Pro-Tech and Mike "Whiskers" Allen have been friends for over 20 years. Back before the Pro-Tech days when Dave used to buy and sell a lot of custom knives, many a Whiskers custom autos did he sell. It's great that all these many years later they are able to offer this fantastic Pro-Tech/Whiskers collaboration knife! Upon first glance, there is nothing about the BR-1 to make you suspect it's an auto (no button of course). In our experience, 9 out of 10 people that you hand it to will NOT be able to open it until you show them where the trick spot is. The bolster slides upward and this very deliberate movement is what fires the blade open and also unlocks it from the open position. The Magic BR-1 is a fantastic addition to Protech lineup - the moment you handle one you will see why it's a great selling knife!
