If the laws governing the use of automatic knives were relaxed, they'd overwhelm the marketplace; as it is, only a select few can legally purchase and carry them.

So, if you're a James Bond type, policeman, active duty military, or even an emergency medical technician, you can own this chunk of style. Otherwise you may have to give up a hand to qualify, because if you've lost the use of one you're allowed to have this one in the other. Seems unfair to the rest of us, but at least we can sit back and admire.

The coil spring action of the Godson dependably releases a 3.25" modified dagger stainless steel blade with a single push of a button. The Godson Tuxedo accents the polished ivory look of the Micarta inlays with a black Tungsten DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) that is one of the most durable finishes with the ability to stick to stainless steel. The nonreflective surfaces of blade and bolster give this knife functional beauty.

Certainly you could use this knife for ordinary tasks like peeling apples and trimming the insulation from electrical wires, but it seems too good for that. It's a knife for the extreme edge of society.

Dating back to Renaissance battles against fully armoured knights, the stiletto design originally was created to punch through metal armour.

A long and bloody history took the stiletto dagger through military battlefields of World War I, and finally into modern times where this particular style of knife, easily concealed and opened with a touch of the finger, is restricted mostly to law enforcement and military personnel.

A knife like Protech's Godfather, with a full sized open length of 9.6" and a stainless steel blade of 4", takes the automatic knife into a higher level of both art and engineering. American improvements such as tungsten DLC coating (Diamond Like Carbon) and handles machined from solid slabs of aircraft quality aluminum result in high tech knives with a traditional look and enhanced dependability. The modified dagger point blade has a thinner cross section and more delicate build than the knives from the 1950's. If through some quirk of fortune you have a legal need for an automatic knife, for ordinary tasks, you may want to pick something that wasn't patterned after an assassin's weapon.

The stainless steel pocket clip, another American perk, keeps this knife at the ready even in the pocket of 007's best suit.
