Protech Walter Brend Auto 2 Knife

September 3, 2007

This Brend Auto 2 is currently shown by Protech as a protype, but when this knife comes into production, it is guaranteed to be a beauty.  This knife can definitely be a carry model with a weight of only 1.9 ounces, yet has a fairly long blade length to weight ration with a a 2.9" blade length and an overall length of 6.6".  The standard blade is 154-CM stainless steel, 0.110 thick with a 59RC hardness.

Their prototyope model shown is an artistic creation with a Mike Norris Damascus blade and a 416SS stainless frame beautifully accented with white mother of Pearl inlays and retails for $900.  The standard models should come a bit less expensive.

This knife is a smaller than the previous Walter Brend Auto 1, which had a 4.5" blade and which was sold in a variety of handle colors, inlay options and blade finishes.  I suspect the Auto 2 version will also offer a similar array of choices.  Regardless, of the options, this Brend model knife is an excellent carry knife and based off of the previously price models from $300 to $420, I believe this knife will be a good value.
