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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGold Against Black\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Knurling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnurling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirty were made, the smallest Pro-Tech run from this show other than the one offs.
