Awesome knives you have there Amigo!

I will say this, my Pro Tech knives all hold the edge better than my ZT knives, so in my opinion the CPM154 is pretty damn good steel as they are wickedly sharp as well

I always wondered why Pro Tech uses 154 CM in 99% of their knifes now it makes perfect sense and I kinda of hope they switched to it on these, we will see what Dave tells me

It does have a pocket clip

I did not know all of that, very interesting stuff there

The Blades are supposed to be D2, I have sent your question to Dave, I will let you know what he says

Dave at Pro Tech told me these are some of the nicest ones they have done, I see that now I can't wait until I get these

A finished TGO LG101, I think they came out great!

Here is one finished, I think they came out great, the back has "Knife Freedom Day 7/1/2014" and the serial number

For those of you who know like I do, Tony builds one hell of a knife!

The logo is not printed or painted on, it is laser anodized. These are commemorative knives celebrating the day automatics are finally allowed to be carried in Tennessee, nowhere were they advertised as Tactical as you put it, I explained these knives as best as I could throughout the build, Pro Tech did the Logo exactly as they were supposed to, I am sorry that you or anyone else does not like it, Hopefully there will be several more forum knives one thing I can tell you for certain is none of them will be the same they will all be different, some will love them some will not it is just the way these things go

I will post pictures of the first finished knife when they are sent to me, I know that once you all receive these knives you are going to love them,

It should hold up just like any anodizing, think of this way, every knife out there that is aluminum or Titanium that is black is anodized, as the raw form is not black in color I have a TR3 Pro Tech that is anodized Red, it has been through hell and at around 5 years old still is as Red as it was when new

When time gets closer, Dave will be laser etching some samples, I will post them and let you all decide the ones we use for the way the logo will be scribed

I just spoke with Dave, He has a guy building these right now, Dave's own words "these are some of the nicest knives we have ever put out" I am expecting them to be shipped to me next Tuesday, this comes from the man himself Almost there folks!

The Godfather will have the logo similar to the lowers that were offered by CMT, Too much would ruin the appeal of the Tuxedo look and scrimshaw

Yes Fred, Pro tech will be building me one and I will post pictures of it, should be in August

Nope, It will only be in scrimshaw it will have the logo but not in color on the ivory micarta

Guys, It is exactly like the TGO logo, as it's supposed to be

Patience young Grasshopper, good things come to those who wait!

I think the anodizing came out great on these, these knives are going to be very special

Here are some pictures of the TGO side of the handles

Fred, I am glad you got to meet him, he is an awesome guy and a good friend of mine

Keep your fingers crossed Ladies and Gentleman, these may be done sooner than expected. If they are I will be shipping them out as soon as I get them, you all need to keep in mind that these need to be kept in your house and may not be carried until July1st in the event that I get them to you sooner. I will update this as soon as I can

Exactly the reason I had to have it!
