WE Knife Angst FAQ

The WE Knife Angst series features a Justin Lundquist design that packs a technical, dagger-inspired blade into an ultralight frame. These knives are specifically engineered for agility and precision in a compact everyday carry format.

What kind of steel is used in the WE Knife Angst series?
Every knife in the Angst 2002 series features CPM-S35VN stainless steel, a premium material known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. You can learn more about how this compares to other high-end options in our guide to comparing premium knife steels.
Is the WE Knife Angst a double-edged dagger?
No, the Angst series features a single-edged blade despite its symmetrical dagger-like profile. It utilizes a flat grind for the primary edge and a flat swedge on the spine, which creates an acute point for piercing while remaining functional for standard utility tasks.
How much does the WE Knife Angst weigh?
The Angst is exceptionally lightweight, coming in at approximately 1.8 ounces. This puts the series in the same ultralight category as many popular featherweight folders, making it an ideal choice for users who prioritize a minimal pocket footprint.
What handle materials are available for the Angst series?
This series offers several material configurations, including carbon fiber handles with G10 inlays and versions featuring white G10 handles with black G10 inlays. All models include a milled titanium pocket clip set for right-side, tip-up carry.
What tasks is the Angst 2002 best suited for?
While the aggressive profile suggests a tactical folder, the Angst is primarily designed for precision EDC work. Its octagonal cross-section and lack of spine drag make it highly agile for maneuvering through tight corners or cutting complex shapes out of thin materials.
