His knives went to people who used them professionally, and the waiting list for one ran years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSteel Handles, Not Aluminum\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one runs 17-4 stainless handles, blasted and tumbled and then textured. Steel is heavier than aluminum and harder to machine, and almost nobody builds production folders out of it anymore because weight went out of style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the hand it feels like a different category of object. If you have only handled aluminum automatics, this will surprise you before you even open it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSapphire Blue\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is finished in sapphire blue, which against blasted grey steel and an abalone button is the whole color story. Abalone shifts green, blue, and pink depending on where you are standing, so the two play off each other as you turn the knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteel handles, a hand finished look, and a Brend blade profile, on an automatic you can actually buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomatic knives are restricted in some places, so check your state and local law before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProudly carrying American\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67585146880180,"sku":"BREND-CLASSIC-CUSTOM-002","price":665.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/4049\/4516\/files\/IMG_4630_d9b68586-dd21-4728-97e0-0f68cba2a08b.jpg?v=1791755515","url":"https:\/\/lonestarknife.com\/products\/pro-tech-brend-classic-auto-custom-002-walter-brend-design-sapphire-blue-magnacut-blasted-17-4-steel-handles-made-in-usa","provider":"Lone Star Knife \u0026 Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
