Warren Thomas {Model 2 Tanto}

[mafiajimmy]

Dude, this totally mind fucked me. The lock bar is resting on the micarta?

[JohnWayneColt45]

@mafiajimmy haha no way my man.Its on Titanium.

[mafiajimmy]

@JohnWayneColt45 Is the titanium bent over micarta or what? Sorry for being annoying

[JohnWayneColt45]

@mafiajimmy no problem.

Well..the blade is full Titanium, but it has a piece of Micarta laminated to it, but the tang of the blade is still Titanium.I'm not sure exactly how he fuses the two together, but the blade is full Titanium with just a patch of Micarta on it.

[ZeroTechSkilz]

John you truly have the best collection I've ever seen.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@ZeroTechSkilz Thanks!!!!

[yukiotakata]

ALARM!

KNIFEPORN LEVEL5!KNIFEPORN LEVEL5!

[binothing]

I think Warren Thomas calls that the Alienskin pattern

[AyeJay99]

I can really appreciate that he put the flat chisel side on the correct side.....some makers put it on the other side to be more visually appealing.

[TheLazySpoiledKitty]

That's an awsome knife bro!!

[Daninja42]

That thing is crazy!

[bluehulk83]

Hi B, if that has a 3.5 inch blade, its a model 2.5. the model 2 has 2 inch blade. great vid amazing knife.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@bluehulk83 The model 2 has a 3 1/4" blade.

Thansk for watching!!

[bluehulk83]

@JohnWayneColt45 Thanks B, the specs on Knifeart are different.

[pietermoore]

I'd be concerned with that lockbar hitting micarta over and over. There is no way the lockup will last. I do like the knife tho!!

[JohnWayneColt45]

@pietermoore Its hitting titanium, not micarta.Yeah,that would of been real bad..lol

[xiuxiu1313]

Very nice! I'm glad to have a WT in my collection....it will probably stay with just one LOL, but I love having something so unique and original.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@xiuxiu1313 I agree.Hes definitely more of an Art knife maker than a user maker.Very cool stuff though!

[talley1013]

Does the lock face mate to micarta?

[JohnWayneColt45]

@talley1013 Nope, Titanium.

[talley1013]

Hate it

[JohnWayneColt45]

@talley1013 Good to know.

[neonightkiller]

beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder on that piece bro.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@neonightkiller Its actually a pretty basic knife design.Green micarta scales,titanium framelock.Tanto blade.

[tamaleaga10]

"Practical knife?" I wouldn't put that knife to hard use. Looks like it should sit in a display case. Pretty, but not very functional.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@tamaleaga10..Definitely functional.Have you ever used a knife with carbides?

It may not slice clean like steal but it surely can cut.

[oromoto]

Pretty nice man!

[john1112112]

Man, you alweays have a unique knife to make a video on, i love it!

[JohnWayneColt45]

@john1112112 Thank you!

I'm always on the hunt for something new and cool.

[ATF6281914]

Damn, that is one FUGLY ass knife!

[jbrind00]

Just as an FYI that "fingerprint" finish is called his alien skin finish.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@jbrind00 Ah..Thats right.I've heard that before.Thanks for the help.

[cthiggins4]

That would be a safe queen at my house. Warren Thomas is an amazing designer for sure.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@cthiggins4 Its definitely not gonna be a full time or hard use knife, but I am going to edc it some for sure.

[DaBossk]

lol i can imagine anyone who doesnt collect knives, to easily say that is the most disgusting looking knife ever made lol

[JohnWayneColt45]

@DaBossk hahaha.. very true.

[velocity6]

good luck cutting with it.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@velocity6 It definitely cuts, obviously not a clean cut like steel, but it cuts.

[darkchild57]

Nice! Great buy!

[JohnWayneColt45]

@darkchild57 Hey buddy!!

Thanks.

[istephan007]

love the angle on that tanto!

[istephan007]

wow!

[Rudemustang1]

Nice Score Jon!!!

[JohnWayneColt45]

@Rudemustang1 Thanks!!!

[Alexanderedietz]

great piece man i love wt knives iv had a couple in the past.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@Alexanderedietz Thanks man.Always wanted to give him a try, but most his knives are so extreme.This one is atleastpractical..well somewhat :)

[Alexanderedietz]

@JohnWayneColt45 ha i was scared to use mine the anodizing is very "touchy" i also found it hard to get a sharp edge since its ti. but cool knife for sure.

[JohnWayneColt45]

@Alexanderedietz Its definitely not gonna be a regular edc blade, thats for sure and certainly not my work edc.But it'll find its way into the pocket some times.Its not a clean cutter by any means, but it can surely handle menial tasks. I've been so back and forth lately on knives I may or may not keep it, we'll see.I have a Snody friction folder coming with a Ti blade as well.

[Alexanderedietz]

@JohnWayneColt45 very cool man snodys are nice you should compare both like edge geometry and such im sure one will beat out the other!

[JohnWayneColt45]

@Alexanderedietz Great idea man!! I'll surely do that.Can't wait to get it, the wait is killing me...

[SrJoben]

That's awesome. Crazy unique build style and materials. Good stuff.

[necro713]

Nice video, and gorgeous knife!

if you ever want to offload that Beretta WT colab I am very interested!

Jim

[asilaydying1984]

[hoosky76]

[JDYTC]
