- Slim carbon fiber handle provides lightweight durability and premium aesthetics
- Ceramic ball bearing pivot for exceptionally smooth flipping action
- Thin profile design allows easy pocket carry

Considerations
- Liner lock is less robust than frame lock for heavy-duty use

- No deep carry clip limits discreet carry options
Overview
Description:
Elegant styling and tons of functionality are the hallmarks of the Cygnus flipper from ArtisanCutlery. This angular knife is both tactical and practical; truly our favorite combination when it comes to design parameters. It's svelte enough for everyday carry while still being large enough, and more importantly sturdy enough to protect your life. The 3.625" D2 reverse tanto blade transitions nicely into the angular but ergonomic handle for a very good-looking, good-feeling knife. Its thin profile allows you to easily slide your hand into your pocket while you're carrying the knife, which cannot be said for every knife out there. You have a lot of control over the cuts you make with the Cygnus and we think it will serve you well for years to come.
