      Pro-Tech Knives can I work for you lol. Joking but I really appreciate a company that strives for perfection with zero compromise! It’s crazy to see how many companies have not stuck to the things that are important. I’ve never had a protech but as soon as I can I will be getting one (especially since I live in GA where I can actually carry an auto)! I appreciate you doing this with bladehq it really was entertaining and educational. You guys are awesome!

      I saw a great post on reddit where you guys restored a sprint protec for a guy which got is as a wedding present. I don't own a protec knife and I don't know if it's sold in the Netherlands but if need be ill import one from the states. I'm all about the people behind the blade as much as the blade itself

    Dave is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever want to meet. He’s great to do business with. I was blessed to meet his Father several times before he passed away. It was easy to see where Dave got his work ethic from. I first talked with Dave years ago after watching an episode of the Terminator TV show where a beautiful Terminator whipped out an all black automatic and stabbed another Terminator in the head with it. I managed to freeze the frame, see the brand was Pro-Tech, which I had never heard of. I found a phone # and Dave, the owner answered the call. I learned that the model was a prototype of a TR-3. It’s still my favorite model of any brand in my collection. I own 24 different styles of the TR-3 + 16 other Pro-Tech’s of the other various incredible models He produces. Thanks Dave!

    What a great story/video.
    I recently purchased my first Protech knife with some help from Derek and the crew at Protech. I got the TR-5 in blue. This knife has absolutely blown me away. I just ordered a second Protech and the anticipation for its arrival is killing me. Anyone who is second guessing themselves on a Protech purchase, don’t. You’ll love it!

    I just got my first Protech from BladeHQ a few days ago; the 'tuxedo' Godson. I've never really been interested in autos, but I think Protech may be the company that draws me in. Watching this video and learning about the company made the knife even more appealing in my eyes. Really great products from Protech, and great service and entertainment from BladeHQ.

    Great testimony to a great man, great family, and great knives. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Dave and Allen since 1999 when I bought my first TR-1 from him at Ross. Carried them in Iraq and Afghanistan and on duty here at home. Nothing compares. While you might get by carrying only one for life, I’ve chosen to to expand them into a collection. Even my wife has a few Runts. ;) and many of those I serve with are proud owners of Protech Knives. Thanks Blade HQ for a great video. Thanks Dave for following your dreams. 🍺

    @aldud5170 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have never had experience with ProTech knives. I was very lucky and I bought limited edition 12/25 TR3 Four Horsemen. I doubted the authenticity and was very worried, because there was no information about this series anywhere. I wrote to ProTech and the next day David answered that my knife was actually made by ProTech, then Derek told in detail the story of its creation. I want to say that now more than just one Protech will appear in my collection. These are amazing, high-quality knives. and the team at this company is very responsive. Thank you, and good luck with your business! Alexei

    I own and regularly carry two different Protech knives, a Runt and a Magic (it really is magic!). I also have several other auto-openers from other makers. The Protechs are definitely my favorites. Their opening action is unlike any other, and I've opened a lot of auto openers. I never knew I needed or really even wanted an auto-opener . . . until I had one. Now they are my favorites. I intend to buy more and will definitely buy Protech again.

    My Runt Cocobollo is remarkable, and I don't say that lightly. I don't know whether it's due to the the design, engineering, heft, snap or the merger of different metals and wood, but it's like Mr. Wattenburg mentions.... you can tell someone toiled endlessly over every detail. The end result is I push the deployment button and smile with amazement almost every time.

    Ben's got an awesome job. He gets to shoot videos for TH-cam with great equipment, play with knives, and talk with knife industry leaders all while wearing sandals, a t-shirt and cargo shorts.

      Not bad, right? But you forgot a couple things: stay up late figuring out storylines, slinging coffee for Jamie (video man), and stressing about deadlines. I really enjoy it, but what you see on video and real life aren't always the same. Except for the sandals. Those are legit. ;) -Ben

    Great video! Pro-Tech TR-3 X1 M ROCKS!!! Sure wish Pro-Tech would have set up their shop out here in Colorado so I could buy more of their products. I haven't found many dealers out here that stock more than a few of their knives but I add to my collection when they are available. Just picked up a First Production T503 #140 of 400 and it's perfect in every respect. Keep up the great work Pro-Tech!
