A few years ago at BLADE I was drooling over the custom shop knives at the Protech booth. The owner, Mr. Wattenberg walked over and asked if there was anything I wanted to look at. I explained to him that I had given my godson to my new brother in law as a wedding gift, and I was in the market for another one but wanted something a little different. Without speaking he reached under the cabinet and pulled out a crispy new green box. He handed it over to me, and a full g10 scale godson fell out. I hadn't seen this model but was immediately in love. I asked how much it was and he said it wasn't for sale because they had only made, I believe 5 pieces, just to see how lightweight they would be, or something along those lines. I was disheartened because it wasn't for sale and I told him that. He replied that just because it wasn't for sale didn't mean I couldn't have it. I was set aback. Long story short.....I carry it at least three or four times a week, and have done everything from clean my fingernails to scale and gut bluegill and crappie with it.
I will always be grateful for his generosity, and their customer service is top notch as well. I have eight or so other protects now, each as snappy and well built as the last.
I am wondering if anyone knows if this model was ever produced in volume, because I would like to buy another one, but even with my gooogle-fu I have come up empty handed.
