With so many options I buy the brand almost as much as the knife itself. Thanks for doing this and hope to see more! I like to know who I’m supporting

The legal limit in California is under 2", so 1.99" and below. Not 2" and anything above 2". A switchblade, OTF, automatic, folding, and Swiss army knife that is 2" or more than 2" is actually illegal by state law. However, there are county laws. If I'm not mistaken, in OC (Orange County) it is 3.99" and below, under 4". But I know for sure that in LAC (Los Angeles County) it's 2.99", below 3". This is for any OTF, Swiss army, switchblade, and folding knives for both counties I mentioned. Edit: in San Diego city, where my dad and I are from, I think the blade limit for the knife types mentioned above is at 2.5". Don't really know and I'm not too sure, but for any state and county, you can just conceal any knife in your pocket, whether it's against the law or complying with the law. I'll still conceal carry my school knife in my pocket until I get the accessories for it, like the necklace lanyard for my eldris mora knife. The blade is only 2.3" so it's legal on any Californian school grounds, complying with the law in Cali.

Why did he call it "Pro-Tech"? It's not an obvious name, like Ross' Cutlery or Dave's Knives. Is there any relation to Micro-Tech, or are the similar names just co-incidence?

@@oldstogey7864 So I've got the story for you directly from Dave W himself. Back during the beginning of Pro-Tech Dave was trying to settle on a name and "Pro-Tech" just happened to be on the list of possibilities. At this time the Tactical Response (TR) line was brand new and he was looking to dig into the law enforcement market. Dave noticed that if you took TR and put it on the end of Pro-Tech it sounded like "Protector." So that's what he went with since he liked the sound of it.
