Pro-Tech Knives SBR Auto Black

The Pro-Tech Auto SBR Les George Design Black Handle is a compact automatic folder built for hard-use reliability, fast deployment, and premium everyday carry performance. Designed in collaboration with renowned knifemaker Les George, the SBR, short for “Short Bladed Rockeye,” has become one of Pro-Tech’s most respected compact automatic knives thanks to its outstanding ergonomics, rugged construction, and aggressive cutting capability. This version pairs premium CPM S35VN blade steel with a clean black aluminum handle, delivering a dependable automatic platform with unmistakable American-made quality.

At the center of the knife is a 2.5″ CPM S35VN stainless steel clip point blade with a satin finish. CPM S35VN is widely regarded as one of the top-performing stainless blade steels available, offering an outstanding balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting edge retention. The clip point blade profile provides excellent versatility for everyday carry tasks, delivering precise tip control, strong slicing ability, and reliable piercing performance in a compact package. Its smaller size makes it especially practical for daily utility work while still maintaining the rugged cutting capability expected from the SBR platform.

The satin finish gives the blade a clean, refined appearance that contrasts perfectly against the black handle. It also highlights the precise grind lines and premium fit and finish that Pro-Tech is known for throughout its American-made lineup.

Deployment is handled through Pro-Tech’s proven out-the-side automatic mechanism. With a quick press of the push button, the blade fires open smoothly and locks firmly into place with the crisp, authoritative action that has made Pro-Tech one of the leading names in automatic knives. The button lock mechanism provides dependable lockup while maintaining smooth and responsive operation through repeated use.

The handle is crafted from black 6061-T6 aluminum, offering lightweight durability and excellent structural strength without unnecessary bulk. The ergonomic shape fills the hand comfortably, giving the compact SBR a surprisingly substantial feel during use. Machined contours and clean lines create a secure, natural grip while maintaining a streamlined carry profile that rides comfortably in pocket.

A tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure, discreet, and readily accessible throughout the day. At 3.75″ closed and 6.5″ overall, the SBR delivers an excellent balance between compact portability and serious cutting performance, making it ideal for users who want a smaller automatic knife that still feels rugged and capable in hand.

Proudly made in the USA, the Pro-Tech SBR Les George Design combines premium materials, fast automatic deployment, and refined hard-use styling into a compact automatic folder built for everyday reliability.
