Artisan Cutlery Tradition V2 Liner Lock Knife – Green G10 & Black AR-RPM9 (1702M-BGN)

Listen up, you gear-grinding paste-eaters, clear off the workbench and pay attention. If you’re still messing around with clunky, sluggish budget folders that slow down your workflow and dull after three cutting tasks, your carry setup is running on half-power. Stop acting like a bench-top bench-warmer carrying soft-tier steel that can't handle real shop abuse. Meet the Artisan Cutlery Tradition V2 (1702M-BGN)—a refined, high-speed liner lock workhorse engineered for the garage-dwelling artisan who demands proprietary AR-RPM9 powder-steel performance, rapid bearing-driven action, and non-slip G10 ergonomics without blowing their budget.

It pairs a 3.58-inch drop point blade—coated in a non-reflective, stealthy Black PVD finish—with high-traction Green G10 handle scales, looking completely lethal sitting on a grease-stained workbench right next to your primary shop setup.

The Sharp & Salty Details

• 3.58-Inch AR-RPM9 Powder Steel Core: Forged with a 3.58-inch (91mm) drop point blade (0.11" / 2.7mm thickness) crafted from Artisan's proprietary AR-RPM9 powder metallurgy steel hardened to HRC 59-61. Features a versatile flat grind and a stealthy Black PVD Coating for superior edge retention, clean slicing geometry, and high-tier corrosion resistance.

• Rapid Ceramic Bearing Action: Riding on a smooth ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly, the blade deploys with effortless, glass-like speed for instant one-handed flicking when your other hand is holding shop materials.

• High-Traction Green G10 Scale Armor: Outfitted with durable, contoured Green G10 handle scales over a 4.49-inch (114mm) closed chassis. Delivers a confident, locked-in grip that won't slip out of your palm even when covered in shop grease, oil, or rain.

• Rock-Solid Liner Lock Mechanics: Driven by a time-tested, heavy-duty steel Liner Lock mechanism that holds the blade open with zero play during heavy cutting tasks and allows for smooth, one-handed closing.

• Featherweight 3.35 oz EDC Profile: Tipping the scales at a nimble 3.35 oz (95g) with an overall length of 8.07 inches (205mm), it packs full-sized cutting reach into a lightweight frame fitted with a robust steel pocket clip for effortless daily carry.

The Artisan Cutlery Tradition V2 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 heavy scrap metal—lock in a powder-steel G10 folder and drop the Tradition V2 straight into your daily lineup.
