Pro-Tech Knives

Pro-Tech Knives is a family-owned American knife maker founded by Dave Wattenberg in the late 1990s. Its first knife was the Runt, and today Pro-Tech designs, machines, assembles and finishes its knives in-house in Southern California. It is best known for push-button automatics like the TR-3 and Godfather, and for button-lock manual flippers like the Malibu and Mordax.

We carry a large selection of Pro-Tech in stock at our Lafayette, LA shop and online, including limited editions and designer collaborations with Les George, Ramon Chaves, Walter Brend, Dmitry Sinkevich and others. Pick a model below to see its specs.
