I'm genuinely proud to own Protech knives. American ingenuity and craftsmanship. Best of all, nothing hits like a Protech!
Dave is such a nice guy, everytime I go to bladeshow he's there managing the booth and is so down to earth you'd never guess he's the President of the company. He even handed me the show winning blade valued at $20,000 without any hesitation just to show off the craftsmanship because I was already so impressed with the production model and was going on about how big a fan I was of their work not even realizing who he was. Great company, great knives, a must-have in any knife guys collection.
!
I agree. I bought a special blade show knife from him in 2019 #50 of 50 and saw it a month or two later on Blade HQ for less than I paid at blade show. I sent him an email questioning it and he sent me a free knife. Great man and company!
Protech is friendly in general. I’m 18 but I look like I’m 14 or 15 or something and Protech was the only booth that asked what I was looking for. I went up to 3 other booths and only one of them said hi. The other two looked at me in silence. I just left the knife show after that.
They should do a non auto version of the “GodFather” with a flipper tab and call it the “Step Father” lol
But then people would hate it. No matter how hard it tried, how much it made good by its name, how much dedication it made to treating you right, it just would be your real father :(
Or Father in Law because it would be ca legal….
My son and I met Dave at blade show - the guy is a class act, professional and passionate about his brand and craft. Add that to a product that is the gold standard for production knives = a client and enthusiast for life. Dave and Protech are first rate. IMO.
I've struggled to justify paying as much money for a knife as a Protech costs but after seeing this? Definitely something I want to get my hands on. Thanks Talon! And thank you to Dave for giving us an inside look!
I cant pay for the higher end protechs but i did buy a protech TR-3 it was around $140 brand new. Its been my edc for a while now i love it
The expertise in that production facility is why it’s well worth the money to own a Protech, you will never be disappointed ..
Man, since I got my first Protech I'm totally sold. The quality is top-notch.
Just ordered a protech Malibu can't wait to get it in hand. Protech rocks!
This is so rad!!!!
sick
Yo what's up pete
Instablaster...
Dave always seems like the nicest guy in the knife industry
hes the dave grohl of knives
I finally got my new invicus auto. Love it...
Thank you Dave and crew..
The level of care and detail that goes into every protech is why I am waiting for a restock and have been for a month on the knife I want.
I have considered getting another auto (like the Benchmade 9400/940 Auto) but Protech is next level and worth waiting for.
Plus, Dave is a helluva guy.
Picked up the Godson and just ordered the Godfather both in blacked out version. Thanks Talon for the Pro Tech Factory Tour. After seeing how and what goes into the knives that I purchased makes me feel that each one was worth every penny. Awesome video brother!
Picked up a godfather today from a local dealer because of this video, thanks for doing this. awesome knife.
Love ProTech. I was able to grab a Malibu a couple of months ago and it lives up to the hype
Protech is a great company. Love my Tr3. Dave is a great guy who will take the time to give you personal service no matter how much money your spending with him.
Think I'll drop my Protech in my pocket for my run to town today. Nice living in a state where autos are legal.
Protech is incredible. Love the patriotic approach and still made by real people and true craftsmanship. Love the tour.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Dave from Protech is awesome! what a great guy, and a true gentleman in the knife industry! seems like the type of guy who would give anyone a protech knife just to see and feel the experience of owning an incredible knife! great content Talon!
Wow, Protech knives are something to be proud owning. A lot of care goes into each and every one!
This is awesome I’d love to work here and actually build these knives. So badass. I love the look of the new Malibu. Hoping a batch gets released soon.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Love Protech and am looking forward to this next release!
How I never seen this I don't know ProTech is my absolute favorite knife company I love the knives and the customer service
This would be my dream job no lie, I’m already in heat treating right now, and the knives are always my fav things we run! I want to get more into a specific brand and work
I bought a Malibu. I received it literally 2 days ago. I don’t even own an auto…😩. I have fallen in love with Pro-Tech. This Malibu is so crisp… so perfect. The geometry is great.. it’s super sharp… it looks AMAZING… the quality is top notch and better than most including your favorite big companies you can name in your head … got em?…. Yea this is better. Something about these knives just speaks to me… Pro-Tech is now my favorite brand and I will be buying more! You just have to buy it.. try it.. and then you will understand. You have to see for yourself! Amazing! The Malibu hype is real.. and now I know why! This is my favorite knife period! I haven’t tried the Rockeye auto or the Strider auto so maybe that could change but idk… the manual fidgety ability of the Malibu… it’s just perfect. It is the perfect knife!
