WE Knife 2008D Roman S35VN
Experience the perfect fusion of ancient artistry and modern engineering with the WE Knife 2008D Roman. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Rome’s storied past, this front-flipper folder is a tribute to classical craftsmanship, reimagined for today’s demanding tasks. Designed by Alessandra De Santis (Hydra Design), the Roman pairs sleek, contemporary lines with nods to historic tradition, making it as much a collector’s gem as a high-performance tool.
At the heart of the Roman sits a 3.95-inch CPM-S35VN blade, stonewashed to a refined gray finish that masks wear and adds character with every scratch. Thanks to a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot, each deployment is lightning-fast and whisper-smooth—effortless slicing, piercing, and precision work become second nature. The spear-point profile and full flat grind ensure razor-sharp edge retention, giving you confidence in every cut.
The dual-slab handle is milled from aircraft-grade 6AL4V titanium and treated with striking Tiger Stripe flame anodization. Beyond its mesmerizing visual impact, the textured milling evokes the ancient cobblestones of the Via Appia Antica, delivering a secure grip in any condition. The integral frame lock locks the blade firmly in place, so you can tackle tough jobs without hesitation. And at just 3.32 ounces, the Roman feels featherlight in hand, slipping comfortably into your pocket for all-day carry—without a protruding clip to snag or weigh you down.
Built to last and designed to impress, the WE Knife 2008D Roman transforms everyday tasks into an art form. Whether you’re cutting rope, slicing through cardboard, or simply admiring its flawless lines, this folder delivers unmatched performance and style. Elevate your carry and make history your daily companion.
