WE Knives 821B Pleroma Isham Champagne Titanium Vertebral Integral Carbon Fiber Satin M390

The model 821B Pleroma from WE Knife Company is a production folder designed by Elijah Isham with his "out of this world" styling. The unique Vertebral Integral design creates an integral folder that delivers a nearly 3" blade in a package that is just over 2.5oz! High performance materials like Bohler's M390 blade steel and Champagne anodized 6AL4V Titanium inlaid with Carbon Fiber complement the striking, futuristic design that still delivers ergonomic comfort and performance for use.

Blade: A blade of hand rubbed satin finished Bohler M390 rides on a ceramic ball bearing pivot for ultra smooth, fast deployment via the dual thumb studs that sit inside the signature Isham blade cutout. Tame by comparison to some of Isham's other designs, the Pleroma sports a modified Sheep's Foot blade with an upward sweep that allows for more leverage when cutting on flat surfaces. The blade still has some point for piercing and fine work as well.

Handle: The unique Vertebral Integral handle design has beautiful flowing lines that are as appealing to the eye as they are to the hand. The spine of the handle is an integral piece of Champagne anodized titanium with large cutouts on the side that are covered by the Carbon Fiber inlays. The integral construction offers enhanced strength while reducing weight through the singular construction. A simple inset steel liner delivers smooth operation and worry free lockup with minimal addition to the weight.

Carries via a 3D machined, titanium pocket clip set up for tip up, right hand carry.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
