SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pro-Tech Auto Mike "Whiskers" Allen BR-1 Magic Bolster Release #1 is a masterclass in covert automatic design, combining sleek looks with fast, intuitive deployment. Built with Pro-Tech’s signature precision and Allen’s renowned hidden-release mechanism, this knife offers reliable performance wrapped in a package that keeps its true capabilities just beneath the surface.
At the business end, the BR-1 features a 3.12" drop point blade crafted from 154CM stainless steel—known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade is finished in a durable black DLC wash that not only enhances wear resistance but gives it a low-profile, tactical look suited for any environment. Sharp, strong, and purpose-driven, this blade is made to get to work.
What sets the BR-1 apart is its Magic Bolster Release. There’s no visible button or switch—instead, the bolster itself is the release mechanism. A subtle nudge at just the right spot deploys the blade in a flash, thanks to Pro-Tech’s tried-and-true automatic action. It’s fast, secure, and adds a layer of discretion few autos can match.
The handle is crafted from anodized aluminum with a two-tone design: a sleek black frame paired with a textured green bolster that not only provides visual contrast but also improves grip and tactile control. The slim profile and clean lines make it comfortable in hand, while the bolster texture gives you the traction needed for confident handling.
Designed for right-hand carry, the tip-up pocket clip rides deep, keeping the BR-1 secure and out of sight until you need it. At 7.06" overall and weighing just 3.05oz, it strikes a balance between everyday carry convenience and serious cutting performance.
With a hidden release, high-end materials, and unmistakable Pro-Tech build quality, the Auto Mike “Whiskers” BR-1 isn’t just a knife—it’s a piece of functional innovation designed for those who know what to look for. Order it today from SMKW!
