ARTISAN CUTLERY PROPONENT ATZ-1820P D2 Steel Black PVD Blade Black G10 Handle Pocket Knife Folding Knife EDC Knife

The Proponent – Iconic Overbuilt EDC Powerhouse The Proponent is one of our most legendary models. With its stunning 4" angled Wharncliffe blade and nearly 9" overall length, this massive folder is built far beyond the limits of most conventional pocket knives. It makes a bold statement in the pocket and delivers unmatched readiness for anything life throws at you. Why It Stands Out Aggressive Wharncliffe BladeThe distinctive angled shape excels as both a tactical tool and a large, highly effective EDC — perfect for powerful slicing and piercing. Massive Cutting PowerAt almost 1.75" wide, the blade generates tremendous edge force — capable of slicing through the toughest materials with ease. Designed by Dirk PinkertonA master of practical, ergonomic designs, Dirk Pinkerton created the Proponent as the ultimate synthesis of tactical strength and everyday usability. Ultra-Tough G10 HandleTemperature-resistant, waterproof, non-reactive, and incredibly strong under pressure. Precision-milled groove pattern delivers exceptional grip — even in wet or slippery conditions. Rock-Solid Lock & Secondary SafetyRobust full liner construction + liner lock for maximum strength. Hardened steel lock pin screws through the scales as a secondary backup — virtually eliminating any chance of lock failure. Silky-Smooth ActionCeramic ball-bearing pivot + ceramic detent for fast, snappy one-handed flipper deployment and buttery-smooth closing — crisp action that lasts a lifetime.
