ProTech SBR Short Bladed Rockeye Automatic Knife Textured Black 2.5" Stonewash/Satin LG405

I wanted a small folding knife made from quality materials from a company that stands behind their products. When I unboxed the ProTech LG405, I was delighted with the quality of its construction and the action of the deployment of the knife. The knife was sharp out of the box. I tested how long the blade would remain sharp by using it cut up an apple, then some old rope and then some chicken breast tenderloin. The knife performed excellent. I am completely happy with this purchase.

This knife feels awesome in the hand, and it carries smaller in the pocket than it looks. I'd credit that to the deep carry clip. The action is super snappy and typical Pro-Tech. The blade was a let down though. The grind of the bevel is uneven out by the tip on one side, and it's not very sharp from the factory. It's downright dull from the end of the belly out to the tip. I've bought plenty of $30-$40 pocket knifes that were way sharper from the factory.
