The Tuxedo is the Godfather's dress configuration — black anodized aluminum handle scales fitted with ivory micarta inlays that run along the center of both scales. The black and cream contrast is where the Tuxedo name comes from. The satin blade finish matches the refined aesthetic of the handle rather than the matte or DLC finishes found on tactical configurations. It is the same proven Godfather platform mechanically — push-button coil spring, button lock, 4-inch 154CM spear point — in the most visually formal expression Pro-Tech produces for the model.

Ivory micarta is a synthetic composite material — a resin-impregnated fabric or paper laminate that mimics the appearance of natural ivory without using any animal-derived materials. It has a warm cream tone, a fine texture that provides grip, and the dimensional stability of a composite material that does not absorb moisture or crack with temperature changes. On the Godfather 951, the ivory micarta inlays are set into the black aluminum scales as accent panels rather than full handle scales, creating the high-contrast Tuxedo look.

The 951 uses 154CM stainless steel with a satin finish. 154CM is the high-chromium stainless Pro-Tech has used across the Godfather platform since 2001 — proven edge retention through sustained daily use, reliable corrosion resistance, and straightforward sharpening on any ceramic or diamond medium. The satin finish gives the blade a polished, non-reflective appearance that suits the Tuxedo's dress aesthetic.

The Pro-Tech Godfather is a push-button automatic knife with a 4-inch blade. Automatic knife laws vary significantly by state and locality — some states permit them freely, others restrict by blade length, and some prohibit them entirely. The 4-inch blade also exceeds the threshold in some jurisdictions that otherwise allow automatics. Knifeworks recommends verifying your local and state laws before purchasing or carrying. A compliance form is required at checkout.

The Pro-Tech Godfather is built in Placentia, California to American manufacturing tolerances — it is not an Italian import. The Italian-inspired stiletto profile, 9.60-inch overall length, and push-button automatic deployment draw from the Italian stiletto tradition, but the execution is American. Pro-Tech machines the handle, grinds the blade, and assembles the knife in-house. The result is a knife that has won the Blade Magazine Investor/Collector of the Year Award and remained in continuous production since 2001 without needing revision.

The Godfather 951 measures 9.60 inches overall when open with a 4-inch blade. Closed length is 5.60 inches. It weighs 4.0 oz. The slim stiletto profile carries well in a front or jacket pocket despite the closed length, and the tip-up right-hand clip keeps it oriented for a single-motion draw.
