Description

ACU1845PNTG: Arroyo 1845P-NTG Flipper Knife, Translucent Green G10

Artisan Cutlery

The Arroyo is a compact flipper from Artisan Cutlery designed by Dirk Pinkerton. The aggressively designed blade has a large upswept profile that is great for self-defense but excels at most cutting tasks. It is made from a proprietary steel by CJRB and Artisan called AR-RPM9 that takes the best qualities of D2 and stainless to make a budget steel that really holds up. The blade is deployed quickly thanks to the ceramic ball bearings in the pivot and is secured via the liner lock built into the handle. The handles themselves are made from milled G10 that have a light texturing that really helps with the grip. The knife comes with a stainless steel pocket clip that is reversible to accommodate right and left-handed people.

Good budget choice with QC issues
I bought this for the blade geometry and the AR-RPM9, as well as the overall design. The problem is, the blade stop (where it meets the lockbar) has a huge sharp burr that is actually cutting into the liner. It's hardened so it might take a diamond dremel to grind it out but this is unacceptable. Also the steel liners and G10 scales are thinner than competitors at the same price. Both need 0.5mm more thickness. It just seems like there was cost cutting. While the lockbar is a little tight, I'll take the extra safety since it hits 50% (still thin tho). Coming from the pyrite I expected better, and now the brand is tarnished for me as I have other Made in China knives in the same price that are finished much better than this. 5 for design, 2 for execution=3.5. At least Artisan did throw in a felt pouch.
