PROTECH Magic BR-2 | 154CM Steel Side-Opening Tool | Carbon Fiber & Aircraft Aluminum Handle

2015 USN Knife Show Collector Edition

Designed by legendary bladesmith Mike "Whiskers" Allen, the PROTECH Magic BR-2 earns its name from a seemingly impossible hidden release mechanism. At first glance, you won't find a button anywhere — it's pure magic. The liner itself conceals the unlock, secured by two hex screws, enabling effortless single-hand operation. When you finally feel the blade snap open with authority, you'll understand why this is PROTECH's best-selling modern release.
