History of WESN

The brand's foundation was laid when Billy Chester received a knife from a friend, as a token of their friendship. When he received the knife, he didn't know how much it would mean to him years later. Billy believes that the EDC you carry should say something about you as a person. Even though Billy didn't initially plan to found a new brand, he started WESN in 2017. He was looking for a knife that fit his criteria and requirements. When he couldn't find what he was looking for, he began to find ways to create the perfect knife, made from the best materials. The type of knife you proudly display, instead of hiding it away in your junk drawer.

That's when Billy started a Kickstarter project, so he could create this perfect knife for a few people. Suddenly, over 3000 people were supporting his project. It became apparent that there's a lot of demand for a product designed in accordance with these core values. Now, WESN's range includes many cool EDC products, designed to be practical, functional and incredibly durable. Pocket knives are not just a tool to be used though, they can also be fashion pieces to suit your active lifestyle. With this in mind, WESN designs their products in minimalist style with unparalleled functionality. Even though it's a relatively new brand, they're quickly collecting a large fanbase!
