Description

The ProTech BST26 Malibu, crafted exclusively for the 2026 Texas Blade Show, represents a refined evolution of one of ProTech’s most celebrated automatic designs. Known for its precision engineering and clean, functional aesthetics, the Malibu platform has earned a strong reputation among knife enthusiasts and professionals alike. This limited-edition configuration elevates the standard model with premium materials, a striking finish, and meticulous attention to detail. At the core of this knife is a 3.25-inch reverse tanto blade made from CPM MagnaCut steel, a cutting-edge stainless steel prized for its exceptional balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade is finished in a distinctive smoky grey DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, enhancing durability while providing a sleek, subdued appearance that resists wear and glare. The reverse tanto profile offers excellent tip strength and precise control, making it ideal for both utility and detailed cutting tasks. The handle is constructed from lightweight yet incredibly strong 7075 aluminum, finished in black and enhanced with an eye-catching dragon scale texture. This pattern not only adds visual depth but also improves grip and handling in various conditions. Complementing the handle are sapphire blue accents, including the hardware and signature push-button, which add a refined pop of color and exclusivity to this Blade Show edition. ProTech’s button-lock flipper mechanism ensures smooth, reliable deployment with a satisfying action that the Malibu is known for. The short deep-carry pocket clip allows for discreet and secure carry, while maintaining easy access when needed. Weighing just under 3 ounces, this full-size knife delivers a perfect balance of portability and performance.
