This one did not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSapphire Blue Against Black\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is black, the clip is black, the blade is stonewash grey. Everything on the knife is neutral except the hardware, which is anodized sapphire blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole design. Color appears only where the screws and pivot are, so the blue reads as a detail you notice on the second look rather than the thing the knife is about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKnurled, Not Textured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnurling is cut into the aluminum on a lathe rather than blasted or sprayed on. It gives a consistent diamond grip that does not wear smooth, and it is why a knurled handle feels different in the hand than a textured one even when they look similar in a photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThumb Stud\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Avalon here opens by hand rather than by button, which means it carries in places a Pro-Tech automatic cannot. The thumb studs are satin, so they sit against the black handle without drawing attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Pro-Tech Knives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePro-Tech builds its knives in Placentia, California. Automatics are what they are known for, and the fit on a Pro-Tech is most of the reason these cost what they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProudly carrying American\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67604882849972,"sku":"CCKSF26.Avalon.1","price":360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/4049\/4516\/files\/PNW_3247Large.jpg?v=1793030890","url":"https:\/\/lonestarknife.com\/products\/pro-tech-avalon-4-25-stonewash-a-421-black-knurled-aluminum-sapphire-blue-hardware-thumb-stud-serialized-of-20-ccks-fall-2026-made-in-usa-ccksf26-avalon-1","provider":"Lone Star Knife \u0026 Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
