Halloween-themed gear is kitschy at best, cringe-inducing at worst. But this limited-edition knife from WESN might just be able to flip the script on lame “spooky season” products, thanks to its refined materials and one-of-a-kind artwork.

The brainchild of WESN and Australia-based artist Christian Watson and his branding agency 1924us, the Mr. Skelly Microblade is the Halloween-themed EDC stunner you’ll want to use all year long.

Compact bronze utility knife with a skeleton engraving on the handle and a partially exposed blade. — This is one Halloween-appropriate collaboration that will continue to be cool long after spooky season passes.

Stunning and spooky

Everyone loves an excuse to dress up — even WESN’s popular Microblade can’t resist trying on a new personality this Halloween.

Developed in collaboration with 1924us, a branding studio specializing in handcrafted work inspired by early 1900s design, the Mr. Skelly Microblade blends WESN’s utility and quality-driven engineering with 1924us’s unique aesthetic, resulting in a knife that is both on-brand for Halloween and relevant every other day of the year.

Two brass-colored folding knives with skull and skeleton engravings on a wooden shelf. — Mr. Skelly is one of 1924us’s beloved brand characters, designed and developed by the 1924us studio.

The Mr. Skelly Microblade avoids clichè Halloween territory by marrying original designs with quality, timeless materials.

The 3.75-inch frame-lock knife features hand-drawn 1924us artwork set into a solid copper front handle, which is designed to patina with use and age, lending the Mr. Skelly Microblade a sense of refinement and taste.

The front copper scale is paired with a grade 5 titanium back scale, adding grit to the equation.

Compact folding knife with a bronze handle featuring a skeleton design and a stainless steel blade marked "WESN. — Copper front scale lends this little knife refinement, texture and depth, and helps the hand-drawn art to shine.

Hardworking D2 steel on the 1.5-inch blade and ceramic bearings round out this tough little knife. Weighing in at just 2 ounces, this is an easy EDC essential that is sure to be a conversation-starter every time you use it.
