Artisan Cutlery Prime FAQ

Designed by Johnathan Shaw, the Artisan Cutlery Prime pairs a stout, bulldog-inspired blade profile with premium materials like CPM-S90V steel, contoured Micarta, and milled titanium.

What blade steel is used on the Artisan Cutlery Prime?
The Artisan Cutlery Prime is built with a premium CPM-S90V stainless steel blade for long-lasting edge retention. The 3-inch blade features a high flat grind that delivers excellent slicing ability while maintaining a sturdy, robust feel in use.
What handle materials are featured on the Prime?
The Prime uses a hybrid handle setup with a contoured green canvas Micarta scale on the show side and milled titanium on the frame lock side. It also includes a matching milled titanium pocket clip fastened with clean, internally mounted hardware.
What makes the Artisan Cutlery Prime blade profile unique?
The Prime features a pugnacious, bulldog-like profile where the cutting edge drops below the line of the handle. This distinct geometry gives you better downward leverage during slicing and utility cutting tasks.
How are the ergonomics and grip on the Prime?
The Artisan Cutlery Prime has a relatively slim, contoured handle that sits comfortably in hand and carries unobtrusively in the pocket. While it has a sleeker profile rather than an oversized grip, it still accommodates a firm purchase when pushing through heavier cuts.
Is the Artisan Cutlery Prime worth the price?
Offering S90V blade steel, a milled titanium frame lock, and contoured Micarta in the under-$200 range, the Prime provides high-end materials at an accessible price point. It represents strong overall value from Artisan Cutlery for an enthusiast-grade everyday carry knife.
