Sometimes you don't need every feature under the sun for gear to perform well. When you want a no-frills, high-performing knife, it's better to get back to the basics. The WESN Allman is a sturdy, compact folding knife designed to do just that. This premium, minimalist EDC knife features an elegant design made of premium materials that deliver top-notch cutting potential. And if you remember WESN's successful Kickstarter for the Micro Blade, think of the Allman as sizing it up for the better.

The Allman, like the Micro Blade before it, sports a unique modified clip-point blade with a stout profile that makes it a strong tool while keeping things discreet at 2.75” in length. The design offers a beefy straight edge for larger utility tasks, a fine belly for delicate slicing, and a strong tip for piercing through the toughest of objects when you need it. And because it's made of premium S35VN steel, you can rely upon the hard blade on the Allman to maintain an edge through repeated daily use. That premium edge is paired with your choice between a minimalist precision-machined titanium handle and a durable, grippy G10 scaled version of the knife. With the titanium version, you get the benefit of a full frame lock, while the G10 comes with an equally-respectable liner mechanism to hold the blade in place despite rough use. Either way, you get a 3.8” full-size handle that's big enough to get a firm grip. And with its high-index flipper tab, the knife is easily opened a single hand, especially with ball bearings in the pivot. For carry, you can use the titanium clip to attach the knife to your pockets, but there's also a gorgeous natural vegetable-tanned leather sheath if you prefer a more classy, timeless option.

With the WESN Allman, you get a no-nonsense, highly-practical everyday carry knife with a smart design made of premium materials featuring a unique and handsome minimalist aesthetic that doesn't go overboard. You can reserve your very own WESN Allman today, in the configuration of your choice, at the fully funded Kickstarter link below.

Ugly and over priced. Kickstarter has becomes a clearing house for these ridiculously priced beta tests.
