Why Manual Matters Here
The Integrity line is Pro-Tech's answer to the fact that automatic knives are illegal to carry in a lot of places. It is a TR-3, which is one of the knives the company built its name on, with thumb studs instead of a spring.
Same handle, same blade, same button lock feel. You can carry it anywhere a folding knife is legal, which the automatic version cannot say.
Black Lip Pearl on Purple
Black lip pearl is shell from the black lipped oyster, darker and more iridescent than white pearl, shifting green and blue depending on the angle.
On a build where the blade, the studs, the hardware, and the clip are all black, it is the only thing on the knife that is not a flat color. Against purple it reads closer to a dress knife than the Integrity usually does.
Double Thumb Studs
Studs on both sides, so it opens the same whether you are right or left handed. On a manual that is the difference between a knife that works for everybody and one that works for most people.
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, and it is what keeps the blade matching the blacked out hardware.
