Lock Type : |
Frame-Lock ![A framelock (also frame lock) is a special type of locking mechanism used in one-handed knives. Generally considered to be more sturdy & reliable than a linerlock, the general open and close methods don't vary much; the only real difference between the two variations is that with a liner lock as the blade opens a separate liner engages to lock the blade, however in a frame lock a whole portion of the frame engages to lock the blade. Detailed description: In almost every frame lock, a detent ball engages with a hole in the base of the blade to keep it closed, as well as providing tension for a snappy opening. A stop pin mounted above and forward of the pivot locates the blade's end position when opened, also helping to eliminate wear on the lock bar.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Pivot Assembly : |
Ceramic Ball Bearings ![Ceramic balls are rounder, lighter, harder, and smoother than steel balls due to their lack of porousness. This reduces friction as well as energy loss, allowing your equipment to run more efficiently (and for longer) with ceramic ball bearings. They are able to run without lubrication, have low thermal expansion, are normally low density and have non-magnetic qualities. Ceramic bearings are said to be three to five times harder than steel bearings.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |
Blade Material : |
Böhler M390 [Stainless] SUPERSTEEL |
Blade Treatment : |
Heat Treated ![Heat treating is a part of the knife making process that is designed to help harden the steel of the blade for use. Heat treating can be accomplished in four steps: normalize, quench, temper, and sand. Water is one of the most efficient quenching media where maximum hardness is desired, but there is a small chance that it may cause distortion and tiny cracking. When hardness can be sacrificed, mineral oils are often used. If you don't heat treat a blade the blade will not remain sharp or straight. It is prone to chipping and bending. Essentially, you'll have a knife-shaped metal piece. Even if the blade steel is good, it is useless until it is hardened.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |
Handle Material : |
Ti-6Al-4V Titanium , Carbon Fibre ![A brilliant material for knives: Lightweight, highly durable & incredibly nice to look at. Carbon fibers or carbon fibres are fibers about 5 to 10 micrometers in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. Carbon fibers have several advantages: high stiffness, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and low thermal expansion. Though steel is generally considered the standard when it comes to construction and industrial settings, in terms of strength to weight ratios, carbon fiber is actually significantly stronger than steel. Carbon fiber is chemically stable, corrosion-resistant, and won't rust. Meaning it works well in harsh environments. Carbon fibre does not absorb water from the environment, and its resistance remains unchanged when immersed in water. It used to be outrageously expensive but now carbon fibre is becoming more affordable making it an incredibly appealing material on knives.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Ti-6Al-4V Titanium ![Titanium is considered to be a strong metal with an ultimate tensile strength of 434 MPa that makes 63,000 psi which is roughly equal to the strength of a low-grade steel alloy. This means titanium can be used as a replacement for steel—a major benefit, as it is 45% lighter than steel. Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), classed as an alpha-beta alloy, is the most widely used of the high strength titanium alloys. The alloy combines its good mechanical strength and low density (4.42 kg/dm³) with excellent corrosion resistance in many media.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Elijah Isham ![Elijah Isham from USA - "I've been a knife enthusiast since first going to local knife shows with my dad when I was 6 years old, but it wasn't until around 2010 that I really got into bushcraft and started using knives a lot, then I eventually started thinking about actually designing some. So in 2012 I put pencil to paper and drew my first knives, these were all for bushcraft but I quickly moved on to broaden my approach to design and start exploring to find my style. My work quickly shifted from outdoor tools to something more influenced by my main fascination, art. Skip ahead to a year later and I began designing folders using a 2D CAD program. My intention was to look at knife design from a different angle, under a different light, with complete open mindedness to explore the boundaries of what form a knife could take on. I try and approach the process from an almost surrealistic perspective to delve into the irrational structure and non anylitic aesthetic of the subconscious and translate this into knife design. I like to implement as much sacred geometry as a design will allow naturally. I always try and focus on geometric ratios, proportion and how raw shape will relate to itself within a design. I like to utilize hyperbolic and elliptical non-euclidean geometry most of the time. This gives my designs an organic form which I find not only works best but looks and feels best. Even if it may not seem like it, my foremost objective with every model is ergonomics, this will usually dictate nearly every line on the knife. To date, I've designed over 200 folders. My work has evolved many times over the years and hopefully will continue to do so. I'm always trying to push the envelope in one way or another. I hope to present something in my collaborative efforts with WE knives that challenges the typical and offers something a bit more obscure, esoteric, and perhaps even perplexing." RIP - 27 Years Old Elijah Isham get's shot by Police Officer.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Description:
The WE Knife Arrakis might look familiar. The Arrakis is namely based on its predecessor, the Eschaton, designed by Elijah Isham. The Arrakis distinguishes itself from the Eschaton by means of the slightly minimalist blade and the more detailed titanium handle. The result? A slightly more useful knife, but just as impressive as the Eschaton!
The Arrakis is simply an incredibly cool and very unique pocket knife. Take, for instance, the handle. It is phenomenally constructed. The fact alone that WE Knife was able to make this knife a reality is incredibly impressive. The backspacer, for instance, is actually a simplified piece of an integrated frame. This piece was milled from a thick piece of titanium. The titanium bolsters are neatly placed on top. WE Knife milled parts from the handle to give it a sort of alien-like/science fiction look and feel. Remarkable and exactly what we have grown accustomed to from Elijah Ishams design style.
The blade is made from Austrian M390 steel. A premium type of steel that is popular with top-quality pocket knives because of its excellent sharpness retention. The blade doesn't have the same curve in the edge as the Eschaton. As such the blade on the Arrakis is more suited for daily use.
