We Knife Company has been around the game for a long time but has only
recently begun manufacturing their own designs. They started by
manufacturing OEM designs for other companies and have gained a
reputation in the industry as a name you can rely on. Their products are
innovative, beautiful, and extremely well-built so you can rest assured
you're getting a supreme quality product at a great price.
The
906 Arrakis comes on the heels of the Eschaton, We Knives' first
collaborative effort with Elijah Isham. It was a knife that took us by
surprise at the time with its dynamic styling, superb build quality, and
surprisingly stellar ergonomics. However, production was very limited
and many Isham and We fans were left without one of those coveted
blades. The Arrakis is here to change that, with a very similar look and
feel to the Eschaton, but with a more usable blade shape.
The
Arrakis features We Knives' superb flipping action and Elijah's
attention to detail, however, it's the construction of this knife that
impresses us the most. The handle is made with an integral brown
titanium frame with blue anodized titanium scales and an inset liner
lock mechanism. The brown frame doesn't extend all the way to the pivot
but ends at the point where the blue titanium scales begin and we've
only ever seen this done once before. The pocket clip, backspacer,
screws, pivot cap, and washers are all 6Al4V titanium for maximum
quality assurance and you have a finger choil for fine detail work.
Everything about this knife is well thought out and superbly executed,
and we are proud to present it to you as your next everyday carry or
maybe even safe queen.
