The ProTech Auto Avalon Custom 004 pairs precision machining with premium modern materials, delivering a refined yet hard-use automatic built for collectors who appreciate performance and finish in equal measure. This configuration brings a striking mirror-polished aesthetic alongside ProTech’s proven out-the-side automatic platform.
A 4-inch Mike Ire Compound Ground blade forms the centerpiece, crafted from 154CM stainless steel and finished in a flawless mirror polish. The compound grind enhances geometry across the blade’s surface, transitioning between bevels to improve slicing efficiency while adding visual depth that shifts with the light. The spear point profile keeps it versatile, offering strong piercing capability and controlled cutting performance, all while showcasing a high-end polish that stands out in any collection.
Deployment is quick and controlled through ProTech’s push-button automatic system. A firm press sends the blade into action with authority, while the integrated button lock secures it firmly in place during use. The mechanism is tuned for crisp response and consistent reliability, reflecting ProTech’s reputation for tight tolerances and dependable action.
The handle is built from knurled grey aluminum, giving the knife a modern industrial look with reduced weight and improved carry comfort. The textured surface adds grip security without sacrificing refinement, balancing utility with a clean, tactical appearance. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps it ready for pocket carry, and at 5 inches closed and roughly 3.5 ounces, it remains impressively portable for a full-size automatic.
Proudly made in the USA, this Avalon Custom continues ProTech’s tradition of precision-built automatics designed with real-world function and collector appeal in mind.
