Pro-Tech Rockeye
The Pro-Tech Rockeye is a production version of a custom folder by Les George, a 10 year Marine Corps veteran trained in explosive entry and close quarters combat. Pro-Tech builds it as a full-size side opening automatic, with the Pro-Tech logo on one side of the blade and the George cross on the other. It is one of the maker collaborations covered in our Pro-Tech brand history.
Pro-Tech Rockeye Specs
The Rockeye carries a 3.375 inch drop point on 0.125 inch stock in a 5 inch aluminum handle, measures 8.375 inches open, and weighs about 4.6 ounces. It is a stout, full-size auto with a broad blade and a handle that fills the hand. A single button fires the coil spring and releases the lock to close, and the clip is set for right hand tip up carry.
Rockeye Blade Steels
Current Rockeyes run CPM MagnaCut, the tough, highly stain resistant stainless. You will also find S35VN builds, a proven all-rounder, and D2, a tool steel that holds a working edge well but can rust and needs a wipe down. Earlier runs used CPM 154. Our knife steel guide lines up all of them side by side.
Rockeye Operator and Handle Options
Smooth handles come in black, blue, and green. Textured builds run black, grey, and a green carbide pattern. Blades are stonewashed, black DLC, or smoky grey DLC. The Rockeye Operator is the all-business version: a black handle with a black DLC MagnaCut blade.
Rockeye vs TR Series and Godfather
If you want a hard-use Pro-Tech auto, the choice usually comes down to this or the Tactical Response series. The TR line is Pro-Tech's own duty design, built in a range of sizes. The Rockeye is a custom maker's working folder, translated to an auto. The Godfather is longer still, but it is a slim stiletto built more for elegance than hard use.
