WESN Ridgeback Microblade: Mountain Spirit in a City-Sized Package

When adventure and urban sophistication collide, magic happens. And the WESN Ridgeback Microblade (€150) is the tangible result of that collision. Conceived in the rugged wilderness of Northern Sweden and fine-tuned for the bustling streets of the modern metropolis, this exceptional EDC (everyday carry) is more than a knife; it’s a testament to craftsmanship, storytelling, and a love for the great outdoors.

The Ridgeback Microblade isn’t just inspired by the mountains; it brings their spirit to your pocket. One touch of the textured titanium handle, and you’re transported to the jagged peaks and serene trails of Northern Sweden. Yet, it’s perfectly suited to your urban adventures, whether you’re slicing through packaging or tackling daily tasks with the precision of a seasoned mountaineer.

This isn’t your typical pocket knife. With a limited production of only 500 units, the Ridgeback is an heirloom-quality tool designed to turn heads and last generations. Its M390 blade steel—a significant upgrade—ensures unparalleled sharpness and durability. Whether you’re carving wood in the wilderness or opening your next Amazon delivery, this microblade is ready to perform.

The Ridgeback’s design philosophy is as nuanced as its functionality. The hammered titanium front scale reflects the rugged, untamed beauty of the mountains, while the smooth titanium back scale embodies the sleek elegance of city life. This duality makes the Ridgeback more than just a tool; it’s a narrative you carry in your pocket.

Adding a pop of personality, the bright yellow thumb stud and lanyard evoke the warmth of a mountain sunrise, a subtle yet striking contrast to the muted tones of titanium. A rock-coloured lanyard bead completes the aesthetic, tying together the blade’s outdoor and urban inspirations seamlessly.

The genesis of the Ridgeback came during a WESN team retreat in Northern Sweden. Days spent sleeping under the stars and exploring untouched landscapes planted the seed for a knife that could merge rugged textures with everyday utility. The result? A blade that embodies the best of both worlds: a microblade tough enough for the trail but refined enough for the boardroom.

At €150, the Ridgeback Microblade is more than just an investment in premium EDC gear; it’s a tribute to adventure and the harmony of contrasting worlds. Whether you’re scaling mountains or commuting through the urban jungle, the Ridgeback is your companion—a pocket-sized marvel that’s equal parts tool and treasure.

With only 500 units available, the Ridgeback Microblade isn’t just a purchase; it’s a chance to own a piece of WESN’s legacy. For trailblazers, city dwellers, and everyone in between, this knife is the perfect blend of form, function, and storytelling. Don’t miss your opportunity to carry a slice of the mountains wherever you go.
