You sold me this one but I got it in all black I hope you feel good about yourself spending our money like that
For me personally, the TR3 is the perfect knife. The only thing they can perhaps do to make it 'better' is to use a better blade steel but then again, 154CM is nothing to scoff at. I love the ergonomics, I love the size, I love the geometry, I love the aesthetics. I love the way the blade fires out.
Love the griptilian comparison! I carry a griptilian for edc as a construction worker and am very familiar with its size, so this comparison is awesome for me. I had a Godfather and loved it. Definitely fired harder than most any automatic side out I have owned. Only thing close has been my microtech ludt. I have been wanting a tr3, and this review solidified my decision. I will get the lefthanded version, even though I typically carry righthand
Love it just got it today loving ❤
Waiting for my left handed version to get here from bhq
Protech is nbr 1 when it comes to OTS.
I got this knife about a month ago and it’s quickly become one of my favorites
Got mine in cpms45vn, very well built.
Pretty much perfect edc.
This is a beautiful piece! I'm not generally attracted to autos, but this is calling out to me. I already have you to thank for a PM2 in copper, on the way, now this. You're costing me a lot of money!
Awesome!! I jus picked up my first Pro-Tech. I got the Pro-Tech Emerson cqc7 and I’m really digging it!!
I finally got my hands-on a TR-4. Does anybody else think they are super rare and hard to get?
The fish-scale stonewashed version of the TR3 was my first ProTech and I love it! 👍🤠
Of all the knives in the TR line from Protech, this is my absolute favorite. Love love LOVE the TR-3! I own 3 and plan on picking them up as both an EDC and a collection. Their 154CM is really good and as long as the presentation side has some kind of texturing, it is good to go for me. Can't beat the fact that it's a quality USA made small-batch knife from a hardworking crew over at Pro-Tech!
Love my TR-3. I’ve actually found the grooves help more with traction than I thought they would. Overall one of my favorite protechs as well as one of my overall favorites. And yeah MC the pearl button means it’s the TR-3 LTD. Wish I had gotten this one over the normal beadblast blade I picked up. That satin blade is really nice looking. Thanks for the look and review MC
Mother's polish and u can turn the bead blast into a close finish like the satin
I have the Magnacut version coming so naturally I’m watching videos on the TR3. Thanks MC!
One of the few knife companies that make a left handed auto, It’s my favorite auto, great company to deal with, you can’t go wrong when buying Protech
There’s an operator version (all black, no markings, tritium button) of this right now with the fish scale pattern.
Just ordered the bladehq exclusive in fish scale grip and s45vn. Great price with the upgrades compared to just the 154cm.
Yeah I’m about to order the same one. How do you like it so far
@@jojojaykay got it yesterday and is a solid nice knife. I’m about to order the other exclusive with the different grip. You won’t regret it at all. The standard grip model will be my carry knife, while the fish scale will stay put. I’d love to buy a tr4 or 5 but I just don’t want to pay that price for 154cm. I get it, it’s a great steel but eh. I’m used to the higher end steels.
I'm just glad they have it in lefthanded.
Waiting for the operator new release all black with the tritium button. Incredible . My microtech ludt 25th anniversary with m390 shows up today. Thanks for the review.
Got the exact same version. The MOP button 😍
Awesome review man! Thanks for giving it some love! One of my favorites in the lineup!
I'd like an extended version of this,, with maybe a tiny bit thicker but longer 4.5inch blade and with the corresponding handle length to accomodate it.
Robert, check out the TR-4 LTD, not quite as large as you were describing but a full 4” blade
Picked up the TR-3 left handed, been wanting a left handed auto
I had the very good luck to pick up a left-handed version the last time they did a run. Fantastic knife! Very much appreciate them thinking about us southpaws. Picking up the lefty Godson next, and then it will be waiting on the lefty Godfather!
I've had this in blue jazz finish with stonewashed blade for about four years.
I don't carry it for fear of scratching finish.
Gonna buy another and use it as edc and beat on it.
Love their customer service.
Dave, owner of the company will personally e mail you if you have any problems.
Great people.
Looking good. Seems to be very well made. Nice clean and simple design. Good review, thanks for sharing.👍
I just got mine yesterday in a better steel. All are good though. Yes, I agree with you, fantastic knife. Good looking and built like a well-made knife.
I have this knife with a bead blasted blade it's an awesome knife around $150 and USA made is perfect. Have you seen the operator series of this knife that will be coming out soon? Its all blacked out and it has a tritum insert in the push button. Looks badass!
Great company. Great customer service. Great knife.
The tr-3 swat is one of my main work knives. Love this knife
I been dying to get my hands on a protech sng... Bummed I can't get one.
Was the Mariana's Trench reference a nod to August Burns Red, or something more literal?
Hey I just wanted to reiterate it @metalcomplex that this doesn't run on any type of washers it just runs on straight aluminum from the handles, there is nothing.
It's great that he also makes this knife for left-handers. It is quite difficult to get a quality knife for a lefty, especially in the Czech Republic. But in the end I managed to buy it, even though it was $ 227. Even so, I'm glad I have him.
Very nice. I'm torn between buying the TR3 or the LUDT.What do you think?
Honesty this isn't really an answer but that is an absolute toss-up both are phenomenal knives from fantastic companies
Awesome I want one
great review. looks awesome!
I hated the fact I can’t own those but my state finally made them legal.
Is that a hollow grind?
I’ve been waiting for another run of a specific Newport for my first ProTech, but that looks like a good knife.
I got a brand new one looking to trade it for something else
Does it fire as hard as the Benchmade Adamas?
I own 3 of em
Thats an odd way to pronounce mircotech...since I know i heard you say best automatics 😉
*side opening* 😉
Not a spiderco. Fan
"If you're carrying it properly" 👈 a common comment from an idiot who thinks he knows more than everybody else.
an idiot who carries his knife the wrong way ☝️
You know...im so tired of the tr3 getting so much praise..its a (flawed) design..it has multiple reports of the blade rebounding and not locking..mine included...i don't care how many years it's been in production it's a known issue that protech has to be aware of...if it comes to a shtf situation in other words life or death scenario and it fails to lock and just rebounds well that would or could be a life changer..mine was rebounding out of the box..i don't care what kind of customer service protech has...they need to start by doing a few adjustments to stop it from happening...my godfather has never ever rebounded..so and by the way microtech ...dont look so smug..you have your issues as well.
This channel literally gets 45,000+ comments / year. I've never once heard this complaint. Sorry yours is having issues
@@metal_complex hey bro..love your vids..i look other places besides youtube for info as well..i have one of the original boker kalashnikov an 74 knives with Aus 8 still fires hard always locks $40 vs $180+...and this comment isn't toward you..your a great reviewer however..im sure some of the companies take a peek at your vids just hoping they'll address it..as I said my godfather hasn't had this issue.
@@omegarad123 Protech tr-3 esp this model prob the best in the world today . This is beautiful I had the bead blast .
