The Sapphire Blue Blade

Color on a blade this deep comes from a coating applied in a vacuum chamber, not from paint or dye, so it is a hard layer that wears the way a finish should. Sapphire reads darker than an anodized blue and it shifts toward purple depending on how the light hits it.

Grey, Blue, and Abalone

Grey handles keep the blade as the loudest thing on the knife, and the abalone button picks up the blue without matching it exactly. Abalone is real shell, so no two buttons look the same and the color moves as you turn it.

Walter Brend

Walter Brend spent decades building fighters and hard use knives by hand, and the grind and profile work is what people buy a Brend for. Pro-Tech putting that design on an automatic chassis is how most people will ever get to carry one.

Why This One Stands Out

Fifty were made against eighty of the black version, and this is the one with color. If you are picking between the two NYCKS Brends, this is the showpiece.

An Automatic

Push button automatics are restricted in a number of states and cities. Worth checking your state and local law before you order.

About Pro-Tech Knives

Pro-Tech builds its knives in Placentia, California. Automatics are what they are known for, and the action on a Pro-Tech button is most of the reason these cost what they do.
