Brand new, direct from Protech Knives, USA.

Blade: The American 154CM stainless steel drop point blade delivers solid daily carry performance with a high saber grind for balanced slicing and durability. Satin finished and coated in Sapphire Blue PVD, this blade makes its presence known. The blade deploys via an Abalone inlaid button, operating an automatic coil spring mechanism for fast, smooth one-handed operation.

Handle: 6061-T6 aluminum makes the Tactical Response both tough and lightweight with a black hard anodized finish that is durable and non-reflective. Milled grooves on the front reduce weight, increase traction and enhance the visual appeal. Subtle jimping around the handle helps with indexing and adds traction. Black hardware rounds and a generous lanyard hole round out the construction.

Carries via a right-hand, tip up DLC coated, stainless steel pocket clip.

Crucible 154CM: Originally developed as a stainless bearing steel, 154CM is an improved version of 440C with added molybdenum that offers improved resistance to pitting from corrosion, higher hardness for better edge retention and toughness similar to 440C. Similar to Hitachi ATS-34.
