Walter Brend M2

[willis68]

If any of you are familiar with Walter Brend, you know that paying $340.00 for one of his knifes is a steal. It took me a while to find these and I was shocked to see they still had any left, but Walter did a run of these D2 Automatic knives and they are built like tanks.

I have a lot of friends on the knife forums that own several expensive knives and the M2 by Walter Brend is regarded as one of the best built autos out there, they are as strong as any folding knife

This is what the OD green model looks like



I already ordered one so I am posting the link in case any of you may want to order one

[TripleDigitRide]

That grind it pretty sweet. Congrats.

This one and and my Executive Scarab will be the first ones I will carry if the law goes into effect, and if it does go onto the books come June I will begin to buy at least 5 more to join them so I will have a different one for every day of the week,

That is how I will be celebrating the passing of this bill!

Beautiful, willis. I know very little about knives, but do have a fondness for the autos. Not even close to this quality, but I'm just a pocket knife, apple peeling sort of guy.

This one...

 

 

You get it in OD green?

[willis68]

You get it in OD green?

Yes, it will be here Tuesday

[Capbyrd]

Yeah I want a green one but I can't until after my orders come up.

I ordered a USN goat Head and toxic green and black lanyard for it, I think it will look cool!

[Capbyrd]

Yeah it will. I like those goat beads. Need to order me a few.

Honestly, if this law goes into effect I am done with all of my favorite custom flipper knives. I actually backed out of a group buy for RJ Martin who is my favorite knife maker but as much as I love his I like automatics better and always will I have always been fascinated with them and if I am finally allowed to legally carry them here in Tennessee I will be extremely pleased

[Capbyrd]

While I can agree with that, I still want knives from my friends.  I've gotten to be good friends with a lot of the TN makers.

I probably won't go "all in" with autos, but I'll for sure get a couple of great ones. Your first two picks would be really hard to beat.

Awesome knife, but my wife would neuter me with it if I paid that for one

Yes mine neutered me a long time ago for buying high end knives and guns Edited April 7, 2014 by willis68

There will be blood.  : )

[willis68]

This evening I spoke on the phone with Walter Brend, he is an awesome guy he will be building me a Custom D2 in the near future, I probably will never carry it as it is going to be way too nice to do so but I will cherish it

I had no idea what a great man he was until I spoke with him, Edited April 8, 2014 by willis68

[sigmtnman]

What are you having done?

[willis68]

What are you having done?

Still deciding

[sigmtnman]

Whats the wait time?

[willis68]

For me not long at all

[willis68]

I never thought I would be saying this but this Brand M2 knife is built just as good if not better than my Rick Hinderer XM knives. Without a doubt this is the absolute best $340.00 I have ever spent. I would have paid a lot more for this knife and been extremely satisfied! Edited April 9, 2014 by willis68
