This Tactical Response 3 Operator comes with “Fish Scale” milled black anodized aluminum handles, a sterile black coated blade, black hardware and a Tritium inlaid push button.

Brand new, direct from Protech Knives, USA.

Blade: The sterile drop point blade is made of American 154CM stainless steel delivering balanced performance and ease of maintenance. The high height saber grind offers good slicing performance with solid durability while the top swedge delivers powerful piercing performance. The plain edge blade is finished with a durable, matte black DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating that enhances corrosion resistance and is non-reflective for discreet use. The blade deploys via a Tritium inlaid push button that is easily visible in low light conditions. A press of the button engages the coil spring mechanism for fast, smooth and easy one-handed operation.

Handle: 6061-T6 aluminum makes the handle of the Tactical Response both tough and lightweight with a black hard anodized finish that is durable and non-reflective. Milled Fish Scale texture provides a comfortable and secure grip in the hand with subtle jimping for indexing as well as enhanced traction. Black coated hardware and a generous lanyard hole round out the construction on this Operator grade automatic folder.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up only, black DLC coated, stainless steel pocket clip.

Crucible 154CM: 154CM stainless steel is an improved version of 440C with molybdenum added. It has improved corrosion resistance and edge retention as well as a high wear resistance. Add ease of sharpening to the list and you have a great, all-around American steel.
