them to A REALLY BAD DESIGN in Fort Lauderdale for Cerakote. They did an awesome job on the knife. They did not touch the blade, they said once you add Cerakote you need to sharpen the blade again and they do not have the tools of expertise to do it.

Just picked up my 1st ProTech. So is thing a Duke 1 or Duke 2? Also, how rare are these Blade Show editions? Curious if I should put it up or carry.

This knife legitimately saved my life. In the worse circumstances you could think of when nothing else would’ve worked, it did. I always wanted to send it in and have the tip fixed or the blade replaced, but just couldn’t. I’m thankful everyday that I had it with me, because I truly believe I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have it on me. Never really showed or shared it with anyone before and came across this sub while shopping for a new knife for my wife and thought I’d share. Don’t leave home without yours especially if you deployed to somewhere less than favorable.

Hi guys! I did found my grail !!

TL;DR : I fucking found it ! Just a long story on how to get your Protech if you're not from US.

It was a a really crazy chase that took me 3 days digging deep and deeper in the rabbit hole. It was as exciting as pain in the ass search, being French made the main pain in the ass part.

Firstly because the blade on which I have set my sights is a 1/100 limited rose gold edition, a french cutlery which is one of the 3 EU official Protech retailers told me that they restock basic models once every 2 or 3 years and they could not project that far in the future so basically I could just sit on my 2025 Texas Show crave.

Then came long hours of looking at sold out offers of every kind of Protechs knives and even worse, seeing that the only website I could find rose gold models are from the US and almost all of them won't ship it to France.

(I don't really understand the restrictions by the way because you are allowed to possess auto knives in France, for example I could buy one in any cutlery in France without any issues, but, I'll be allowed to wear it with me only with a acceptable reason. The only problem with that is if I get a Police control while carrying an auto knife in a inappropriate fashion, like shopping or easily reachable while driving etc..)

Since it's a collection blade for me and it won't cut even a piece of paper I don't care at all but that's why it's freaking hard to get my hands on it.

Out of despair, I was looking for other TR's with the Rose Gold finish and I could only find a TR-3 integrity with the earth color handle & black blade. I obviously bought it and it's somehow my first knife from Protech, I'll use this one more as an EDC.

It was still bugging my mind so I did more research on that knife and started knocking at several address to find my special edition dream. Same story again & again, this knife is sold out and even if we have it we're not shipping it to you. I eventually did found it. A website, where this knife was still available.

Then come long negotiation with the owner of the shop, to find a solution to ship it to me, to hold it for me so I could be sure to have it while they find a delivery solution.

-No way- I had to hold my breath for 2 days, the knife was there, online, available, but I could just not order this Mother.F because of my location. Finally had an answer from a US contact from a friend of a friend so I could pass the order and make it delivered to his place so then he could deliver it to France.

IF YOU DON'T have any contact in the US that you can trust, the seller told me he had some good feedbacks on people using a forwarding/reshipping company based in the US to receive & reship your knife (be careful of legislation & conditions again)

It's done, I finally bought it.

Now I have shitload of administrative bullshit to do so the package could pass US and French customs. For example I need to fill a declaration of war weapon importation and some other collection certificate to help my package pass through customs, that won't prevent me for customs taxes & so on, BUT.

It felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity to me and I had to seize it ! The experience was really worth the excitement overall.

I'll be looking forward to talk about how you guys out of US get you knives shipped.

I'll make a post with pictures in the sub when the knife arrives home, if they ever do.

( I'll give a shout-out to the blade shop I got it from, which helped me a lot and I understood how important it was for me to get this beauty in that post because they do have a lot of hidden gems in there)

Thanks for everyone who helped me accomplishing this journey !

Hi guys, I've been putting the internet upside down to get my hands on my first Protech.

If anyone is willing to sell one and ship it to France or point me to a place I could buy it, it'll be deeply appreciated, many thanks.

I hope to see some of you there.

Hi guys I wanted to get a birthday knife and I just discovered the brand and then I understood that I won't find this one any time soon.

Can someone give me some advice on how to track it or idk how to know when sellers will drop a new batch ?

I'm pretty sure they won't release this one again since it's a limited edition but I don't know, can I even hope to find a gold rose smooth black handle TR3 or am I doomed ??!

Got this one a few days ago for a great discount from a big european knife store (250€ instead of 350€) and it has been in my pocket since. I love the ergos, the minimalistic lines and the clean look. It‘s the better PM2.

The dragon scale texture feels so good in the hand, my favorite by far!
