WESN announced its most visually audacious release yet—the Cell Shaded Collection, a two-piece, comic book-inspired collab with Way of Knife. Made to order in Michigan and limited to 100 units of the Allman and 200 of the Microblade, this collection blends EDC functionality with serious graphic-novel flair. With bold outlines and anodized finishes that mimic inked brush strokes, these knives feel like they were plucked straight from the panels of a vintage pulp—only these cut through more than just plotlines.

The Cell Shaded Allman features grade 5 titanium scales with custom cell-shaded anodization and CPM S35VN blade steel ready to work. This frame-lock folder balances everyday carry practicality with showpiece swagger, measuring 6.65 inches when open and weighing just 3.65 ounces.

Look to the Cell Shaded Microblade for something even more compact—but no less bold. With its 1.5-inch D2 tool steel blade and 1-ounce weight, it’s built for quick tasks and clean cuts while still packing a design punch. Both knives are finished with Way of Knife’s custom cell shading, giving them that animated, otherworldly look collectors crave.

Launching May 21st at 11 a.m. EST, these strictly limited runs from WESN will not see a second printing. If you want a piece of functional art that looks like it was sketched by a comic book legend and engineered for real-world action, you’ll want to move fast.
