Product Description
Aptly named, Artisan Cutlery’s Proponent could very well play an integral role in your EDC rotation. With its stocky build and premium materials, it doesn’t shy away from intimidating tasks Read More

Yes, and well over half a pound hanging from the edge of your pocket. Kind of interesting looking, but too heavy for EDC, at least for pocket carry.

billcLol can't say I ever have, or ever intend to, edc a Tomahawk..... But wasn't there just a drop for one in the last week or so?
Edit : there was one, but it's not active now, and not showing in recent drops... Comments on it were 5 days ago though, mostly negative stuff about the price... Must've closed early (search Gerber Tomahawk)

It says there were 6 sold .... anyone willing to post an update, some pics, etc.? It's a "curious looking" design to say the least, but there are no videos posted anywhere yet, and the pics on Artisan's site help a little, as far as getting additional angles to view, but not really. It looks like the blade is around 2.5 - 2.85", then an additional 1+" by means of that exaggerated tip. The more I look at it, the more I really want one now :-)

Looks like what would happen if Andre de Villiers and Greg Medford got together after a night of testosterone-heavy debauchery. I kinda want one...
Oh wait- aren’t I supposed to be freaking out and crying that this knife is a card-carrying member of the NSDAP?

jjl1911That's kinda my point.... We draw attention to it in the form of joking about it (I'm guilty too), and it just gets more people looking for what doesn't exist.
Many still say it's ridiculous and not there, but I'm sure the occasional one looks for it soooo hard that they finally see some similarity in their head and go "omg, yes! It was there all along! I can't believe i didn't see it before!"
And then we've added to the lunacy 🙄

without looking at the dimension, you woulda thought that it's a small 7-inch knife like a kizer rogue. 10oz holy crap!

massdrop01Yeah, i was excited until I saw the size. To me, this shape makes more sense as a smaller knife - 3" blade max. if they make a smaller one, I'm in.

You can buy this knife on life with immediate delivery, full warranty for $179.95. If I spend more time I maybe could find it for less.

This looks an awful lot like ADV butchers. I'm really said to see that now mass drop is supporting knife manufacturers that basically steal designs. Masssdrop just keeps getting worse and worse.

awkaye - either the stated dimensions are wrong or this thing is basically a folding airplane wing.

Got to see the Proponent (full size and compact versions) at Blade show 2019 and snagged some good footage of Artisan Cutlery explaining a bit about the knife, and what makes it unique. Link here: https://youtu.be/r1IfWPjzpcw?t=401

Thanks!! I did a lot of coverage with my friend Eric - I need to ask why they changed the name to Proponent

For a little more money one can buy an M390 version "Ravine." $180 however is not a bad price for what you're getting from DROP.
And no, I'm not selling my ARKTIKA and Pretorian! Most of Medford's are D2, a much cheaper steel than s35vn, and certainly much cheaper than M390. but D2 happens to be a great, high performance steel - don't cut yourselves with it! You can spend a little more and get other steels from Medford. He thinks it's a waste of money.
You can also bet that when the origins are not specified, they are from the Orient.

So, if my eyeballing is correct...this blade just about 2" tall?
With a 1" tall flat grind, on a 4.75mm thick blade?
And will be roughly 3" wide in the pocket?
