Pro-Tech, best-known for its automatic knives, will expand its manual offerings later this month with the new TR-3 Integrity. This release sees the classic Pro-Tech auto outfitted with a new lock and a new deployment method to go along with it.
The TR-3 is a well-loved, longtime member of the Pro-Tech family. It’s almost the archetypal Pro-Tech knife, embodying as it does the company’s love for aerodynamic designs with hard-working, intuitive blade shapes and no-nonsense ergonomics. The core of the experience lies in the 3.5-inch drop point blade, which straddles the line between tactical and utilitarian applications quite nicely, and is paired to a simple handle with curves and jimping in all the right places.
As you would expect, Pro-Tech didn’t mess with success when it came to the 2024 TR-3 Integrity. The same reliable blade is back, made from robust and well-rounded CPM-S35VN. Here, of course, it is opened not with an auto mechanism, nor with the flipper tab we’ve seen on other Pro-Tech manuals, but with thumb studs
It makes sense that you would take popular autos and make them manual for the larger portion of consumers who are not allowed to have autos, or don’t want one. Manuals are cheaper too.
