Artisan Cutlery Beest Front Flipper & Thumb Hole Knife – Gold Aluminum & Black AR-SFII (1878P-GL)

Listen up, you gear-grinding paste-eaters, clear off the workbench and pay attention. If you’re still carrying a plain-jane, boring budget folder that looks like everyone else’s plastic cutter, your carry setup is running on half-power. Stop acting like a bench-top bench-warmer settling for basic gear when you can run high-tier custom styling with absolute beastly cutting power. Designed by Dusty Rhodes, the Artisan Cutlery Beest (1878P-GL) is a multi-deployment, tactical workhorse engineered for the garage-dwelling artisan who demands proprietary AR-SFII steel performance, rapid bearing-driven action, and striking Gold Aluminum ergonomics while enjoying a fresh box of Crayons.

It pairs a 3.65-inch blacked-out AR-SFII drop point blade with sculpted Gold Aluminum handle scales and dual front flipper and thumb hole deployment options, looking completely lethal sitting on a grease-stained workbench right next to your primary shop tools.

The Sharp & Salty Details

• 3.65-Inch AR-SFII Steel Core: Forged with a 3.65-inch (92.6mm) drop point blade (0.13" / 3.2mm thickness) crafted from Artisan's proprietary AR-SFII steel hardened to HRC 59-61. Features a versatile flat grind and a stealthy Black PVD Coating for extreme edge retention, aggressive slicing geometry, and maximum corrosion resistance.

• Dusty Rhodes Custom Design: Designed by Dusty Rhodes to deliver a unique blend of bold visual lines and hard-working ergonomic utility.

• Dual Multi-Fuel Deployment: Built for fidget addicts and high-speed engagement. Deploys effortlessly via the high-speed Front Flipper tab or the wide Thumb Hole cutout, riding on ceramic ball bearings for glass-smooth opening whether you flick or roll it open.

• Gold Aluminum Scale Armor: Outfitted with premium, lightweight Gold Aluminum handle scales over a 4.37-inch (111mm) closed chassis. Offers a striking, loud aesthetic with a rock-solid feel that stands up to hard shop use.

• Rock-Solid Liner Lock Mechanics: Driven by a reliable steel Liner Lock mechanism that secures the blade with zero flex during heavy push-cuts and allows for easy one-handed closing.

• Lightweight 3.46 oz Carrying Profile: Tipping the scales at a nimble 3.46 oz (98g) with an overall length of 8.02 inches (203.6mm), it packs massive cutting presence into a light, pocket-friendly frame fitted with a heavy-duty steel pocket clip.

The Artisan Cutlery Beest 1878P-GL pulls zero punches, deletes dull budget cutters from your rotation, and upgrades your daily carry layout to absolute elite status. Stop acting like a socket-wrench slinging savage carrying boring scrap metal—lock in a gold-and-black multi-flick beast and drop the Beest straight into your daily lineup.
