The WESN x Glidr Microblade is a collaboration everyday carry (EDC) accessory perfect for handling the daily tasks of professionals, hobbyists or those who spend extended periods tackling small jobs.
The pocket knife has a 1.5-inch blade crafted out of D2 steel to prioritize a premium usage, which is thick enough to handle being used with wood or even manmade materials like drywall. The knife features an aluminum and titanium handle etched with an eye-catching pattern, which comes in four color options to choose from. These features combine to create an accessory that's ready for use around wet or mucky environments.
The WESN x Glidr Microblade is priced at $110 and has a built-in thumb flipper to help a person deploy the blade with one hand.
