Pro-Tech Knives® Tactical Response III Automatic – 154CM Stonewash Plain Blade & Milled Black Groove Aluminum Handles – TR-3 GROOVE
The Pro-Tech Knives® Tactical Response III Automatic Folding Knife (TR-3 GROOVE) is an elite, duty-grade side-opening automatic tool precision-engineered to deliver unflinching mechanical reliability within professional military, law enforcement, and hard-use everyday carry spaces. While typical tactical folding knives rely on slow manual tabs or complex secondary thumb stud levers that can slip during high-stress deployments, Pro-Tech's specialized firing architecture bypasses those physical risks entirely. This premium, hard-hitting tactical asset (871373618518) couples a combat-proven structural chassis with a clean, classic grooved grip layout, providing instant tactical utility at the single press of a button.
The foundation of this deployment tool starts with its highly tactile handle frame, precision CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and protected by a hardcoat **Black Anodized finish**. The defining mechanical edge of this TR-3 variant is its specialized **Milled Grooves texture**. These clean, linear precision-cut channels sweep horizontally across the handle face, offering a classic look while providing excellent directional traction that stops the handle from twisting under heavy pressure. Tucked inside the frame is Pro-Tech’s legendary **heavy-duty coil spring mechanism**. Activated via a recessed, blast-finished button, it delivers an incredibly snappy, authoritative opening stroke that locks the blade into position with absolute mechanical certainty.
The cutting engine of this American-made workhorse is a **3.375-inch spear point / drop point blade**, ground from premium **154CM American crucible stainless steel**. Hardened to an optimal 59 HRC, this structural alloy delivers a professional-grade balance of exceptional edge retention, structural impact toughness, and easy field maintenance. The blade features a precision flat grind, a false top swedge to enhance piercing performance, and a rugged **Stonewash finish** designed to completely mask surface scuffs and scratches from demanding field work. Complete with an integrated lanyard hole and a heavy-duty, 3-hole black stainless steel pocket clip set for secure tip-up right-hand carry, this tactical masterpiece delivers unyielding operational confidence across dynamic workspace environments and emergency response lines.
Includes: (1) Pro-Tech TR-3 Tactical Response III Automatic Knife (Black Milled Grooves Handles & Stonewash Plain Blade), Pre-Installed Tip-Up Pocket Clip, and Factory Storage Pouch.
*Automatic Firing Safety Note: This folder utilizes a powerful internal coil spring that fires the blade out-the-side instantly when the firing button is depressed. To prevent accidental or negligent opening strings inside your pocket, the push button is intentionally recessed flush with the face of the grooved handle scales. It requires a deliberate, deep finger press to actuate the firing cycle.
