A Manual Avalon

The Avalon is known as an automatic, and this is the version that opens with a thumb stud instead. It keeps the button lock, so closing it feels the same, but it carries anywhere an auto cannot go. For a lot of buyers that is the only reason this configuration exists.

Gold Against Black

Yellow gold hardware and a gold lip pearl button on a black knurled handle is a deliberate choice, and it is not subtle. Gold lip pearl is shell cut from the gold rimmed edge of the oyster, so the warm color is natural rather than plated, and it shifts as the light moves.

The Knurling

Knurling is rolled into the aluminum under pressure rather than cut away, which leaves a raised diamond grid that grips in the hand. It holds up better than a milled pattern because nothing was removed to make it.

Why This One Stands Out

Thirty were made, the smallest Pro-Tech run from this show other than the one offs. A manual Avalon with gold and pearl is not a combination that comes back.
