Picked up the same blue Newport and it is an excellent knife and my first automatic. Have to admit that your unboxing of this knife a few weeks ago is what prompted me to buy it and I love it. Only thing I can say is that it's absolutely a two hand closer...just ask my finger that is missing a chunk of skin off it from that finger guillotine ha! Came so sharp that it cut through my finger like a warm knife through butter. Great knife, a lot of fun to deploy, excellent in and out of the pocket and true deep carry clip.

I just got my blue Newport today, & expected 154CM. So imagine my surprise when I look at the blade & see S35VN! I'm over the moon!🌛 This thing is SO awesome! Never owned a Protech auto, just Malibus, & my gosh was I missing out. What incredible craftsmanship. And so snappy! Legendary. 😄

I had the good fortune to get my hands on a lefty Newport and I love it! Perfect for a light duty edc. I agree that the clip is too long, what it needs is the same clip that Protech uses on the SBR. I'm hoping I can purchase one and make the switch. Other than that, I have no complaints.

To clarify clarify California thing, we can own any knife but we can only carry manual folders under 3 inches or automatics under 2 inches. Fixed blades of any size can be carried if carried openly, and ballisongs cannot be carried at all. The Sprint and the Half Breed are he carry-legal Newports.

Nice. Have the same one. Love it, had noticed the clip but given how light it is figured they did that to give it better stability in the pocket. 🤷♂️. Thanks for sharing

Protech also has a smaller clip, which they use on the Drop Mordax and the Cambria (and others, probably).

Protech halfbreed, CA legal whiskers, calmigo, and sprint are all fantastic CA legal autos Outside Protech I’d say Launch 4, Launch 12, hogue CA legal microswitch, and boker vox kompakt. You can’t go wrong with Protech though if you have the money to buy a Protech, buy a Protech

I’ve got this exact one.. my only complaint is the top of frame extends past the bottom of where the blade starts.. it arrived about as dull as a Democrat so I had to spend lot of time getting it hair cut sharp. Now the blue finish is rubbed off exposing the aluminum on the tip. Not huge deal but on a pretty knife that cost over 200 bucks it sucks to have it looking so “unkept”.. smoky mountain knife co needs to step their game up.. when $15 Milwaukee knives come sharper then a protech newport.. there is no excuse.. I get that it is s35vn and hard to sharpen but it was too dull to even cut paper! Love the knife though.. I wish it did have more of a stopping point for hand, it’s not very grippy so if I ever needed to get at something with sweaty hands it could slide up n do some serious damage.. then again this isn’t the knife for that. It’s snappy sleak and seriously sharp once you figure out the 35vn steel!

Love the Newport it is a great sized knife. Hate all pocket clips just throw it in my pocket. I am a gun guy so I don’t care about pocket clips. I laughed when you said hang glider on the back of a Honda it’s as bad as a fart can on Honda. I do like the Newport more than the 9400

I wouldn't pay $1.65 for a knife with allen head screws. Is this how we get to 'do-not-repair' for knives? Fasteners that aren't going to last past a few disassembly cycles? What's next? Proprietary screws like the asshats in Cupertino? They must've saved an entire $0.003 cents. Is the margin on an American knife that thin these days?

I own a protech that I've adjusted dozens of times and it's fine. Not all fasteners are created equal. Whatever Protech is using seems to be fine. It's also not something I ever hear about from other Protech owners.

I’ve got my eyes on a bark river gunny (fixed blade knife) and can’t decide whether to get it in 3V or S45VN. I plan to give it mild use with occasional (once a month) outdoor’s use. I live near a big river in a pretty humid city. What would you recommend?
@christianhaykus452

Judging by how much you said you'll use it I'd say S45VN would probably be the better choice. If you are need it for constant hard use I'd get the 3V, but ultimately it's your choice.

Everyone gets so smitten with Protech they are sub par, over priced junk. Everyone I have owned has been off centered, Uneven grid. If u want a quality American made at a good price get a Kershaw launch.
