HAND CRAFTED IN THE USA

A mutation of a Batclaw with a Chaos - many changes were made in the prototyping phase including removal of the thumb-ramp and changing of the handle shape.  The result is a stunner of a self-defense knife.  Laminated with rare and exotic G-30 (Norplex P95) which is a both extremely light and extremely hard material.

This is a P-1 marked prototype and a very nice piece as usual from Warren.

WHAT IS G-30 (Norplex P95)?

Norplex P95 is a reinforced thermoset composite polymer made from a woven glass fabric with polyimide resin engineered to maintain excellent physical properties at 240°C with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and high mechanical strength.

What is a custom knife?  Many so-called "custom knives" are no more than CNC machined pieces created in AutoCAD or other similar 3D modelling programs.  Their designers may assemble the pieces or have shop assistants do it for them.  Many high end "custom" knives may not even touch the maker's hand before being shipped out.  Warren Thomas starts each and every knife as pieces of raw material, machines them to exacting tolerances, then grinds and finishes them. Although Warren is famous for his collaborations with makers such as Spyderco and Beretta, he prefers to do his own thing and has never been happy with the production versions of his blades.  He'd much rather experiment and push the edge of knife technology, as he's done for over 25 years.  His style has been emulated by knife makers across the world.  Each piece is an extension of the maker - a lost art in this day and age of automated machinery. If some of these so-called "custom" knives are truly "custom" - why is it that you can buy replacement scales for them?  Are there custom makers out there so exact that every piece they make by hand is identical?  The answer is undoubtedly no.  When you buy a Warren Thomas knife, you're buying an entirely handmade creation - no                                                  two knives are exactly alike.  There is no CNC machine...  No assembly line full of assistants filling orders...  No laser or water jet cutting...  No computer-aided automation...  Only one man, his hands, a machine shop, and his imagination...
