Artisan Cutlery Littoral D2 Folding Knife

I am trying to find a good reason for owning such a knife, but it has too many negatives going against it, starting with the proprietary pivot screw. Then its all downhill from there.

I’m with you on stonewash. It’s been overdone. It’s everywhere. I also prefer a fine, hand-rubbed satin and a polished blade more than stonewashing. I use about two-thirds of my blades: lightly and gently and don’t ‘need’ stonewashing to hide scratches. On some knives I ise more frequently and probably won’t sell, I am doing my own hand-rubbed finish over the stonewashing and have found the effect to be very interesting and preferable to stonewash. https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/img_comment/UlzNf8eKTKqxOvkw3wZK_AE1FFFD296794245B8F578ECAD46B1F2.jpeg
