ProTech TR-4 F3 Tactical Response 4

The ProTech TR-4 F3 Tactical Response 4 features a feather texture black anodized 7075 aluminum handle that greatly increases the grip. The drop point blade is CPM-D2 steel with a black DLC finish and a plain edge. This TR-4 incorporates a sliding safety on the front of the handle that keeps the blade locked up when not being used. This TR-4 features all black hardware, and a tip-up pocket clip. The Protech TR-4 models are a whole new take on their popular Tactical Response line, and is a knife that will not let you down. It fires hard, locks up like a rock, and feels great. Includes a black nylon sheath.

CPM-D2 Steel: Crucible has taken their well respected D2 steel powderized and re-smelted to achieve CPM-D2, which has more evenly distributed carbides, adding even better wear resistance to an already impressive steel. Considered a high carbon steel in this more distributed state, regular D2 does air-harden which could present difficulties for the amateur maker. However, when heat treated and ground properly, CPM-D2 is a monster in any application, taking everything the user throws at it and then asking for more. The high carbon and carbide density translate to an edge that forms a burr that is commonly described as eerily sharp no matter the abuse and use. If there is any downside to this steel is that it may not offer the best corrosion resistance, but when well maintained and cared for, makes a knife worth several lifetimes.
