Prototype Knife 2 of 3 by Nate Clark. This Dual Action Automatic is a Scale Release Knife. Basically, the blade is deployed by sliding the scale of the handle forward. The knife can be opened manually as well. This setup is very effective for concealing the fact that this is indeed an automatic knife - and a very fast one at that. The scales are unpolished carbon fiber and the housing / mechanism is all titanium. This is the second of three extremely rare prototype knives available only at KnifeMakersDatabase.
For the record, KnifeMakersDatabase.com, now in its fith year on-line, has a 100% customer satisfaction record with no complaints and no returns. However, not many customers take the time to send an email expressing their satisfaction upon receiving their order. This is understandable. People are busy. I don't email every company I place orders with to let them know how everything went. For some reason though, those customers who purchased a Mann Made Knife must have felt they just had to let us know how happy they were, because every one sent us emails stating how impressed they were with the knives they bought. My favorite was from a gentleman who purchased one of the first Mann knives on our site who stated:
"Finally, someone who doesn't exaggerate when talking about
how sharp a blade is. If it doesn't take the hair off your arm,
it's not razor sharp. This knife is truly razor sharp and holds
that keen edge to boot! My arm is bald.
Thanks Joe and thank-you Craig!"
And thank you sir! We all hope your arm hair makes a swift and pain free recovery. Next time, we recommend sticking to one "test area" if you can contain yourself! Remember, KMD does not endorse shaving with our knives. If you cut yourself, don't call me.

This automatic knife is composed of carbon fiber scales housing an all titanium frame. It is a dual action model and is lightning fast as far as automatic knives are concerned. This is one of the three PROTOTYPE knives made for knifemakersdatabase.com. Each one is extremely rare. You can find the numbered versions of these knives elsewhere, but only at KnifeMakersDatabase.com will you find the original. See the "Knives for Sale" section for more available custom knives or look below for the other two Nate Clark Prototype Knives.
Only ONE in the World. PERIOD.

The third and final knife in the Prototype Series by Nate Clark. Like the other two, this one is a Dual Action Automatic and is the only one in existence. This one is quite different as it sports a tanto style blade with a serated front edge - very unique for an automatic. The scales are polished black micarta and the frame is all anodized titanium. Super fast, super sharp and extremely rare.
These prototype knives are likely to go quickly, but should someone want the complete set of three while I have it, I will offer a discout.
