I just went to www.protechknives.com and saw what looks like a sebenza clone.I've heard a lot of good things about Pro Tech's autos but this is the 1st manuel opening folder I've heard of them making.It looks great but the site says starting at $500.It seems like a lot even though the blade is custom ground.At least its good to know the intregal lock is starting to catch on,a lot of factory and custom makers are making this knid of lock.Does anyone have any info about this knife?I would appreciate any coments.

I believe that it is basically a W. R. Clark custom based on the protech TR-3.
At $500 it is very expensive.
But it is a fantastic looking knife and i would buy one in a second at a $150 price point.
Many makers use the integral frame lock design, and it's not accurate to call them "sebenza clones" I beleive Mr. Walker invented the integral lock (a permutation of the liner lock) about the same time as chris reeve began the sebenza.
