    Man, I'm not from the US but I respect and admire US military and law enforcement, and that story of Protech pausing everthing they're doing to take care of them gave me goosebumps. Amazing guy and entrepreneur. Hats off

    I've never been that into Pro-Tech. But after watching this video I want one. It's the stories behind the product that inspire me. And as someone that lives in Cambria, CA I will now search tirelessly for that model.

    Dave is just in all the aspects an amazing man, started working for Pro-tech about 9 months ago and everything that is mentioned in this video is 100% authentic and true, he treats us like Family and really trusts each and every person to do what is expected.

    I was able to talk with Dave at the 2023 Blade show in Atlanta. I had purchased a OTF in box with the original paperwork. You could feel the nostalgia hear him talk about the entire family working at the kitchen table.

    Who had the first Tech, Microtech or Protech?

      As far as the name goes, I think Micro was a few years before Pro.
      I think.

    I love Dave and Protech knives. It’s my dream to meet him but I’ll have to wait until school is done 😢. Also I wish they would bring back the don. I currently own 13 Protech knives and am always adding to the collection

    Tell Dave to put milled pocket clips on his knives.

    • @cloakofshadow1
      @cloakofshadow1 8 місяців тому +1

      no

    • @k-ozdragon
      @k-ozdragon 8 місяців тому

      They do put them on their knives. In fact, I believe they have the only 3D milled deep carry clip on the market.
      Besides that, you'd be adding about $80-$100 in cost on every knife, for a part most customers will snag on a seatbelt & break. There's a reason why clips are easily replaceable.

    No offence to the video team, but there are SO many cuts in this that it's very noticeable.

    • @stout_tossme7541
      @stout_tossme7541 8 місяців тому +2

      Without cuts, I wonder how long this video would have been. Lol

      Yeah, I don't know what a good solution is but even listening to audio only it's pretty jarring.
