ProTech x Peace Neighbor Avalon Button Lock Manual Knife Knurled Blue Aluminum 4.25" MagnaCut Drop Point Machine Satin

The Pro-Tech Avalon is four inches of point-forward goodness. Its one-handed action is faster, smoother, and quieter than most automatics, especially when closing. It is larger than expected, but it remains quick, controlled, and never clumsy. The slim profile rides well in the pocket, and the cutout in the clip for accessing the clip screws gives my fingers something to grab onto when drawing it. Thoughtful design, excellent execution. The Avalon is a medium-duty EDC, not hard-use. It is too large to be invisible, but that gives it a real niche: fast, controlled, one-handed cutting when a smaller office EDC or "gentleman's" folder feels underqualified and a fixed blade would be too much.
