Artisan Cutlery only recently sprung onto the knife scene, but the company is doing great work. Take these patterned folders for example: Made with titanium handles and built-in frame locks, they’re tough as nails and easy on the eyes. They’re also all fitted with Artisan’s ball bearing pivot system and a grippy flipper for quick deployment. The other (perhaps most important) connection these knives share is the blade steel. Crafted from premium S35VN steel, they’ll hold their edge over time with very little sharpening—and forget about corrosion buildup. Plus, whether you prefer a drop-point blade, a wharncliffe, or a sheepsfoot, this drop has you covered.
Note: At checkout, you’ll have your choice from the following: Tomahawk, Tradition, Zumwalt, Osprey, Predator, or Littoral. Due to the sensitive nature of shipping knives internationally, we can only ship this knife to select countries. It is the responsibility of the buyer to know and comply with all importation regulations and local laws. Click here for additional information.
Developed by Crucible Industries (one of the leading manufacturers of specialty steels for the cutlery industry) and Chris Reeve (pioneer of the integral frame lock, featured on the Gent), S35VN is perhaps the most balanced blade steel ever created in terms of all-around performance. It’s made through a process known as Crucible Powdered Metallurgy, which results in near perfect consistency in the distribution of carbides. Compared to conventional melting practices, the CPM process produces a steel characterized by superior dimensional stability, grindability, and toughness.
