High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pro Tech TR-3 Integrity Thumbstud Manual Folder with a relic textured Shipwreck anodized handle and DLC black MagnaCut blade delivers a distinctive blend of battle-worn character and modern precision. Built by Pro-Tech Knives, this Integrity model takes the proven TR-3 platform and gives it a visual identity that feels earned rather than polished, while still maintaining the tight tolerances and performance Pro-Tech is known for.
The 3.5-inch spear point blade is crafted from MagnaCut steel, a standout modern steel engineered to balance edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It’s a blade steel designed for real-world use, capable of holding a sharp edge while standing up to demanding conditions. The DLC black finish enhances surface durability and keeps reflections to a minimum, reinforcing the knife’s low-profile, work-driven personality. The spear point profile offers excellent tip control and balanced cutting performance, making it versatile across a wide range of tasks.
The handle is machined from 6061 aluminum and finished with a relic Shipwreck anodization that gives every knife a unique, weathered appearance. No two handles look exactly alike, adding depth and individuality to each piece. The relic texture isn’t just visual, it provides a confident grip that feels secure without being abrasive. At 4.6 inches closed and 8 inches overall, the TR-3 Integrity sits comfortably in hand, offering solid control without unnecessary bulk.
Manual deployment comes via dual DLC black thumb studs, allowing for deliberate, controlled blade engagement. The button lock provides smooth operation and reliable lockup, blending the familiarity of a manual folder with Pro-Tech’s refined mechanical feel. A black lip pearl button adds a subtle custom touch that contrasts cleanly against the darker handle and blade. Matching black hardware and a wide, deep-carry pocket clip complete the build, keeping the knife secure and discreet during carry.
Weighing just 3.8 ounces, the TR-3 Integrity carries easily while still feeling substantial enough to inspire confidence. This knife is built for those who appreciate a tool that looks like it’s seen miles without giving up modern materials or precision. It’s a manual folder with character, balance, and unmistakable Pro-Tech execution.
