Mother of Pearl Shows up on We Knife Sylox

Anyone on the hunt for something a little bit hard use, a little bit tactical, and all premium, should check out the new We Knife Co. Sylox. This large flipper brings all the traditional high-end stuff to the table alongside some design/material surprises.

3.8 inches is a lot of blade length when it comes to a folder. There are definitely monstrosities that cross the 4- and even 5-inch boundary, but those are, by and large, uncommon; most heavy duty folding knives will top out right around where the Sylox does. All that being said, the very clean, very We-like design softens the Sylox’s character to an extent, and it could function as a straightforward EDC for anybody with a penchant for large blades.

Button locks are more common in the Civivi line, but gaining traction on the We Knife side

The cutting edge is worth dwelling on for more than its size because it is the latest in the great We in-house tradition of creatively appointed blades. There’s a compound grind to strengthen the tip, alongside a swedge, and a fuller, and thick spinal jimping sitting in its own separate, chamfered sub-swedge. The steel is a familiar face, however: good old M390 stainless.

The handle is your standard (in a good way) titanium number, with three triangular inlays on each scale. These scales are symmetrical because the Sylox is a button lock, not a frame lock; and if you’re feeling particularly fancy, on top of a slew of carbon fiber inlay choices, there’s an option for mother of pearl inlays instead!

The Sylox is available now.
