CROWDFUNDED – If you are a fan of knives, EDC, or both, the WESN Allman Everyday Carry Pocket Knife might be of interest to you. Currently being offered in a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, it’s a mid-sized knife with a slim profile, flipper blade, and locking mechanism that is available with either G10 polymer or Titanium handle. Let’s have a quick look!

What is it?
“The WESN Allman Everyday Carry Pocket Knife is a compact lightweight knife that fits right in your hand. Functional and sleek, the Allman is weighted and designed to be at your side wherever you go.”
Why do I like it?
Billy Chester ran a very successful Kickstarter campaign for his WESN Titanium Micro Blade knife, a campaign which raised almost $220,000, and this knife is now available for order on an ongoing basis. I mention this because it should provide confidence in his ability to deliver a crowdfunded campaign. In addition, the WESN Allman includes many style and design elements that are similar to the WESN Titanium Micro Blade, but with a 2.75″ blade and 3.75″ handle, the WESN Allman not an overly large folding knife. It has a manual-open, ball-bearing assisted “flipper” for quick one-hand deployment of its SV35 steel blade. It is available with either a G10 glass fiber polymer material handle which includes a liner lock, or titanium handle with frame lock. Also includes a milled pocket clip and a lanyard hole.
Where can I find more info?

Nice looking knife, I just ordered one. Hopefully it works out better than my last Kickstarter buy. I received mine but it was defective. After two emails I find out they ran out of money and are asking everyone too give more money so they can complete the project. Doesn’t seem likely I’ll get my defective one replaced.
Norm, I hear you on that. Several of the Kickstarter campaigns that I’ve backed have either gone belly-up or turned out to be scams. However, considering the success of the WESN Titanium Micro Blade knife run by the same folks, I’m pretty confident that this one will see the light of day.
How much ?