I picked up my first Protech - TR-5 last week. I must admit this knife is fantastic...price can always be subjective based on budget, history, and need/use, but I am now a fan for sure. Solid quality at every level IMO. I hope to add additional version in the future.
Me and my son met Dave at the NY knife show. He was so nice to my son. Told my son he was a teacher before protec. After that my son said his first knife had to be a godson. He got his black and red godson after hunting around for months. Was a great experience. A really cool down to earth guy.
Love the behind the scenes look at the production process! Fascinating! 👍👍👍
Love my Protech. My bucket list has an entry damascus automatic on the top.
What a gorgeous First Class Facility! Proud to currently own 3 Pro Tech autos!
Unknowingly I purchased a few Protech autos and really appreciate them more after seeing this original informative video. Good job!
Soooooo freekin awesome! Protech is top-shelf love for all😍🇺🇸
GREAT video man...and thanks to Protech for letting us see behind the scenes!
One of the best OTS knife makers around. Never a disappointment.
The guys at Pro-Tech are awesome! They made the Sprint I bought for my wife for our anniversary extra rad.
That was fun! I love my Protech knives (5). Now I love them even more after watching this. Thank you kind sir!
I already had the appreciation. This video just made that grow times 1000 for sure !
I’m a Protech owner and have many .. most recently the Malibu and Runt5 .. digging them big time. Great video guys .
I'm so proud to own a Pro-Tech!
I freaking love everything about protech!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Talon! Dave seems like a really cool guy. Thanks for the tour and the info.
I didn't know much about protech. I'm very impressed, my next knife will be a Protech now.
I freaking love protech. I am new to the new/EDC community and I own 3 protechs. Just got my hands on a Malibu and it is my favorite in my collection so far.
He's the second gentleman I watch today working with metal and wearing a black Submariner. Gotta appreciate quality appreciation :)
My SBR is the best auto I've ever had hands down, and my favorite knife I'm general
Great video! just got my first Pro-Tech! I went with the runt 5 and my next will be the protech emerson
Wow...the mother of pearl and ingraved godfather is breathtaking! Keep it up protech.
Love Protech....Dave is so good for the knife community
Awesome tour from start to finish. I just ordered my first ProTech: TR4 all black with feather handles. Should be getting it Tuesday. I hope it won’t be a disappointment. Thanks for the video!
Just bought the godson can’t wait to get it 👍👍👍
Amazing video! Can’t wait to get my Malibu magnacut wharnie tomorrow! Awesome company and people
Love me a Protech! That was amazing
Protech makes the best autos hands down!
Loved the Tour and a nice clean shop says something about a Company....
Have spent a lot of $$$ on all my protechs over the years, I consider it money well spent!!!!! Carry one everyday
Awesome tour! Man Dave from protech is so humble Thanks Talon I'll be keeping my eyes out for a Black Malibu!
This video was epic! Thank you Talon. Superb job.
Huge fan of Protech! Best value knives I own.
Protech some of the best knives out there I personally own 4.
Bought my first protech, SBR Del Fuego edition. Excellent blade, love using it with my gloves on
Love all my Protech knives! Looking forward to this new Operator model Godfather. Would prefer deep carry clip like some of their other knives, but I can always add later. My favorite is the Magic "Whiskers" BR-1 (own a few variants of those, too).
Awesome work! Your music selection and volume is perfect.
Recently got my first protech. It’s awesome. Definitely will be buying more.
