Pro-Tech Duke 2 - BST26 Purple / Magnacut

Blade Show Texas exclusive. Purple aluminum. MagnaCut automatic.

The Duke 2 is Pro-Tech's most compact automatic, and this version came back from Blade Show Texas 2026. Purple 6061 aluminum handle, machine MagnaCut blade, white pearl button, satin hardware, and satin clip. Everything is dialed and nothing is wasted. At 2.19 oz it is one of the lightest automatics Pro-Tech makes, and it carries like it.

Compact and Ready The Duke 2 runs a 6.20" overall length with a 2.65" blade, which puts it in a category most automatics don't touch.

• Light enough to forget about in a pocket
• Enough blade for real daily use
• Pro-Tech action in a package this size is hard to beat

This is the automatic you carry when you don't want to think about carrying an automatic.

Purple 6061 Aluminum Handle The purple handle makes this version its own thing.

• Lightweight and sturdy
• White pearl button adds contrast
• Satin hardware and clip keep the finish cohesive throughout

It's a bold color choice that works because the rest of the knife doesn't compete with it.

MagnaCut Performance CPM MagnaCut brings a balanced, real-world performance package to a platform that already deploys fast and holds up over time.

• Strong edge retention
• Outstanding corrosion resistance
• Toughness that holds up under daily use

Machine satin finish keeps maintenance simple and the look clean.

Pro-Tech Push Button Automatic The Duke 2 uses Pro-Tech's signature coil spring automatic.

• One button fires the blade
• Fast, snappy, and consistent
• Button lock keeps the blade secure open and closed

Pro-Tech has been building automatics in Placentia, California since 1994. The action on the Duke 2 is exactly what you expect from that track record.

Blade Show Texas 2026 This knife came back from Blade Show Texas 2026. It is not a standard production colorway. If you want the purple Duke 2, this is the only place to get it.

Made in the USA Pro-Tech machines and assembles every knife in-house in Placentia, California. Tight tolerances, consistent action, ready to carry out of the box.

Why This One Stands Out The Duke 2 is already a hard knife to improve on at this size and price. The purple aluminum and white pearl button make this version one you'll actually notice in a tray.

It's small, it's fast, and it came from a knife show. Those don't sit long
