Pro-Tech and Spartan Blades

Spartan Blades was founded by Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey, both retired Army Special Forces. They build knives in Robbins, North Carolina with a reputation that came from people who carried their work professionally rather than from marketing.

Pairing that with Pro-Tech's automatic mechanisms is a sensible match. Spartan knows what a blade needs to do. Pro-Tech has been building the springs and buttons in Placentia since 1999.

Steel Handles

17-4 is a precipitation hardening stainless that gets its strength from heat treatment, and it takes a blast and tumble finish better than most. Steel scales put real weight in the hand, which changes how the knife fires and how it sits in a pocket compared to the aluminum Pallas.

Blacked Out

DLC on the blade, black hardware, and a DLC clip leave the knife with almost nothing that reflects. The black lip pearl button is the exception, and it only shows itself when the light moves across it.

Why This One Stands Out

Forty were built for one show, in the heaviest and darkest configuration the Pallas comes in. Show customs do not get reordered or reissued in another colorway later.

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.
