WE Ryson
The WE Ryson is a Sam Tran design that puts an aggressive harpoon blade on a slim titanium frame lock from WE Knife Company. It carries a 3.33 inch Bohler M390 blade in a handle just 0.44 inches thick, and the whole knife weighs 3.09 ounces, which makes it a full cutting tool that carries like a much smaller one.
A Harpoon Blade With a Hollow Grind
The harpoon profile is what gives the Ryson its look: a spine that steps down toward a fine, reinforced point, paired with a long, clean belly for slicing. WE hollow grinds the blade, which thins the edge behind the apex so it bites into cardboard, rope, and food with less effort. The finished blade is 0.13 inches thick at the spine, so the point keeps its strength even with that thin edge.
Bohler M390 Steel
M390 is a powder metallurgy stainless from Bohler with a high chromium and vanadium content, and it is one of the benchmark steels for holding an edge while resisting corrosion. On the Ryson it is run at 58 to 61 HRC depending on the finish, a range that balances edge life with toughness for a thin, hollow ground blade. Our knife steel comparison shows how M390 stacks up against 20CV, MagnaCut, and the rest.
Slim Titanium Frame Lock Build
The handle is 6AL4V titanium throughout, with a titanium frame lock, back spacer, pivot cap, and hardware. The Ryson opens with dual thumb studs and rides on bronze washers rather than bearings, which gives it a controlled, deliberate action instead of a free swing. It measures 7.65 inches open and 4.32 inches closed, and the titanium clip carries it tip up for right hand pocket carry.
Choosing Your WE Ryson
Every Ryson shares the same dimensions, lock, and pivot. The 24086-1 is the blacked out option with black titanium and a stonewashed blade. The 24086-2 pairs gray titanium with a hand rubbed satin blade, and the 24086-3 sets polished gray M390 against bronze titanium. The 24086-DS1 swaps M390 for a Hugin pattern Damasteel blade on gray titanium, the collector pick for anyone building out a damascus knife rotation.
