The Button Lock: The Most Intuitive Lock

Some locking mechanisms can be difficult to figure out, as they aren't visually intuitive. Not so with a button lock. It's straightforward to understand how a button lock functions, and the design is easy to operate with one hand. The placement of the button keeps your fingers a fair distance away from the business side of your blade. Button locks are praised for their intuitive design, ease of use and solid lock-up. It's the most straight-forward of the modern locking mechanisms.

The Very Best of TJB

The Wells is 100% made in the USA, joining The Kline and The Anzick in our ever-expanding line of domestically made knives and tools. We know it’s important to you and it’s important to us too. The Wells features a button-lock for security and ease of use. The flipper tab design means that The Wells is easily and quickly deployed with just a flick of the finger; it’s a fast and easy one-handed deployment, every time. The fidget factor with a flipper is also off the charts. You’ll never be able to put this one down. The formed wire pocket clip makes for easy and secure in-pocket carry. The caged, stainless steel bearings enable a buttery smooth deployment every time. The scales are aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum.

More MagnaCut

Of all of the amazing steels out there, Magnacut remains one of our very favorite and most requested.  The MagnaCut blade of The Wells combines the corrosion-resistance of a traditional stainless steel with the unparalleled toughness of traditional high carbon steels. The bottom line is that it’s an amazingly well-balanced steel for your daily carry blade. Our MagnaCut is heat-treated to 63 HRC, and has been signed off by Dr. Larrin Thomas himself. 

The Wells is available in 2 colors: anodized aluminum with a stonewashed blade, or in a blacked out option with a DLC-coated blade. The quantities are limited, so get in on the Wells while you can.

Great flipper knife

Opening the knife is extremely smooth. The knife has a nice, slim profile, so it is a great EDC. It has quickly become my fav carry. There is one minor caveat, the release button is a little awkwardly placed too close to the flipper. Once, you get used to its placement, it’s not an issue. It’s only when you’re first getting used to it, that it’s a bit of a bother. I hope in future design iterations the designers move it a little more away from the flipper. That said, I do appreciate how the printing on blade is done. It is much better placed, than when the knife first came out. Kudos to the designers for improving on a great product.

Great Design

I really like the design and the fit and finish is very good. I wish the knife was more left hand friendly but otherwise I am very pleased with it.

The finest EDC knife that I own.

I have a collection of knives gathered over 30 years including Kershaw, Benchmade, SOG, and others. I have enjoyed carrying the Wells more than any other knife in my collection. It's shape, color, and Magnacut steel blade are exceptionally well suited for many cutting tasks. I have received many compliments as I have been using the knife as well.

Great knife but….

Great knife love the back flip but the length is slightly too long and the pocket clip is weak and loose. The clip can’t be tightened just sort of jiggles there
