What blade steel and blade shape does the Tortoise have?

The Tortoise uses a front flipper mechanism and can also be reverse-flicked using the blade cutout. It rides on smooth ball bearings for fluid, reliable deployment.
What handle materials and lock type does the Tortoise use?

What variant options are available in the Tortoise series?

How are the ergonomics on the Artisan Cutlery Tortoise?
The handle provides a secure standard grip with a thoughtfully shaped curve around the pivot that allows users to choke up on the blade. This choke-up position gives you enhanced leverage and control when pushing through substantial cutting jobs.
