Protech Malibu Numbers

This came today


Love the action but the button lock does have some stick. Hopefully it will break in with a couple hundred flips.

Did Protech stop numbering the Malibu’s on the spine?

I’ve had two and neither had a number on the spine, just the Protech name.

I just received one today and it only has the Protech name on the spine also. No number on the knife or the box.

i think it was just the first production run that was numbered

Thanks!

The Warncliffe is #32, the Reverse Tanto is #301. As others have mentioned, the Reverse Tanto isn't quite as snappy so I added a thumb-stud. Works beautifully. Now I can flip it using the flipper or thumb stud, and I can middle flick it as well.

I have the Reverse Tanto with blue handle. No serial # on the spine.

Why isn’t the Reverse Tanto as snappy as the Wharncliffe?

I have wanted one since the summer, a blue wharncliffe. Got sick of waiting for a new batch. Maybe they'll have a green one at some point.

The could have. Maybe it was just for the first run. I ended up trading mine after a while. Great knife but hey they'll make more. Plus they've been saying more manuals are coming soon.

Weight seems to be the factor between blade profiles, but some reports that the wharn hits out faster.

Got it. I love the reverse tanto, but can see myself with a wharncliffe in the future. The knife is fargin amazing!

Nice!

I have the reverse tanto one I am new to the hobby, only about a year. I have a bunch of autos. Ever since I got the Malibu a few weeks ago, I’ve been on the prowl for manual flippers...

So I've had the all blacked out reverse tanto. I currently have the blue satin blade one and the black with satin blade one now. I think the all black one was a little on the sticky side compared to the others. My blue one has the markings of PR#86 on the spine. My black one only has ProTech com-20cv. My ProTech Mordax doesn't have any #numbers but it's buttery smooth.
