Twosun Tuesday: TS09 "Black Mamba" D2 & G10
Published: 3 years ago
TwoSun Tuesday keeps chuggin' along. Threw the train in reverse this week as I picked up the lowest model I've owned yet. This is the TS09, known as the Black Mamba, an incredibly venomous and aggressive snake in southern Africa.
It has a compound grind at the tip. Very reminiscent of a traditional Tanto. Super thick and strong behind the tip, but thins out beautifully to slice well near the tip as well. Now, if only it didn't have that blankity-blank old clip and the butt-end was rounded.
Specs:
3.5" D2 blade with 3.8mm stock thickness
5.08 oz / 144 gram weight
0.67" handle thickness (G10)
Liner Lock
Ceramic bearings & detent ball
