The WESN Ridgeback Microblade is the pocket knife equivalent of seeing a concert flyer the day after the gig—it’s already sold out, but wow, it looks amazing. Let’s take a moment to appreciate what the rest of us missed out on, shall we?
The WESN Ridgeback Microblade combines rugged Swedish mountain vibes with urban practicality. Featuring a hammered titanium handle and upgraded M390 blade steel, this 3.75-inch beauty is sharp, durable, and effortlessly pocketable.
Weighing just 2 ounces, it’s the perfect everyday companion—whether you’re in the wilderness or battling a stubborn Amazon box. The blade is 1.5 inches long, and it comes with a custom lanyard featuring an aluminum bead. Rounding up the feature list is frame-lock mechanics.
It dropped for US$150, but blink and you missed it. With just 500 units globally, it exacerbates the bittersweet beauty of small-batch items like these. Unlike supercars reserved for the elite, limited-edition knives are within reach for most people—until they vanish in a flash. Maybe next time, WESN. Maybe next time.
Honestly, I don’t see the point of making EDC (Everyday Carry) items limited edition when the goal is supposed to nurture the collectors and EDC community. The knife was up for less than two days, and it’s already sold out. At least I did not see an add-to-cart button. Or am I missing something here?
It’s on me for not sharing this sooner. But, in my defense, not everyone reads the article on the day it’s published. You see the problem, right? It’s the same reason I steer clear of Casetify collab products—the flagship items are always sold out, benefiting only scalpers.
That said, I do feature limited-edition items now and then because due to the fun factor. Take Supreme Collabs, for instance. They almost always sell out lightning fast, but they have their fun and sometimes ridiculous factors.
If you’re a die-hard WESN fan, I highly recommend signing up for the brand’s newsletter. It’s the best way to stay ahead of the rush. Before that, steal a few more looks at this uber-beautiful knife:
