Prince Customs Protean Folder Knife 20CV Blade Tanto Grind with Blue Putter Machined Titanium Handle

This Prince Customs Protean (Serial Number 1101) is a distinctive custom configuration built around a blasted CPM 20CV tanto blade and a titanium frame. The 3.125-inch blade gives the compact Protean a strong, angular profile with a reinforced tip and clean utility geometry, while the 7.125-inch overall length keeps the knife compact and easy to carry.

The blue-anodized titanium handle features Prince Customs' Putter treatment, machined putter-style texturing for a handle that is both visually intricate and highly tactile. The machined surface treatment adds grip and depth to the titanium frame.  The finishes and materials give this Protean a highly individualized appearance without obscuring the clean proportions of the underlying design.

The Protean is built as a compact premium frame-lock folder with caged ceramic bearings riding on hardened steel thrust washers. This example combines the functional foundation of the Protean with a particularly elaborate mix of milling, skeletonization, anodizing, and premium accent materials.
