The Pro-Tech Duke Custom 004 is an extraordinary expression of custom knife artistry, combining elite materials, stunning visual appeal, and Pro-Tech's precision automatic action in a package designed for serious collectors and enthusiasts. From its premium Damascus blade to its richly detailed handle, every aspect of this knife reflects a commitment to craftsmanship without compromise.
The 2.65-inch drop point blade is forged from Chad Nichols Raindrop Damascus steel, showcasing one of the most recognizable and sought-after Damascus patterns in the knife industry. Waves of intricate layered steel flow across the blade's surface, creating a mesmerizing pattern that gives each knife its own unique character. The blade's elegant profile offers excellent cutting performance while serving as a fitting canvas for the beauty of the Damascus steel itself.
The handle is crafted from aerospace-grade 6Al-4V titanium and finished in a striking seafoam green anodized treatment that sets this knife apart from traditional custom folders and automatics. The vibrant color evokes coastal waters and tropical seas, bringing a fresh, sophisticated appearance to the Duke's sleek profile. Set into the titanium is a genuine abalone inlay that shimmers with flashes of blue, green, violet, and gold as it catches the light. The natural iridescence of the abalone pairs beautifully with the seafoam green titanium, creating a luxurious visual contrast that's impossible to ignore.
A matching seafoam green anodized titanium pocket clip completes the presentation while maintaining a seamless, high-end appearance. Pressing the automatic button unleashes Pro-Tech's signature action, deploying the blade with speed and authority while the button lock provides dependable lockup during use. At just 3.55 inches closed and weighing 3.7 ounces, the Duke Custom 004 remains remarkably easy to carry despite its premium construction.
Proudly made in the USA, this custom automatic exemplifies Pro-Tech's dedication to innovative design, flawless execution, and the use of world-class materials.
