The texture of desert terrain rather than a simple, uniform colour: this third iteration of the Tracks fully embraces its place within WE Knife’s military-inspired collection. The ‘Desert Terrain’ finish on the titanium gives it an instantly recognisable visual presence, straddling the line between field equipment and a contemporary collector’s item.
This distinctive character extends to the drop-point blade, crafted from Böhler M390. Its two-tone black finish combines black stonewashed bevels with brushed black flat surfaces. The contrast emphasises the blade’s geometry, whilst the hollow grind ensures a precise and efficient cut. Measuring 9.9 cm in length, it retains proportions versatile enough for a wide range of everyday uses.
The 6AL4V titanium handle features machined lines that define the grip. The black spacer creates a subtle contrast with the Desert Terrain finish of the handle and clip, lending greater depth to the overall design.
The blade is deployed via a flipper mechanism mounted on encapsulated ceramic ball bearings. The frame lock utilises the inherent strength of the titanium to hold the blade in the open position, whilst the right-handed clip allows for tip-up carry.
Production of the WE23059-3 is limited to 210 units, ten more than the other two versions of the Tracks. Each knife is assigned a unique serial number and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

Tellknives review:
The WE23059-3 is undoubtedly the most distinctive Tracks model in the range. Its Desert Terrain finish and two-tone black blade give it a strong tactical identity, without being over the top thanks to the model’s relatively clean lines. We particularly appreciate the contrast between the stonewashed bevels and the brushed flat surfaces, a detail that highlights the care taken with the finishes. Visually more distinctive than the grey and bronze versions, it is likely to appeal primarily to enthusiasts of high-end military knives and limited editions.
