They build knives in Robbins, North Carolina with a reputation that came from people who carried their work professionally rather than from marketing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSteel Handles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e17-4 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlacked Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDLC on the blade, black hardware, and a DLC clip leave the knife with almost nothing that reflects.
