The blade is easily deployed by either utilizing the dual thumbstuds, or even by pressing the button and flicking your wrist. The opening action is aided by the integration of ceramic ball bearings that always make Artisan's knives a pleasure to use. The handle is available in several material options including Micarta and Titanium.

Surpassed expectations
I was a little hesitant at first but saw some good things about this company and this knife on youtube reviews like MetalComplex. I don't care much about fancy packaging but the tin this came in is nice (can't remember if a pouch also came with it). The blade is mirror polished and the factory edge is extremely sharp. It's one of the few knives that I didn't immediately use my water stones the day I got it. It opens so smoothly and effortlessly, yet I have never had it accidentally open in my pocket. The button lock is great, and if you look at how the button lock engages into the blade, then you see how precisely this is machined. The 'notch' is machined to be the exact shape of the lock, unlike other button locks I have seen where it's like a plunger that slides into a hooked part of blade. And the clip is milled out of the titanium, it's not a normal screwed on clip.This knife is a absolute deal!!!Other knives like this run in the $400 and up range.
