WE Knife Harpen FAQ

The WE Knife Harpen series brings Michael Burch’s distinctive custom 'venting' aesthetics to a high-performance production folder. These knives feature intricate lattice-style handle milling and a performance-oriented hollow grind on the blade.

What blade steel does the WE Harpen use?
Most models in the WE Harpen series utilize CPM-20CV, which is a high-end particle steel prized for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. There is also a premium variant available featuring Hugin Damasteel for those seeking a more aesthetic blade finish.
What is unique about the WE Harpen handle design?
The Harpen is the first production collaboration with Burchtree Bladeworks to feature Michael Burch’s signature 'venting' milling. The titanium handles are latticed out and pocketed from the inside to significantly reduce weight while maintaining a stout feel during use.
Why does the Harpen use a hollow grind?
WE Knife opted for a hollow grind on the Harpen to provide a very thin edge for superior slicing capability. While this geometry is less common on particle steels like CPM-20CV due to manufacturing difficulty, it allows the knife to cut efficiently while maintaining a stout spine.
Is the WE Harpen suitable for everyday carry?
Yes, the Harpen is sized specifically for EDC with a blade length of approximately 3 inches. Its slim profile, lightweight milled titanium construction, and smooth ball-bearing flipper action make it an excellent choice for a stylish yet practical daily tool.
Is the WE Harpen worth the investment?
The Harpen series is priced in the $250 to $580 range, reflecting the extensive machine time required for its intricate handle milling and high-end materials. The combination of premium CPM-20CV steel and custom-level design details from Michael Burch provides significant value for collectors and enthusiasts.
