The Pro-Tech Knives TR-5 Auto Shaw Skull AUPTTR570

The Pro-Tech Knives TR-5 Auto Shaw Skull is where precision American craftsmanship meets bold custom artistry. Built on the proven Tactical Response 5 platform, this extraordinary out-the-side automatic combines Pro-Tech’s legendary performance with unmistakable design details that transform it from a high-end automatic knife into a true collector’s statement piece. Every element of this knife reflects elite engineering, premium materials, and the kind of attention to detail that sets it apart from anything else in its class.

At the heart of the TR-5 Auto Shaw Skull is a 3.25-inch CPM S35VN stainless steel drop point blade finished in a rugged stonewash. Known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, CPM S35VN is one of the most respected premium blade steels in modern knife making. It’s built to maintain a sharp working edge through extended use while offering the durability needed for hard everyday carry tasks. The drop point profile adds outstanding versatility, providing a strong controllable tip for precision work along with enough belly for slicing and utility cutting. The stonewash finish enhances the blade’s rugged appeal while helping conceal wear from regular use.

Deployment is where Pro-Tech truly shines. The automatic opening action fires with authority at the press of the stunning mother-of-pearl push button, delivering the crisp, reliable action the company is famous for. This premium detail not only elevates the knife’s visual sophistication but adds a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in production automatics.

The handle is an exceptional showcase of artistry and precision machining. Constructed from gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, it offers lightweight strength and dependable durability while maintaining a sleek, tactical profile. The intricately machined brick and barbed wire design gives the knife a rugged industrial edge, creating depth and texture that immediately commands attention.

At the center of it all is the knife’s defining feature: a Bruce Shaw sterling silver skull inlay. This handcrafted centerpiece transforms the TR-5 into a bold artistic statement, adding unmistakable personality and collector-grade appeal. It’s the kind of detail that makes this knife as much a display-worthy work of art as it is a serious cutting tool.

A black tip-up pocket clip ensures secure, discreet carry, while the included nylon belt loop sheath offers additional carry versatility and protection. Measuring 4.375 inches closed and 7.625 inches overall, and weighing just 3.5 ounces, it balances substantial capability with comfortable everyday carry.

The Pro-Tech Knives TR-5 Auto Shaw Skull is an extraordinary fusion of premium materials, lightning-fast automatic performance, and custom artistic expression—a knife built for collectors who demand both function and unforgettable design.
