Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The WESN Microblade is a frame-lock keychain folder with a 1.5-inch D2 tool-steel drop-point blade, Grade 5 titanium handle scales, ceramic bearings, and a deep-carry clip; it weighs one ounce and opens to 3.75 inches overall. WESN Goods was founded in Detroit in 2017 by Billy Sanders and launched the Microblade on Kickstarter that year as a pocket knife sized to live on a keyring without taking the place of a wallet or phone. The blade is heat-treated to 60 HRC and the titanium handle is bead-blasted before anodizing on colored variants. The Supreme FW24 version laser-etches the box logo onto the titanium handle and was released October 10, 2024 in red, black, and yellow.
About WESN
WESN is an American everyday-carry knife brand founded in 2016 by Billy Chester in Detroit, Michigan. The company launched the Microblade on Kickstarter in October 2017, hitting its funding goal in sixty minutes with over three thousand backers. Most WESN models carry Swedish names tied to Chester's family heritage, including the Allman (Swedish for everyman), the Samla, and the Henry, named for his grandfather. Knives are built around titanium and M390 steel and ship with leather sheaths from American tanneries. Supreme has collaborated with WESN on a co-branded folding pocket knife.
