The Malibu is Pro-Tech's exciting entry into the manual flipper market. The Malibu comes in two blade shapes: a Reverse Tanto or Wharncliffe. Both now feature premium CPM Magnacut blade steel for unbelievably long edge retention, strength and corrosion resistance. They have a high flat grind to provide a razor cutting edge that terminates in a fine piercing tip. The overall aesthetic of the blade is kept free from markings on the front and back show sides. The Pro-Tech makers mark has been hidden from view on the spine of the knife, while the steel stamp is cleverly hidden on the flipper tab, providing a clean form devoid of superfluous markings. The handle features thoroughly developed ergonomics designed to comfortably fit any size hand; sporting a gently curved spine with finger indexing set into the chamfer on the front of the handle. A mini deep carry clip ensures that this slender knife carries discreetly.

What truly sets the Malibu apart from other knives on the market is its amazingly smooth action that can easily be opened and closed with one hand, while never placing your fingers in the path of the blade. Our unique tuned button lock detent system provides a crisp breaking detent release when the blade is flipped. This distinct system does this using only the button lock itself, with no other detent mechanism necessary. Once open, simply close the blade with an easy push of the button and tilt of the handle. The blade runs on ultra smooth ball bearings riding on protective hardened steel washers, which allows the blade to flow gracefully from open to close with nothing more than a light flick of the flipper and push of the button.

 Pro-Tech has been producing some of the highest quality and snappiest automatic knives in the world since 1999. Family-owned and based out of Placentia, California. Each Pro-Tech Knife is warrantied to the original purchaser to be free from defects in materials and craftsmanship by Pro-Tech Knives, LLC for life.

    Pro-Tech Malibu - CPM Maganacut (Blue Alum)

    Posted by D. Michael on 16th Mar 2024

    The Pro-Tech Malibu - CPM Maganacut (Blue Alum) is one of my favorite button locks. The action is soo smooth and the blade shape, feel and handle are very nice in my hand. This is a great knife and a great every day carrier. In CA, a lot of Pro-Tech stuff can't be carried and this is a great alternative to a lot of the autos / OTF's. I could not be happier. I have not been able to try the 20CV blade, they have always been sold out, but I was happy to purchase in MagnaCut. I am not sure of the HRC, but so far, I have not had any issues. I've only had to do a light touch-up once after some heavy use and the blade bites. The button lock is so smooth out of the box, no adjustment or even break in period was necessary. I am very happy and this blade will be in my possession for a very long time. I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a Pro-Tech non-auto.
