Retro Futurism: The WESN Cosmic Blue Microblade

Nostalgia is a powerful drug, but when combined with precision Detroit engineering and top-tier everyday carry materials, it becomes completely irresistible.

WESN has taken its most iconic, micro-sized pocket knife and injected it with a heavy dose of 1990s gaming culture.

The result is the WESN Cosmic Blue Microblade, a limited-edition drop that channels the golden era of see-through N64 controllers, translucent handhelds, and Saturday morning gaming sessions.

Priced at £102, this ultra-compact daily tool reimagines WESN’s flagship keychain blade into a piece of functional cyber-art that looks straight out of an 8-bit dream.

Translucent Aesthetics Meets Grade 5 Titanium

The star of the show here is the front handle scale, crafted from WESN’s proprietary ‘Arcadite’ transparent polymer in a vivid Cosmic Blue finish.

Engineered specifically to maintain clarity and resist daily wear, the see-through handle reveals a cut steel plate beneath, adding tangible depth and structural layers to the design.

Near the pivot screw, subtly printed ‘Retro Collection’ graphics and functional sizing markings around the hardware give the knife an authentic cyberpunk edge.

* Blade Steel: Tool-Grade D2 Steel
* Front Scale: 'Arcadite' Transparent Polymer
* Back Scale: Grade 5 Titanium
* Weight: Featherlight 1 oz (28 g)
* Dimensions: 1.5" Blade / 2.25" Closed / 3.75" Open

Turn the knife over, and you are met with classic WESN durability. The back scale is machined from Grade 5 titanium, incorporating a rock-solid frame lock mechanism and a stainless steel pocket clip to keep your blade locked down safely in a pocket or on a keyring.

Big Performance in a One-Ounce Package

Despite its playful retro aesthetic, the Cosmic Blue Microblade remains a serious cutting tool.

Its 1.5-inch blade is forged from high-carbon D2 tool-grade steel, renowned for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and long-lasting edge retention.

Whether you’re slicing open packages, stripping cordage, or tackling everyday utility tasks around the campsite, this 1-ounce blade punches well above its weight class.

“Designed in Detroit and reengineered from the ground up, the Microblade delivers heavy-duty utility while taking up no more pocket real estate than a standard house key.”

Measuring a tiny 2.25 inches when closed, it drops effortlessly into a coin pocket or hooks onto a carabiner without adding bulk to your daily setup.

The Ultimate Retro Collector’s Set

WESN didn’t stop at the knife itself. To lean completely into the 90s aesthetic, every Cosmic Blue Microblade ships with its own working WESNBoy Keychain Console—a miniature 8-bit handheld gaming device pre-loaded with classic arcade games to keep your thumbs busy when you aren’t putting your blade to work.
