Sometimes it’s easier to prevent damage than it is to fix it. Our leather sheaths are designed to fit perfectly around our knives. They protect against scratches and a chipped blade, and keep dust and dirt out of the precision movement.
Just because your phone turns back on when you drop it doesn’t mean you don’t need a case.
Clean your WESN only when you need to. Slicing fruit or stripping bark leaves a sticky residue that attracts dust and dirt, and over time that affects the action. Hand wash carefully with hot water and a very small amount of dish soap.
Once the soap and grime are rinsed off, dry your WESN thoroughly with a microfiber towel.
For a smooth open and close, lubrication is essential. Whether your knife runs on phosphor bronze washers or ceramic bearings, a drop of synthetic lubricant extends its life. Our favorite is Pete’s Lube.
Easy to apply, and you only need one drop after cleaning.
If your blade is razor-sharp, that probably means you’re not using it. Every steel loses its edge with use. Instead of a trip to the sharpening shop, we designed a pocket-sized sharpener: diamond plate on one side, ceramic on the other.
Keep the 25° angle, light pressure, heel to tip. Up to ten passes per side.
