A Different Kind of Leading Role
The Pro-Tech Avalon PN1103 is a striking expression of contemporary folding-knife design, combining premium materials, precision engineering and a distinctive all-black aesthetic. Designed by Hollywood actor Shawn Ashmore, best known for his roles in the X-Men film franchise and The Boys, the Avalon represents an exciting collaboration between his Peace Neighbor design venture and Pro-Tech’s renowned American manufacturing expertise. Its substantial proportions, carefully sculpted handle and distinctive mechanical detailing give it a character all of its own, while the coordinated black DLC finish creates a particularly refined and understated appearance. A departure from more conventional folding-knife designs, the Avalon combines celebrity design pedigree with genuine enthusiast appeal, making it an especially interesting addition to the Pro-Tech collection.

A New Design Perspective
The Avalon features a high-performance 4" MagnaCut stainless steel blade, finished in black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) for a durable, low-reflectivity surface with excellent wear resistance. The black-finished handle features distinctive texturing and carefully machined detailing, complemented by blasted thumb studs and matching blasted hardware that introduce a subtle contrast to the otherwise monochromatic finish. Dual thumb studs provide convenient manual deployment, supported by a precision ball-bearing pivot for exceptionally smooth action. A button-operated locking mechanism provides secure blade retention, while the carefully considered handle ergonomics and deep-carry pocket clip complete a thoroughly modern EDC design. Manufactured in the USA by Pro-Tech, the Avalon brings together MagnaCut performance, distinctive styling and the creative vision of Shawn Ashmore in a particularly compelling premium folder. It does not carry like a 4" bladed knife.
