WE Knife Co. Unveils The Tyro, A Compact Superlock Folder

We’ve been huge fans of cutting-edge knife designer Snecx Tan and his Superlock mechanism ever since we got our hands on the CIVIVI Vision FG. The Tyro, a new folding knife from sister company WE Knife Co., marks the first time this innovative lock is featured on a sub-3″ blade, sizing the knife perfectly right for an everyday slicer.

The Tyro combines a 6AL4V titanium handle with a 2.91” blade in CPM 20CV or super-premium Hakkapella Damasteel for exceptional strength and lightweight performance, made possible by purposeful skeletonization. It features a thumb hole opener (which, like the design cutouts on the handle, has some nice detail chamfering for comfortable flicks), a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot, and a 4-way reversible clip, with an extra pivot screw for a clipless option. With the Superlock being top and center of the handle, the Tyro is a perfect EDC choice for those who value strength, Tan’s distinct design, and a truly ambidextrous blade.

The WE Knife Co. Tyro is available now direct from WE in five variants: Gray, Blue, Bronze, or Black/Golden Titanium handles paired with either a stonewashed or black stonewashed blade, along with the dressed up Hakkapella Damasteel option.
