Overview
Design by Cerberus Knives
Description:
The Arion is a folding knife from Artisan Cutlery that has a surprisingly big bite. The spear point blade is wider than the width of the handles, leading to a pleasant surprise when the knife is opened. The blade is made from high-quality S35VN, a favorite for high-end knives, and is smoothly deployed on ball bearings with a thumb groove. The presenting handle scale is burgundy micarta, while the back is textured titanium, providing an attractive look without sacrificing grip or functionality. This knife is fun to use and is definitely one we would recommend. It comes with a titanium pocket clip and hidden lanyard hole for ease of carrying.
