WE Knives? Another high end Chinese company?

Does WE make knives with other than titanium scales? I'm not a huge titanium fan, generally prefer G10 or something a little more grippy than Ti.

Thanks guys. Before I just read these posts, I thought to myself about how I "love" this knife more than any purchase in recent history. My Jade/M4 and CF/M4 PM2's or CS FG Broken Skull (I absolutely love them all), do not compare to this knife...and I have wanted a CF PM2 for years! The quality and smoothness are exceptional! I'm not even into purple at all, but I don't mind it on this knife a bit! Their are a couple of YouTube vids that explain the knife and how awesome it is.

Haha! I hate to tell you this my friend, but everything you mentioned is as near perfect as I think I've seen. The detent is prefect too..wouldn't change it a bit!
 
Already mentioned i got all 5 models and from some models more then one (because of the variety of color combinations). I actually use a few of them and the S35 seems to hold pretty well, compared to the S35 from other (USA/European) companies.
I also have quite a collection of Reate knives. And the quality of WE seems on par with Reate. Kizer is for me not quite that level (and i own/have owned several) because of not being very consistent in their production. Stedemon and Rike i can not compare because til now i didn't own one of these. BTW Real Steel has a few high end models wich come also very near at the quality level with their Megalodon and S571.

I was lucky to buy some of their fist 601 model, so i got a few extra hardware sets which are interchangeable. But then again, i don't mind the colors they use. In fact i like them being different then other manufacturers. I also disassembled a few and the hardware is just good. Easy to put together again and no troubles.

I can only recommend these knives.

BTW in case someone doubts i use these, here is a link to a YT vid i use the 602: https://youtu.be/wgad_C03JhY

Enjoy and let me know your thoughts. Check out my other videos too!

Just heard that Vlad was helpful in getting some usa sourced m390 for some newer WE knives that we will probably start to see either in the next few months or next year. very exciting to say the least.

also there's these two knives, designed by and exclusive to Vlad.

Stedemon is as good as Reate, in my opinion. The only Kizer I own is nice, but does have a weak detent.

Well......I couldn't resist and I'm here to tell you guys that WE is no joke!
Picked up a 603a and cannot put it down! Amazing action, just freakin amazing!! Pleasure to flip!! Perfect detent! Very comfy in hand!
One of the things that bothers me is when a frame lock is hard to unlock and messes up my thumb......this knife unlocks perfectly! Thumb fits the release beautifully and there is just the right amount of tension when unlocking!
Really nice packaging!
There really is t anything for me to bitch about! Excellent knife that is easily worth the price!

Worth every penny!!

I really like the photo that contrasts it between the ZT 045X's! That's a great perspective.

I've been totally pleased with my 604B. It's my second WE and I'll definitely be looking to add more in the future. I'd really like a sleek style (601, 603, 604) with a 3 inch blade. I've been waiting for a 3" Reate for too darn long!
 
Pfoehhh.. i influenced somebody... Now i am really very, very glad you love it Joe :-)
@Hackenslash: you should take a look at the WE 606....
 
Hey brother!!
Thanks, some one asked for a pic next to the 452. The 603 reminds me of the Sukhoi and the 452.
Love the 604 and that will probably be my next one!

I also picked up a couple Kizers. They also make a bad ass knife!
The first is a Corto. Love the blade profile on that one.....also a lot of blade packed into that handle! Super smooth and locks up TIGHT!!
Second is a Nomad......fell in love with this one. Built really well and flips like a dream even with a detent on the weak side. Had a little trouble sharpening that blade shape till I got the hang of it!
Really happy with all of them!!

Looks like we share a taste for certain knives Joe :-)
When selling my Nomad to a dear friend, i was restless till i got another one :-)
 
I know the feeling Henkh!!! Can't put it down!!
Bit of a bitch to sharpen, but what a great blade shape!! Love how great it flips too!!!
