Artisan Cutlery Sirius Front Flipper

Most versions of the Artisan Cutlery Sirius feature both a front flipper and dual thumb studs for versatile deployment options. The top-tier titanium model omits the thumb studs to create a sleeker visual profile, relying solely on the front flipper.

The Artisan Cutlery Sirius is built across three primary material tiers. Base options use AR-RPM9 powder metallurgy steel with G10 handle scales, mid-tier versions feature CPM-S35VN stainless steel paired with Micarta, and high-end variants combine S35VN steel with full titanium handles.

The Sirius series was designed by custom knifemaker Ray Laconico. It showcases his signature minimalist aesthetic and clean lines, sharing stylistic traits with his other Artisan Cutlery collaborations like the Centauri.

The locking mechanism varies depending on the handle material selected for the knife. The G10 and Micarta handle options utilize an inset liner lock, while the full titanium model features a frame lock for a streamlined, gentlemanly finish.

The Artisan Cutlery Sirius provides high value across every tier by pairing custom Ray Laconico design elements with quality construction. Buyers can choose an accessible entry model around $70 or step up to mid-tier Micarta and high-end titanium options in the $128 to $200 range.
