I now have 6 protechs which includes 2 identical tr5's,well about a month ago dummy me dropped my edc tr5 onto a ceramic tile floor and bamm there went an 1/8" of the tip.Emailed protech and Mapi responded quickly and said for 50+shipping they could reblade it but since they are produced in lots she wasn't sure if they had a stonewashed blade in stock.She told me she would check and get right back to me and sure enough they only had 3 blades in stock and she pulled one back for me so I would get taken care of.Turn around time was about three weeks and communication was great--you can't ask for better customer service and will always be a huge fan of protech. p.s. their fit and finish is awesome also.
