When I first saw Warren Thomas' work, I wasn't sure it was a knife. She is more like a very special work of art, how to say, the feeling for men is like the attraction of a purely handmade mechanical watch, with the style of Patek Philippe, or the attraction of jewelry to women.

This is a man's portable EDC, the biggest feature is that it doesn't use any steel, and even the screws and back clips are titanium. Lighter than titanium is carbon fiber, which is the kind of material used in high-end sports cars. The handle made of carbon fiber, even the blade material, has the effect that the finished product is light and strong.

This little thing is called invisibility because the material can't detect the shape characteristics of the tool under the X-ray machine. It is said that it was first developed and manufactured specifically for some agents.

The author of this little paw is Warren Thomas, a geek who uses carbon fiber and titanium alloy to make blades, and is famous for his changeable and unique style. His works have been popular for 25 years since 1993. It's a pity that I searched all over the Internet and couldn't find his photo. I can only feel his personality charm through his works.

The ideas of cattle people are different from those of the public. In the era of live broadcast, it is hard to imagine someone hiding behind his works for nearly 30 years. This reminds me of Mr. Qian Zhongshu. Once, Qian Zhongshu said to a lady who wanted to visit him, "If you eat an egg and think it tastes good, why do you want to know the hen of this egg?"

Maybe Warren thinks his works have explained everything about him.

From 1993, Warren took the lead in using advanced materials in tool manufacturing. Folding knives and straight knives made of carbon fiber, titanium and titanium carbide are light in weight, fast in speed, extremely high in strength, non-magnetic and non-corrosive.

Before him, some special tools were made of these materials, because titanium alloy had low hardness and could not be heat treated, so its sharpness was not satisfactory. Warren Thomas overcame the shortcomings of titanium alloy by plating a layer of tungsten carbide on the blade, and made a perfect titanium alloy tool, which gave full play to the advantages of titanium alloy such as no rust, light weight and good elasticity. Tungsten carbide coated particles form micro-sawtooth effect and have excellent cutting performance.

Perhaps for those who are used to steel knives, the feeling of titanium alloy knives is not so real, but its unique metallic charm is shocking enough. Lightweight, feather-like feel exudes a little mystery, and the characteristics of never rusting are intoxicating.

Warren Thomas is also committed to advanced tool design. The locking mechanism, blade shape and grinding, and tools used with various handles and styles have been carefully considered and tested. Warren Thomas's tools are used in the world under actual tactical conditions. The feedback from each owner in turn promoted the improvement of Warren's tools and helped him develop the lightest, strongest and fastest tools.

Warren Thomas's knives are not only unique in materials, but also diverse in shapes. His works cover all fields of knives. The first knife he made was a Japanese long-handled wide-bladed knife, which was a bit like Guan Gong's broadsword. There is still a legacy of our residence, the one used by Lu Junyi in Water Margin. When in use, the wooden stick is spliced with the cutter head and disassembled when not in use, which is convenient to carry. If such a knife is made of steel, it will be heavy. If you really go to war, you don't have much strength. You may be tired of being with this person first. But what Warren Thomas made with new materials is completely different. It can be said to be as light as a feather.

This is a long titanium alloy knife improved by Warren Thomas according to the traditional Japanese knife. This long knife is not a Japanese style knife, nor is it a knife. Naginata in Japan prefers ninja knives, and the blade is relatively straight, which is convenient for pulling out the knife from behind. The handle is also relatively long, which is convenient for both hands to chop.

Warren Thomas added a larger spatula to the ninja knife and formed his own unique style. The center of the blade is titanium alloy, and both sides are carbon fiber patches. The handle is made of carbon fiber, which has the effect of winding rope. WT also made a k sheath for it, and the curved two-section k sheath is a bit funny. The whole knife is less than 500 grams. It's an unforgettable experience with a flick.

This is his work 1, which is a very popular collection. The blade structure is titanium core, and carbon fiber is laminated on both sides. Oak shaft and gray knife shovel, Japanese traditional handle winding rope. About seven feet tall, this Japanese dagger naginata feels different. Its excellent balance and incredible lightness make it an unparalleled performance and aesthetic weapon.

This sword is characterized by a blade with a titanium core. Both sides of the core are laminated with carbon fibers to reduce weight and increase speed while maintaining excellent strength. The flag leaf is made of solid carbon fiber, the handle is wrapped with black Japanese knife rope and cured with epoxy resin, and the scabbard is made of Fraxinus mandshurica.

Warren Thomas is definitely a very interesting person. As can be seen from his next works, he not only innovated the materials for making knives, but also innovated many designs with wide brain holes. For example, in the subcategory of claw knives, he designed novel shapes and interesting locking structures.

He used all kinds of shapes, such as inverted curve, three sides, ring hole and bird head, with ease. Compared with the traditional grinding steel sheet, I wonder if his method of crossing tungsten steel and carbon fiber is easier.

Karambit, a claw-back knife, has unparalleled defense ability and exquisite appearance of aluminized carbon fiber and anodized titanium oxide.

Warren Thomas also made some hand companions, even without any steel in them. The price of $275 is not cheap, not scabbard, but it is still cheap compared with the carbon fiber works of mad dog. Mad dog's trapeze carbon fiber knife-shaped hand companion costs $650. Kevin named it trapeze, does it mean that such a knife can get on the plane freely? Whether the law allows it or not, the optical machine can't detect it, which I dare not guess.
