Everything that goes into making a Pro-Tech knife happens in California, USA. Originally begun by a former middle school teacher, David Wattenberg, the company now produces a huge selection of high-quality US-made knives and is one of the world leaders in the manufacturing of automatic pocket knives. From their Les George-collaboration SBR autos, to awesome Malibu flippers, to perfected camping fixed blades, Pro-Tech has many sharp things to offer for the everyday knife enthusiast. With minimalistic designs, the knives that come out of Artesia, CA all have incredible action, as their Malibu is known as one of the smoothest button lock flippers on the market, and all of their push button autos have a surprisingly snappy action.

All of Pro-Techs main-line knives are built with reliability and function in mind, and they also often collaborate with many of the knife worlds biggest designers to create highly sought-after custom made pocket knives featuring materials such as Damascus steel, “Mother of Pearl” push buttons, ivory and maple burl handles and more. Innovation is at the core of Pro-Tech’s custom shop, and all of their readily available products have some sort of characteristic that makes them unique. Manufacturing techniques such as CNC machining, laser cutting and wire EDM define the effort that goes into designing and creating each Pro-Tech. Limited runs of even their most production models ensure that quality control is at the core of Pro-Techs mission and we can confidently say that they have sent us a very low percentage of defected products in comparison to some the other brands we proudly carry (not that anybody else has sent us many defective products). At impressive price points, Pro-Tech knives are great for the everyday collector or somebody looking to get into the knife community. If you haven’t had the chance to own a Pro-Tech, now is the time. They often come out with brand new designs and models, so keep an eye out for something from this reliable US-based company that will suit your needs and style.

Long, slender and lightweight, the Pro-Tech Newport is a push button auto that takes up a small amount of space without sacrificing blade length. Slightly resembling the design of the Godson, but featuring a bit more of an ergonomic handle shape, the Newport feels great in your hand during use and disappears in your pocket when its not. Weighing in at 2.2 oz., the Newport feels weightless in your hand, and has incredible balance while opening the knife. As with most of Pro-Techs offerings, this knifes blade comes rocketing out of its handle with the push of a button. The push button on the Newport is slightly recessed, so that it won’t easily open on accident, but still isn’t hard to find and use when needed. This is one of those snappy coil spring action automatic knives that’s balance allows it to stay firmly in your hand with barely a budge.

The 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle scales that come on the Pro-Tech Newport are slightly grooved for great comfort, while giving off a vibe of simplicity. A semi-open backed design allows for easy cleaning of your knife, and the opening doubles as extra grip during use. The Newport comes in a variety of different color/anodized handles.

Coming with CPM S35VN steel, a great all-around steel for edge retention, ease of sharpening, and corrosion resistance, the Newports have a spear point shaped blade, much longer than it is wide, another reason for this knife being compared to the Godsons. The blades are finished off with a high flat grind featuring a bit of a bayonet/false edge grind, giving it even more style. To ease your carry, the Pro-Tech Newport is outfitted with a tip-up pocket clip with a lanyard notch.

This model Newport comes standard. A black 6061-T6 aluminum handle matched with a stonewash spear point blade give this knife the rugged look you may be looking for. The tip-up pocket clip is black on this model, while the pivot and push button are stainless.

This is an automatic pocket knife with a 3” blade and no safety. Please research and be aware of your local knife laws before purchasing and carrying a pocket knife. SRKT is an authorized dealer of Pro-Tech products.
