PRO-TECH SBR Acid Wash CPM S35VN Black Milled Aluminum Handle

The Pro-Tech SBR Acid Wash CPM S35VN Black Milled Aluminum Handle is a compact automatic folder built for hard-use reliability, fast deployment, and rugged everyday carry performance. Designed in collaboration with legendary knifemaker Les George, the SBR, short for “Short Bladed Rockeye,” has earned a strong reputation for combining aggressive styling, premium materials, and outstanding ergonomics into a highly capable compact platform. This version elevates the proven design even further with an acid wash blade finish and aggressively milled black aluminum handle that give the knife a rugged, battle-ready appearance.

At the center of the knife is a 2.5" CPM S35VN stainless steel clip point blade with a durable acid wash finish. CPM S35VN is one of the most respected premium stainless blade steels available, offering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance for demanding daily use. The clip point blade profile provides excellent versatility, delivering precise tip control, strong slicing performance, and reliable piercing capability in a compact package. Whether handling utility work, package opening, or general everyday cutting tasks, the SBR’s blade is built to perform with confidence.

The acid wash finish gives the blade a rugged, worn-in appearance that helps conceal scratches and signs of use over time. It adds character and practicality to the knife while complementing the aggressive styling of the milled handle. Combined with the compact blade shape, the finish reinforces the SBR’s reputation as a serious hard-use automatic built for real-world carry.

Deployment is handled through Pro-Tech’s renowned out-the-side automatic push-button system. With a quick press of the button, the blade fires open instantly with the crisp, authoritative action that has made Pro-Tech a leader in premium automatic knives. The button lock mechanism provides dependable lockup and smooth operation, giving the knife fast one-handed deployment and reliable performance day after day.

The handle is constructed from knurled black aluminum, offering lightweight durability and outstanding grip security. The milled texture enhances traction during use while adding a bold industrial appearance that matches the rugged character of the blade. Ergonomically shaped to fit naturally in hand, the handle provides excellent control and comfort despite the knife’s compact dimensions.

A tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure, discreet, and ready for quick access throughout the day. At 3.75" closed, 6.5" overall, and weighing just 3 ounces, the SBR strikes an ideal balance between portability and serious cutting capability, making it an excellent choice for everyday carry enthusiasts who demand premium performance in a compact automatic platform.

Proudly made in the USA, the Pro-Tech SBR delivers precision engineering, premium materials, and rugged automatic performance in one highly refined compact folder.
