SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Pro-Tech TR-3 Integrity Thumbstud Manual Folder delivers the kind of no-nonsense performance Pro-Tech built its name on, now in a fully manual platform designed for everyday reliability. Built around a 3.5-inch CPM MagnaCut drop point blade, the Integrity gives you the cutting power, edge stability, and corrosion resistance demanded from a true working knife. The machine-satin finish keeps reflection low while showcasing the clean grind lines that Pro-Tech is known for. A broad 3.3-inch cutting edge pairs with a flat grind to make quick work of daily slicing, utility chores, and field tasks without feeling bulky or overbuilt.
The standout feature of this version is the Relic Textured Black Handle. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the frame is fully milled with an irregular, weathered pattern that adds traction, character, and a rugged, tactical aesthetic. The black anodized finish enhances corrosion resistance while keeping weight to a manageable 3.8 ounces. It fills the hand without creating hot spots, and the slim 0.50-inch thickness makes it pocket-ready for all-day carry.
Deployment is handled through a large, easy-to-reach thumb stud that fires the blade open with smooth, confident action. Pro-Tech’s manual detent tuning is as refined as their automatics, giving the Integrity a crisp, predictable feel that stands out in the button-lock market. The lock itself is topped with a pearl inlay, adding a subtle luxury touch to an otherwise purpose-driven design. Lockup is tight and dependable, with simple one-handed closing that never feels mushy or hesitant.
A deep-carry, tip-up pocket clip keeps the TR-3 seated securely and discreetly on the right side, and its streamlined profile avoids snagging on gear or clothing. At 8 inches overall, the Integrity has the reach and leverage needed for real work while remaining compact enough for daily use. It’s an American-built folder made for users who want rugged reliability, clean design, and premium steel without unnecessary complications.
The TR-3 Integrity Manual is a blend of tactical heritage and refined EDC execution. If you’ve always appreciated the TR-3 platform but wanted it in a manual format with Pro-Tech’s smoothest action and one of the toughest steels available, this version checks every box. Power, control, and unmistakable Pro-Tech craftsmanship—the TR-3 Integrity is built to work, available at SMKW.