Gotta love the shop tours. @protechknives is such a great American company. It's so awesome to see the hard work that goes into there products. It gives even more of an appreciation for the awesome knives they create. Nice work! 😀👍🔪
That's my boy Rene!!! Gettin It!! ❤
I got to tell you I've always wanted a godfather and I wasn't able to get one until I found vendors that used sezzle...... Now I'm on godfather number 4 another operator just like seen here.... I was even able to snag unlimited edition anodized blue godfather with abalone firing button. Awesome knives
I have an abalone firing button on one but a little disappointed because I bought it on line and it was advertised as mother of pearl. Oh well I’ll eventually get one with mother of pearl cause I just ordered my second Protech thanks to Sezzle
Had a spring break in my Protech great people to deal with had my knife back in under 3 weeks and no charge.
Love my Protech autos but my most carried EDC is my Protech TR3 Manual Integrity.
Best auto fastest release knife I have ever owned
Tr3 is my best friend at work. Magnacut is every blue collared workers dream blade steel low maintenance
When you only got one hand you need an automatic. Especially on a ladder. I beat the absolute shit out of my tr3 and it’s proven me right for spending the amount I spent on it more and more
😂 I have two hands. You always gotta tool in the opposite hahd
Awesome video showing how the knifes are made!👍 Those knifes are a piece of art!
Pro tech is a high quality knife at a good price
Looking good Rene!!!
Great video Talon thanks for sharing. I love Pro Techs 👍🏻
Awesome video Talon, Its good to see other people that are into this kind of thing, I find it so fascinating. It was cool to see some of the behind the scenes, can't wait until I have some more money to blow. Keep up the great content
Tell Dave to get busy making more Malibus. I really want the reverse tanto but there are none to be found.
Time to get one! Thx for the walk through
Top ! Pro-Tech is amazing and awesome knife ! I have one of it !
All black Malibu is KILLER 👌🏼
This is super cool. Your new knives videos/reviews will be great too
I didn't realize they were so close to me! I appreciate them making lefty models. I love my murdered out left handed TR-3. Great video T!
I have that stonewashed with satin flat SBR it looks great under the light. Cool to know how they did that
Love my protechs. I have a custom sprint with Bruce Shaw engraving and mother of pearl inlays that is a pease of art.
Great Video. I want the Malibu Flipper so badly
This is great. Top quality knives and operation.
Awesome video. Love these shop tours and love Protech knives.
I've owned everything from Chris Reeves to Microtech..But for whatever reason, I've never owned a Pro-Tech. I just ordered a Runt 5 as a result of this video 😋
“A couple feet by a few feet” 😂😂
Interesting......
Excellent Craftsmanship
I think I would have to see these knives in person to really appreciate them!!!
Watched this, bought the knife. It's awesome.
Awesome video! Thanks for making it possible.
Damn son that second sleeve is coming along quick
Great video, Thanks for the inside look of one of the truly fantastic knife brands.
I have a protech knive its a perfection craftmaship.
This was an awesome vid to watch while sharpening my mini kryo
I may be missing a paycheck...but I am now in possession of both a 3D Wave sprint with abalone inlays and a plain Jane Malibu. have to say, they really do hit it out of the park on fit and finish 🥶
Good session.
Killer vid - ProTech such a great company 💥💥🔥
Ooooh I’m so jelly
Sick Video, Thanks. Dave Rules!
I just bought a Sprint for a watch-pocket knife to carry when I carry my Leatherman Free P4 in my main pocket, I needed something its size or slightly larger for that pocket and I’ve always been curious about Pro-Techs. Generally, if I don’t carry my Leatherman, I carry various US Spydercos (one of each model aside from the Military that they offer in both S30V and S110V, plus a Maxamet Paramilitary 2) depending on what I’m doing and where. None of them, due to size, shape, or both, will ride stealthily and comfortably in the watch pocket of my jeans when I carry my Leatherman, though, so I had to try something different.
I’m confident that my Sprint will be one of the nicest knives I own (I should have it in a few days) if they put the same care and precision into them as they do their larger, more expensive offerings, and I look forward to years of faithful service from it. Shame they don’t build more regular production knives in S35VN, it’s a FANTASTIC steel, maybe my favorite. I’m glad the Sprint is one that they do. Cool video, try to do more like this one if you can.
