Protech Tactical Response TR-5 Lerch Spring Assist Stonewashed S35VN Button Lock Folder TR-5 SA.1

The Protech Tactical Response is a mid-size, tactical, button lock folder that is durable and fast in the hand. A sleek, lightweight construction makes carry a breeze, while the drop point S35VN blade is useful for utility and defense. This manual Lerch Titanium Spring Assist version comes with a black hard anodized aluminum handle and stonewashed CPM-S35VN blade with assisted thumb stud deployment.

Brand new directly from Protech Knives.

Blade: Delivered with a rugged stonewashed finish that hides wear from use, the S35VN drop point blade is versatile and utilitarian with a high saber grind for balanced performance and durability. The long top swedge provides a fine point for piercing and detail work. The nearly instantaneous Lerch Titanium Assist mechanism makes deployment via the thumb stud fast and decisive and provides a very strong detent for safe carry.

Handle: 6061-T6 anodized aluminum makes the TR-5 tough and lightweight with a hard anodized finish that is durable, non-reflective and discreet. Milled finger grooves provide a comfortable and secure grip in the hand, with subtle jimping for indexing. The hardened 410 steel back spacer has a generous lanyard hole and extends from the pommel for use as an impact tool.

Carries via a right-hand stainless steel deep carry clip.

CPM-S35VN: Modified CPM-S30V designed for improved toughness (15-20%) and ease of machining and polishing. Well-balanced for daily use, S35VN has better edge retention and toughness compared to 440C or VG10, with equivalent corrosion resistance.
