Pro Tech TR-5 Lerch Assist Black AUPTTR5SA1

The Pro-Tech TR-5 Lerch Assist Black is a rugged, American-made folding knife designed for users who demand fast deployment, premium materials, and dependable everyday performance in a streamlined tactical package. Combining Pro-Tech’s precision machining with the smooth assisted-opening design from custom knifemaker Matt Lerch, the TR-5 delivers responsive action and serious cutting capability while maintaining a clean, professional appearance built for real-world carry.

At the center of the knife is a 3.25" CPM S35VN stainless steel drop point blade with a rugged stonewash finish. CPM S35VN is known for its outstanding balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, making it one of the most trusted premium blade steels for everyday carry and hard-use applications. The drop point profile offers excellent versatility with a strong tip for precision work and a broad cutting edge capable of handling slicing, utility cuts, and daily tasks with ease. The stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged working appearance while helping hide wear and scratches from regular use.

The TR-5 Lerch Assist utilizes a thumb stud opening system paired with Pro-Tech’s smooth assisted-opening mechanism for quick, reliable deployment. A simple push on the thumb stud activates the spring-assisted action, sending the blade open with speed and authority while maintaining excellent control. The action feels crisp and refined, offering dependable performance whether used in professional settings, outdoor environments, or everyday carry situations.

The handle is constructed from lightweight black aluminum, delivering strength and durability without unnecessary weight. Its ergonomic profile provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended use while maintaining a slim carry footprint that disappears easily into pocket. The black anodized finish gives the knife a clean tactical look suited for work, field, or daily carry environments while also adding resistance to wear and handling.

A tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible throughout the day, allowing for fast retrieval when needed. At 4.375" closed and 7.625" overall, the TR-5 offers an ideal balance between compact portability and full-sized cutting performance. The knife feels substantial in hand without becoming cumbersome during daily carry, making it well suited for users who want dependable capability in a streamlined package.

Proudly made in the USA, the Pro-Tech TR-5 Lerch Assist Black combines premium CPM S35VN steel, smooth assisted deployment, and rugged aluminum construction into a dependable everyday carry knife built for hard use and long-term reliability.
