Blade Show Atlanta is about to get a serious dose of West Coast precision. Pro-Tech is rolling out the Avalon for the 2026 show, and this thing is the whole package from tip to tail. We're talking sapphire blue PVD Magnacut steel on the blade, a finish that shifts between deep ocean and midnight depending on how the light hits it. The solid black aluminum handle keeps the profile slim and fast, while black lip pearl on the button adds just enough subtle contrast to remind you this isn't another off-the-shelf automatic.
The hardware runs black throughout—thumb studs, screws, clip—so nothing breaks the visual flow. Even the long deep carry clip disappears against dark fabric. But the real flex here is the serialization: only 200 pieces, each individually numbered, and every single one ships with a matching DLC titanium lanyard bead designed by @peaceneighbor. That bead isn't an afterthought; it's the finishing touch that ties the entire build together, same black finish, same zero-compromise attitude.
This is the BSA26.Avalon.1, built specifically for June 5-7 at Cobb Galleria in Atlanta, Georgia. If you're chasing a limited Pro-Tech that actually delivers on the hype, table time at Blade Show ATL is non-negotiable. When 200 pieces are gone, they're gone—no restocks, no second editions. Just a clean, mean, sapphire-and-black automatic that proves why Pro-Tech remains the name serious collectors whisper when the conversation turns to production knives done right.
