WE Knife Tayra Review – Precision Meets Personality

Welcome back, knife fans! Today, we’re taking a close look at one of the newest offerings from WE Knife Co.—the Tayra. This sleek, modern folder blends aggressive styling with premium materials, making it a standout choice for collectors and EDC enthusiasts alike.

Let’s jump straight into the review.

Unboxing the WE Knife Tayra

Right out of the gate, WE Knife delivers a premium unboxing experience. The box is as stylish as it is minimal—featuring a clean matte finish with the WE Knife logo boldly displayed on the front. The font is crisp, modern, and understated, echoing the sophistication of the knife inside. The back of the box includes standard information like model name and barcode, but keeps the overall design clean and clutter-free.

Inside the box, you’ll find a microfiber cleaning cloth, a few WE Knife stickers, and the standard warranty documentation. Everything is neatly packed and gives the impression that you’ve just opened something special—and in many ways, you have.

First Impressions: Meet the Tayra

The WE Knife Tayra is currently offered in a gray and blue titanium variant, and as of this review, it’s the only version available. The contrast between the stonewashed blade and the colorful handle accents gives it a modern yet aggressive look.

This is a knife that doesn't just perform—it makes a statement.

Handle, Grip & Ergonomics

The handle is made from gray titanium with blue anodized accents, offering both durability and eye-catching aesthetics. It features a framelock mechanism for solid lock-up and confident use. The lanyard hole at the rear adds flexibility for customization or added carry security.

The grip is surprisingly ergonomic for a knife of this size. At 4.69 inches long, the handle fits comfortably in most hands, providing a solid, controlled feel during use.

Yes, there’s a pocket clip, and yes—it’s reversible, making it a great option for both right- and left-handed users.

Blade Details

Now onto the star of the show—the blade.

The Tayra features a 2.19-inch Bohler M390 blade, a premium steel known for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The stonewashed finish not only adds a rugged, used aesthetic but also helps hide wear over time.

The hawkbill blade shape is aggressive and tactical, perfect for utility tasks that require precision slicing. This is complemented by a flat grind, which enhances cutting performance, and a thumb stud deployment that’s both smooth and responsive.

And yes—for those of you who care about the details—the Tayra does feature jimping along the spine, providing better thumb traction for controlled cutting.
