Pro-Tech Knives
TR-5: Tactical Response 5
Our First Spring Assist! The Power and Speed of an AUTO – in a spring assisted mechanism!
The newest of our Tactical Response folder family featuring the new Matthew Lerch designed Titanium Assist mechanism.
A fantastic new design – the TR-5 is a smaller version of our popular TR-4. The ergonomics and size of this new knife are perfect for every day carry!
Spring Assist – Button Lock
As with spring assist knives in general you have to start the opening with your own force – using the thumb stud as shown here:
- Simply push forward the thumb stud – once you overcome the bias towards the closed position, the superior coil spring action of a Pro-Tech takes it the rest of the way open.
- To close the knife – push the button to unlock and fold closed.
- You will feel the resistance as you get close to folding it back into the frame – this is normal. Push past that and bring the blade to rest back in the handle. The strong resistance while closing is necessary due to our strong spring action!
