The Half-Breed automatic knife from Protech features the larger handle design of the Newport and the CA legal blade of the Sprint knife.
This Half-Breed knife has a stonewash finished CPM-S35VN steel blade and black anodized aluminum handle with satin hardware and a black tip-up carry pocket clip.
This is the first knife that made me giggle in a LOOONG time. That funny little chuckle that you make to yourself when you realize, "oh, I see what they're talking about." The precision, the snap, it's for real. I'm gifting this one to my dad, the man responsible for my knife addiction, and getting myself a sprint.... because I couldn't justify owning both and only carrying one :)
This is my third half breed! Nuff said! Thanks blade hq for the snappy deliver n protech for the snappy knife.
For me, this is a super knife, Ratings from me are this: -Tolerances and fit= Mission accomplished. -Handle length vs blade= Mission accomplished. -Design comfort in pocket= Mission accomplished. -Blade design= Mission accomplished. I have only one other automatic knife that is classified as a Mini, not made in the U.S.A., is the "rage" due to the low pricing vs action, and it came packaged in a replica rifle ammo magazine . The Protech Half Breed is a premium knife. The cost was definitely worth the purchase, "If you buy the best, you never pine for the rest, " Light speed service from Bladehq. Ordered on a Sunday and in hand on Wednesday,3 days.
The Protech Half-Breed is absolutely a perfect cutting instrument. Not to big, not to small, just perfect for any task. Yes Protech knives are rather expensive but once you get one and use it a while you'll see and feel the quality and craftsmanship this knife is made of. It is an awesome EDC. "EveryDayCarry"
I've tried a number of 2-inch auto's and like this one the best. The larger handle feels good. The release button action is perfect, relative to other knives.
