i have a big banter and love it, I hope to get a real deal Ti WE knife someday...they always speak to my soul and look so good

Beautiful knives. Thanks for the review! 🤜🤛

Just got the magnetron. Lookong forward to using it. May even take it out hunting !

Thanks for a great look at these, especially the Exciton v. the Ziffius!

Your content is top tier!!!! Keep it up !!!!

So much Hype around the Exciton, I had to order one, so I did.

I like the Energy❤ its Sharp ….. Keep the Nice 👍🏾 work

The sencut actium is one of my favorite knives and that magnetron looks like a premium version of it and I'm down with that great video man 👍

Wow, beautiful knives!!

Love looks of the first one , BA!

Birth are great looking knives for EDC and WE does a great job on fit and finish. Would be interesting to get these tested to see what thier HRC is at and if it's within target range, and also a look at them after a couple of sharpenings to see how well they hold up. Thanks for the look see and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

That Magnetron detent sounds like a metronome! Beautiful!!

You know a knife is fantastic if it receives Jared seal of approval. Those are beautiful knives.

Loving your enthousiasm here. Good video as always, even if i can't efford (for the moment ^^') a WE. Thanks M. NEEVE !

That is some really handsome knife right there! All of them look really good, you convinced me. Damn, if those were inside my budget (and needs) I would probably go for one of these. 👍

Tnx Jared. Just grabbed the black & gold Exciton!!

very cool your gonna absolutely love it good for you on an awesome new knife, its def one that your gonna appreciate

I love my Exciton!!

the Ziffius is amazing, excited to my Exciton to show up

They finally did a plain pivot without the WE logo in it! And it looks phenomenal! Way better in my opinion! I love everything about that magnetron and exciton, if only they took that same formula, got rid of all WE logos on pivot and clip, and had different styles of blades that just looked better, whatever that might be, that would be a perfect knife! Don’t get me wrong, I love the direction they are going in and as cool and beautiful as these two knives and the ziffius are, they don’t really “Wow!” me.. I’m sure if I bought any of them or had them in my hands I’d really like and appreciate them, but in reality-world I have to make smart purchases(or if it’s a love at first sight kinda thing and have to have it) and right now, I think there’s a ton other knives higher up on the list that I’d rather have, eventually. Cuz in reality-world, I don’t have a money tree, my girlfriend is no longer a stripper, I don’t sell drugs, I’m not made of money, and companies aren’t shipping knives to me or begging me to take their knives off their hands. So unfortunately I have to be responsible and really choosey. But I hope everyone enjoys theirs. They look amazing but just not for me at this time.

I like WE knifes, really well built

I kinda dig the Megatron more. Usually dont like speedholes but those look fancy McFancerson.

Bro my sezzle just had a heart attack. Great review.

Lol I like how you put up the definition of the Bowie blade pattern, just in case the blade police wanted to argue with you 😂

beautiful

I bought the same version of the Exciton that you showed in the video. I agree with you that I prefer seeing the machine marks of a satin finish to a bead blast finish. However, I think this is the nicest bead blasted finish that I’ve seen. I’m thinking that they used finer beads and possibly at a higher speed.

OH MAN gotta get my hand on one of those

Great review, I bot one!!

Man there are still Ziffius for sale but the Exciton sold out in a few days...thought it would be in stock longer..

I have a vero axon in full endcut CF. Blade is blacked out as well. Thing is freakin lovely

The first knife is a tricked out Sencut Actium which is still my favorite budget knife

What a beauty❤.

Wow that exiton is a handsome as all be it. Great looking knife

Finally large and Beautiful knives again from We. Happy to purchase the WE MAGNETRON.

Love we knives man

I have mixed feelings about a hand rubbed satin. On one hand, they looks so damn good, but on the other hand, they look so good I'm affraid to use the knife because I don't want to put any scratches or scuffs on that gorgeous hand rubbed satin. I really want a Magnetron. I have the Nexusia and Nefaris, and I finally was able to snag a Exciton. It should be here Monday. Can't wait. We has really come a long way since they first opened up shop. They are knocking on REATE's door. Unfortunately, the prices are also knocking on the door of REATE. Not that they don't deserve it. It's just that it makes it harder for so many of us to afford them.

I really like the we sachse, and the we watuaga (aka ziffius and exciton)

Thanks brother, I appreciate you naming the knives. Makes my life so much easier.

