The **WE Knife Balaenoptera** is a large and cool pocket knife, based on a whale. The organically formed blade is made from Böhler M390 steel. One of the most popular premium types of steel on the market. Retains its sharpness well and – for a whale – is incredibly stainless.


The Balaenoptera can smoothly and quickly be opened with the flipper. Around the pivot WE has placed ceramic ball bearings. Combined with the steel insert in the titanium framelock this takes care of an enormous upgrade in terms of the life of the pocket knife.


With the handle WE Knife demonstrates once again that they are absolute masters when it comes to milling work. The titanium handles are produced with extreme precision and a lot of attention was paid to the details. Complex finishes you often only find in pocket knives that cost three times as much, make this knife look stunning. But not just the looks. The ergonomics are also worth mentioning. The handle is rather big and offers great grip. *All the right curves in all the right places.*.


Because of the recurve in the blade and the wavy edge the Balaenoptera is amazing to work with. The large belly and thin grind make it an absolute slicer.

General information

value_blade_height

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

value_blade_thickness

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

value_opened_length

value_weight

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

sharpening_angle

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
