    Thanks for the shout and awesome showcase of the lineage! Was stoked to hear your thoughts on em! That cambria is a hidden gem for sure

    I think a manual ProTech Strider SNG would be a big seller. I’d be all over it.

    Pro-tech has had a few button locks over the years, like The TR-4 tactical Response button lock. Thi is Pro-tech's flagship model, but it didn't catch on that well because it didn't always lock up completely tight. Slight blade play is a cardinal sin for a $200 knife imo.
    Great episode man, so glad someone showed that Pro-tech has had button lock knives for a long time they just didn't catch on. This is the first comparison I belive.

    Same legal issue here in PA with autos so I'm glad protech does these manuals so I can experience there quality and carry and enjoy them

      Came here to say this. Until PA stops criminalizing automatic knives, these flippers are the only way to EDC a Pro-Tech knife.

    Mordax is the only one I have any experience with and it was a fantastic knife! No reason to think the other two are any different! Love the look of the Malibu! Thanks for the look brother!!

    Great review of all three button locks. I handled a Malibu and felt is was just a little small for me, so now I have a Mordax coming. Looking forward to it.

    I was not into the Persian blade shape, but then I bought a ZT0462 on a whim. I was not into "hard use" folders, but then I bought an AD-10 on a whim. 😁 Nice showcase of manual Pro-Techs. Wish I was fast enough to catch one when they're in stock.

    Do you think the mordax will match the malibu in smoothness and "crispiness" since both knives are still in production and receiving design updates on the production line?

    • @beardedgear
      @beardedgear  3 роки тому

      I won’t know the answer to that unless I get a new Mordax in hand. So far I haven’t played with any mordax’s that were as crisp as my malibu 🤷🏼‍♂️

    They sorta look just unremarkable and boring IMHO. I’m guessing they are expensive too?