I hate button locks, never thought of owning one but when the ziffius came out, I had to get one and oh boy, glad that I did, its awesome 😂

I want the Magnetron soo bad, but I think I will hold off and get the Riff Raff that should be releasing soon. I know the Riff Raff isn't as detailed, but it's around $100 cheaper. But if they make a Magnetron in the future with more of a drop point blade I will pick it up, as I love scales with milling lines or texturing on the Ti (and those inlays on both sides just look beautiful.

I own a We Culex... I damn near have to throw it for it to fling open. Solid "detent"

I love the lil transition with the Porsche GT 😂 Are you trying to say that Porsche look like that WE knife? Because I see it.

never had a knife with a black blade so far, how delicate are those coated blades?

Even the Sencut line has excellent button locks. My Watauga feels just as good as my Ziphius

I wish they made a less dressy version of that Exciton. Button lock w/ a thumbhole is the EDC sweetspot for me.

The Exciton is psuedo-integral, is it not? The CF back is more like a back than a back-spacer, and it IS integral, although it attaches to titanium side parts. And I also like exposed edges, what is here called side-cut! I MUCH prefer solid, layered CF, especially the colored kinds, as much for their edges as for their faces! Here, between these two upper-shelf, extra nice knives, I tend to go with the WE Ziffius, because it has thumb studs, but the Magnetron is also terrific. I’m not sure I want to pay quite that much, however…

@hspenjian so some just use the button plunge lock as the stop, and others use a secondary stop pin. They have to have one in the open position as far as the close position it can save the lock from being hit hard when closed, instead of hitting the lock and then it engaging it hits the pin and then the lock engages.

Magnetron has a blade shape similar to the Sencut Actium.

I like some we knives but not for their prices and poor performance 20cv/m390. I have a feeling the few that were 61.5, 61.7 were just for those special editions and not for everything. We also have yet to see how those perform, cause they could have excessive grain growth from raising the aust temps and not lowering the soak time at those temps to achive a higher hardness. But hey we dont know that information yet. This is is one of we's major downfalls.

I had my Kitefin and my mini Malice tested at my older bro's factory about 4 months ago. The Kitefin (purchased early 2021) was 61.6, and the mini Malice (purchased around November 2022) came out to 61.2. Both blades tested 3 times then computed the average. I have never understood the communities mindset to claiming WE runs their steel soft. I have been a free hand sharpener for going on 6 years now, and every WE and Civivi knife I have ever owned has produced a crisp wire burr that basically falls off on its own (specifically Civivi D2/WE S35VN) and in my opinion out performs most other Chinese OEM's that I have encountered as well (Reate, Bestech, Kubey, Kizer)

@@wes.killed.it.5511 sharpening doesnt tell you performance. If its not in that 350ft cut range its poor performance. I dont care what hardness it is. You really dont know. Cause reate is using secondary hardening and we is not so you'll see completely different microstructure at the same hardness. Kizer are really bad and bestech at 61 can't even out perform Spyderco at 60rc.

I will agree with you that We/Civivi does the best job with their button locks. 3 reasons that set their button locks apart from the rest for me. 1. detent strength of the button is always perfect. 2. they consistently have absolutely no detent lash. 3. I have never had one that fails the spine whack test. I have had a really sour experience with 5 different CJRB/Artisan button locks, and a lot of the Kizer made button locks have the spine whack lock fail issue. The only thing We keeps doing that drives me nuts is that beadblast finish. need more stonewash and/or satin options.

Agree 100%. I own 4 WE/Civivi button locks that are all perfect, and only 1 had lock stick which was extremely minimal and wore out in a day or two. Funny enough is the best button lock that they've made to date (IMO) is the very first button lock that hit the market back in December 2021 with the Cogent. Unfortunately it's flipper only but to this day next to my Conspirator, mini Malice, and Culex, it's just about better in every way as far as the button lock mechanism is concerned. Hell, even the button lock Sencuts are smoking other brands with their button locks mechanisms, and are practically indistinguishable from the Civivi's and WE's at this point.

How can they top this one? Maybe by not making it in China?

Man i just bought the ziffius, i wish they weren't all $350+ or if they made a civivi version. 😞

I bought 2 Excitons.... I have a Ziffius and it's smooth and crisp.. magnetrons when I get more knife porn money
