ProTech Large Don tuxedo

[jim d,]

Finally found a ProTech Large Don with a plain stainless blade, a tuxedo model. Apparently, large Dons haven't been made for a while and as of earlier this year they weren't on the ProTech production schedule for 2024. It is large for a ProTech, just under 10 1/2 inches open. It is quite the wrist shaker, no surprise given its size and that it is a ProTech coil spring fired knife.

Jim, I remember when that Knife debuted years ago, it was an immediate sensation which appeared on many covers of many Knife/Blade magazines, and the limited edition of your knife was also the winner of the 2010 Knife magazine Award for ProTech’s investor/collector Knife of the year and only 10 were made. I always love the tuxedo addition and you’re right it is a really hard snapping coil spring. I hope Allen will chime in as he has some rare examples. Congratulations Jim…

Great to see you post, Sal, and you too Abe!

Allen has shared photos of some of his ProTechs. They are beyond amazing!

That's a beauty and I thought about buying one of those a few years ago but it may have been the smaller one. I have the tuxedo Godson.

A beauty, Jim!

Those are so pointy I know the first thing I would do is jab myself or drop it and break the tip.

Yes Terry, it has a very sharp tip. I like ProTech's mafia themed models, Godfather, Godson, Don, and all of mine arrived extremely sharp and pointy. Caution must be exercised when handling.
