The Pro-Tech Large Don Maple Burl Wood Auto is where commanding automatic performance meets refined craftsmanship. Built on one of Pro-Tech’s most iconic full-size platforms, this premium automatic combines the bold presence of a 10-inch overall profile with elegant natural materials and the lightning-fast action the brand is known for. It’s a knife designed for those who appreciate substantial carry, uncompromising American-made quality, and the kind of visual detail that turns a hard-use automatic into a true statement piece.
At the heart of the Large Don is a formidable 4.5" dagger blade crafted from proven 154CM stainless steel. Known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, 154CM has long been trusted for high-performance automatic knives. It takes a keen edge, holds it through repeated use, and sharpens cleanly when it’s time for maintenance, making it a dependable steel for users who expect both performance and longevity.
The dagger blade profile gives the Large Don its unmistakable aggressive presence. With symmetrical lines and a sharply defined point, it delivers exceptional piercing capability while maintaining a sleek, balanced look that defines classic tactical design. The satin finish enhances the blade’s precision-machined lines, adding a clean, polished appearance that contrasts beautifully with the knife’s premium handle materials.
Deployment is everything you’d expect from Pro-Tech—fast, crisp, and authoritative. A firm press of the automatic push button launches the blade with impressive speed and precision, locking solidly into place with confidence-inspiring reliability. This decisive action is part of what has made Pro-Tech one of the most respected names in American automatics.
The handle is machined from silver 6061-T6 aluminum, offering outstanding strength while keeping the knife surprisingly manageable for its size. This aerospace-grade material provides the rigidity and durability needed for a full-size automatic while maintaining a sleek, lightweight feel.
What sets this Large Don apart is its striking maple burl wood inlay. Richly patterned and naturally unique, the maple burl introduces warmth and sophistication to the tactical aluminum frame. No two pieces are exactly alike, giving each knife a distinct character. The organic grain of the wood contrasts perfectly against the silver aluminum, creating a look that’s both rugged and refined.
Measuring 5.9" closed and stretching to a commanding 10" overall, this knife offers serious presence in hand without sacrificing carry practicality. Its size provides exceptional reach and control, while the streamlined design keeps it comfortable for pocket carry.
The Pro-Tech Large Don Maple Burl Wood Auto is more than an automatic knife—it’s a fusion of tactical performance and custom-level aesthetics, built for collectors and users who refuse to compromise.
