Is it just me or does WE Knife make some very cool knives?

[Frosted flakes]

My experience with WE detents, has been nothing but positive. Same with most brands these days, it's rare for me to get a lazy detent with any brand. And I agree nothing worse than a flipper that you have to make a conscious effort to have open fully. Or, even worse have open when you're not expecting it.

Love my Reiver. No issues with detent at all.

I really like the looks of it, but can it thrust? Or is it more clever like and mainly cut? Please help I'm stumped just looking at a picture.

I think the 604DST (bottom one) is the best looking knife that We has ever made.

Yeah me too, in fact if you ever need a kidney or a nut I'd be open to a trade!

What do they need to thrust that a pocket knife will ever be a good tool for

The Eschaton (719B) is my favorite design. The execution is awesome, too. This is one of 700. Four-inch blade. Drop shut. Fires well. Centered blade. No blade play. Pretty hard to find.

I have a few. They are all of very high quality.

That’s a wild design in every way! I like it!

I have a bunch…….no complaints whatsoever.

Cool knife. Looks like something a Decepticon would carry.

I love the milling on the handle scales. Wow!

I'm considering one (Vision R) since I don't want to shell out $6K for the OG Snecx

WE/Civivi did themselves a favour by doing a lot of collaborations with some truly talented knife designers from the West. Whether you have a stable full of great knife designers, you're a some sort of co-op of knife designers (like MKM or Kellam), or you contract them on a knife by knife basis, people are going to seek out your steel if you put it into the hands of great knife designers.

I have just these from WE but my god they are good.

The oddly named limited edition Fornix:

Well said!

Loving my little Charith! Sometimes a PR2 is just too darn big. Great utility blade in CPM20CV steel holds it edge after many box shredding!

I certainly agree, I've owned a lot of their knives over the years and had some visit, like this one;

It's also worth noting some of their more basic budget models in the Civivi and Sencut lines. For instance, this little Sencut Neches in 10Cr15CoMov (Chinese VG-10) has been fantastic. It's basic but just great at being what it is.

The Pintail is a great example of one of their excellent value in-between knives if they still make it, it's a super practical and nicely proportioned drop point in S35VN with thin stock and a hollow grind. I think it was $80, so really good for that blade from a company that builds them well.
