ProTech Newport Auto Knife Black (3" Stonewash) 3405
Perfect EDC knife!

The Kershaw 1 looks awesome!
It the perfect size , feels great in the hand.i like that body is more narrow ,when it's clipped in my pocket it not bulky at all and I hardly know it's there. The action is fast and strong and the build quality feels very premium. The customer service was fantastic and the shipping was timely.
I would highly recommend North River Outdoors !! And I look forward to doing business with them again!

Perfection

This is a solid knife build. The craftsmanship is phenomenal, the release is fast and assured, no delay (hang on) no nonsense locking once deployed. Absolutely worth the purchase!

Todd C.
Pro-Tech Emerson E7T Operator Tritium Button Tanto Knife (3.25" Black)
Superb customer service and definitely feel the quality in the product

Super sharp... my left arm is nearly hairless. It feels good in my hands and the pocket and I wanted a D/A OTF. It has a nice snappy deployment and the tanto blade with serrations looks awesome. There is a real sense of craftsmanship with this line of microtechs.

I ordered online but picked up in the store since I was traveling through the area. Jesse is excellent and I could have spent hours there - so glad I got to stop in, and I will definitely be back.

Esse PR4

I’m extremely picky on anything I buy. I usually research the item for a year before I get it and I’m glad I bought this. The knife is extremely durable feeling in the hand and the leather holster is actually nice and not some cheap piece of junk. The blade is stout and the way the grips are mounted to the tang is solid. The grips also feel very very nice in the hand. If you hold this knife you wil buy it! And this is the best place to buy anything from they are easy to deal with!

Stitch review and feedback to NRO

Thanks for the speedy delivery of the Microtech Stitch.
My only suggestion would be a notice of shipment email to buyers. So they are not left in the dark on status of item. I understand ya'll are a small business but, by sharing an update with customers will reduce the amount of concern calls to the shop. Love the knife and thanks for the service you provide.
