We recently started making friends with the folks at WESN (a Detroit based knife company that has roots in Sweden). How we got in touch is a long story . . . but in any case, it's great when two brands who make totally different things still have so much overlap in experience. At the end of the day, as we started getting to know each other, we discovered that we're both small business trying to make high quality gear with international context and American heritage. Anyhow, when WESN launched this limited edition microblade series, and we heard that the first in the capsule was going to be NOT PURPLE, we decided to send them a bunch of purple stuff to go with it. They had, after all, made a knife obsessed young person we know very happy for the holidays. PLUS, JUST FOR YOU: We secured a handful of their limited edition It's Not Purple Microblade for Batten-fans to buy--get them on our website before they're gone.
