THE WESN RIDGEBACK COLLECTION

THE MOUNTAINS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND / LAUNCHING NOV 15TH

The Ridgeback Collection is where craftsmanship meets the call of the wild - a series of blades forged with the strength and spirit of the mountains. Each knife in the collection reimagines a WESN classic through a rugged new lens, combining premium M390 steel, titanium craftsmanship, and thoughtful design details that speak to both performance and artistry.

From the dependable Allman, to the adventure-ready Bornas, the refined Samla, and the timeless Henry, every Ridgeback knife is built to be carried, used, and kept for life. Tough enough for the outdoors, and bespoke pieces to take on everyday — the Ridgeback Collection stands as a testament to WESN’s belief that the things you carry should outlast you.

Forged from top-end Böhler M390 blade steel, some of the best blade steel on the market - each Ridgeback knife stands among the finest in its class. A balance of cutting-edge performance and lasting strength. Paired with textured CNC’d Grade 5 titanium handles and a rugged matching titanium lanyard bead on our models designed with a lanyard hole, these are heirloom-level pieces built for the pocket, the trail, and beyond.

The Ridgeback Collection is extremely limited - only 200 Allmans and 100 of each other blade exist. Launching November 15th at 11AM EST / 5PM CET. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
