The Pro-Tech Tactical Response 3 TR-3 X1 SB brings rugged performance and refined style together in a full-size out-the-side automatic knife built for serious everyday carry. With its distinctive fish-scale textured black aluminum handle and eye-catching sapphire blue blade, this Tactical Response 3 stands out without sacrificing the hard-use character Pro-Tech is known for.
The 3.5-inch spear point blade is precision ground from 154-CM stainless steel, delivering a practical balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its sapphire blue PVD finish gives the blade a bold, high-contrast appearance while adding a durable protective surface for demanding use. At 8 inches overall and weighing just 3.68 ounces, the TR-3 offers substantial cutting capability without becoming unnecessarily bulky in your pocket.
A push of the abalone automatic button sends the blade into action with the fast, decisive deployment expected from a Pro-Tech automatic. The button adds a distinctive touch of color and character against the black 6061 aluminum handle, while the button-operated automatic mechanism keeps the design streamlined and easy to operate with one hand.
The handle features an aggressive fish-scale texture that gives the knife its unmistakable look while providing a secure grip. Machined from lightweight 6061 aluminum, the 4.5-inch handle keeps the overall weight down while maintaining the solid feel you'd expect from a full-size tactical folder. Black-finished hardware complements the handle and blade, creating a cohesive, purpose-driven design.
For pocket carry, the TR-3 is equipped with a standard three-hole clip that keeps the knife securely positioned and ready when you need it. The right-hand configuration is practical for everyday users, while the full-size dimensions provide a comfortable platform for controlled cutting tasks.
Whether you're adding a dependable automatic to your everyday rotation or looking for a Pro-Tech with a little extra personality, the Tactical Response 3 delivers a rugged combination of proven materials, fast automatic action, and standout styling.
