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.
Blacked Out on Purpose
Pro-Tech runs the Pallas with pearl buttons, damascus blades, and textured anodized handles. This is the one that does none of that. Black handle, black blade, blasted hardware, black clip.
It is the version for someone who wants the Spartan collaboration as a knife to carry rather than a knife to look at.
DLC Over MagnaCut
MagnaCut already handles corrosion better than most stainless. DLC is a hard carbon coating layered on top, so it adds abrasion resistance rather than just color.
On a blade this size that matters. At 3.7 inches the Pallas is the largest of Pro-Tech's button lock autos, and it gets used accordingly.
