Award-Winning Custom Heritage, Precision Production Execution

The WE Knife Co. Nitro Mini (Model WE22015-3) marks a triumphant production milestone as custom knife designer Peter Carey’s first manufacturing collaboration since his legendary, long-discontinued traditional folder platforms. Modeled directly after his highly coveted custom piece of the same name, the Nitro Mini represents structural and aesthetic perfection in a mid-sized everyday carry layout. This standout folder earned dual honors as the "Factory Best in Show" and "Best Factory Folder" award winner at Blade Show West 2022.

At its core is a 3.13" drop point blade ground from premium particle-metallurgy CPM 20CV stainless steel, delivering world-class wear resistance, elite edge performance, and high-tier corrosion defense. The blade features an upscale, hand-rubbed satin finish with an efficient flat grind. The handle chassis showcases an elegant bolstered construction crafted from 6Al4V titanium, seamlessly inlaid on both sides with high-character Black Linen Micarta scales. Operating on a caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot, the Nitro Mini offers snappy deployment via either the flipper tab or dual thumb studs, backed by a rock-solid titanium frame lock interface.
