Our bloggers are talking so much pancake while they open the knife! And you are great, you constantly flip open the blade so that you can see how it works. Thank you for your review. Be healthy .
It looks so good! They have this one labeled as "Deep Red Micarta". I don't know if it's the same or darker than the coral. I do know it looks sweet! Thank you Scott! have a great week brother.
I like these a lot. Clean, classy design and multiple deployment options. My only gripe is the lack of double thumb studs. I need that reverse flick! Haha
Right! I agree about the thumb stud, but I don't know if I could reverse flick with such a small pass through. I really like the look and feel of this one though. Thank you Void Visionary!!
@@BeezBlades Have you had a CH Knife yet? I just got a wmk restock notification for a CH Nighthawk...a 3.6" wharnie with a forward choil in d2 for $30. I'm tapped till after Christmas lol.
I got one the other day and I love it but wish had a little more access to the thumb stuff but this is a front flipper that I actually flipp comfortably
My double red coral micarta maileah is my favorite knife handle. It came with a bright red thumb stud and pivot collar, it looks so bad I sanded off the red. Liking the look of the gold accent instead.
Whew, $70-130 is getting up there for budget hahaha. Everybody's budget is different too, specially considering how long you've been collecting hahaha. Thank you Matt!!
Man, I wish I would have tried when I had it apart. Rookie mistake lol. So, looking further I see the show-side liner is tapped for the pocket clip screw, but the show-side scale is not. I'm guessing if you tapped the show-side scale it would work. That's beyond my skill level, that's for sure. (At least for now lol). I'm becoming more and more ambidextrous when it comes to knives and also more aware of these issues. I appreciate you bringing this up because it helps me to be mindful and check. Thank you Michael!!
I have the red coral micarta version. Overall I really like the knife but I did have an issue that I had to deal with. The lockup was very light and it would not lock up if it was slow rolled (which I rarely do). I took it apart and gently filed the lock bar and lock face. That helped and a lot of flips later the lockup settled in. Other than the lockup issue it is a great knife.
Good to know. I love it when people in the community tell me about things like this. It really helps to detect trends in different knives, or sometimes it's a fluke. Thank you Daniel!
Gorgeous it it's simplicity. My only nit pick is front flipper although I must admit it goes well with the overall streamlined look. The red micarta and s35vn is going on my 'want' list.
It is very sleek-looking. I do like the streamlined aesthetics too! I'm enjoying the G10 versions. Makes my pocket feel a little fancier hahaha. Thank you Louis!!
I'm a fan of the front flipper with a secondary means of deployment. I'm having a home made apple muffin for breakfast. Thanks for the tear down. I like to see what's behind the curtain.
Alright, the G10 version just a bit above usual. But the quality with the accents and titanium for well under $70, come on brother that's a deal for a very classy looking knife. And if you want to up your game just over a bill for S35VN, Sexy Micarta and styling that says, all class. Ray Laconico does not design shabby knives. Hey I got big knives, I love my XL Sheepdog, but sometimes I need to carry just enough knife, not a work horse and I think these fit the bill nicely. Well done Beez, keep on keeping on. 3K by Christmas?
That's what I was thinking when I was checking them out. It definitely looks like a Scoria Cousin. Both are slender and kind-of fancy. Thank you brother!!!
Whilst I do loathe thumb warts these are as well placed as can be done and still be useful. I do like slim knives and front flippers both (seriously, pocket pecker flipper tabs are a bit of a pain). Could be a decent slacks and sport coat kind of knife.
T9 be clear I wouldn't personally own this. We all know that ar-rpm9 is just 9Cr18MoV. 70 usd is waaay to much for that. There are s35vn versions but they range 130-200 usd. It is well made and designed as one expects from Artisan; but the material is sub par for the price range. This is a CJRB knife and should be about 45-60 bucks.
@@jacknemo8021 $70 is a little pricey, but I'm guessing you're paying for the titanium clip on that one. The one for $128, It does have some very nice micarta, titanium back spacer, titanium pivot collar and titanium clip, on top of the S35VN. They really make you pay to have some Ti on your knife hahaha. Thank you Jack. You're insight always keeps me thinking!! Have a great week brother!
I have the Sirius which I like very much but Artisan Knives need to step up on the customer service. I had an issue and it took quite a long time to rectify the problem. They did come through so I’ll give them another chance.
I’m digging the micarta, looks more premium and the titanium pivot collar and back spacer are a nice touch. It is bigger than I thought. Thanks for the review. 👍🏼
I got it!!! Well, barely hahaha. It will take some practice with this one. The G10 version I have has a pretty strong detent. I'll keep working at it!! Thank you Sam!
Don't use Q-tips because you get them hairy, and we don't want the hairy stuff hahaha. Odd that they put the designer name on different spots. The space for the linerlock could be a little more accesseable indeed, but nice jimping on the flipper when the blade is out, no slipping fingers there. Very nice Laconico knife. Thank you very much for your fun review BB.
We don't want no hairy knives hahaha. Yeah, just a little more access to the liner lock please, but other than that and it not having dual studs, it's a very nice one. You are welcome Jeroen!! Thank you!!
I love knives and really like your reviews on the not so expensive ones, I justed subscribed to your channel, seems like most people that are doing reviews are on the couple hundred dollar knives and forgot all about the cheaper ones, thanks for the video
Welcome James!! Most of the knives on my channel are under $100, without a doubt. Not everyone can buy $100+ knives, or at least not very often. (like me) so you've come to the right place! You are welcome and I hope you can make tonights live stream. They are so much fun!

If I had one suggestion Beez, it would be to split the videos in two. One for the overview and one for taking it apart. That way it’s not so long and you get two videos per knife! You could also have a playlist dedicated to maintenance of each model.
That's a good idea. I have a couple things to work out with the time I have available, and how I do the videos. I wrote this one down because it's something I would like to do once I progress enough to get the views to support disassembly-only videos. I'm a work in progress and it's great people like you that help me. I appreciate it brother!!!
I love Artisan knives, I found 2 sites that I bought about 8 from at basically half the price of everyone else. Ti with 390 is 200+ everywhere, I paid between 106 and 128 for them all. Odd because the other knives on the 2 sites aren’t any deal at all. One site I bought about 5 from actually raised the prices a bit after I bought mine lol.

These look sweet. I own 4 Artisan. Mini Archeo and large, I prefer the large one. 1 Predator and 1 Cygnus S35VN green titanium(display case safe queen)
Another fellow Predator owner? I keep finding more and more people with this knife. Its an odd ball and I don't think it was very popular, but I have one because of how unique it is. Everyone should have a Predator in their collection.

Hahahaha. I'm getting better at it. It's funny, my favorite way of deploying a front-flipper is non-conventional by using my index finger lol. I feel ya! Thank you Uncle Bub!!
I did not like front flippers for a long time. I avoided buying any. Then one day I picked up a Harnds Assassin on sale. That did it, once I got the hang of front flipping it became addicting to me. The Pretified Fish Beluga PFP01 is very easy to flip and its completely different than the Assassin as its got a very wide body. Front flippers are not for everyone I sure get that, It wasn't for me for a long time, now I love them dearly.
It is kind of weird, not having a stud on both sides. I know some higher-end knives do that, and this one is probably reversible but the screw didn't want to budge. Have an awesome week Jacob! Thank you brother!!
Some Artisan fun, Oh boy!
Woot woot. Something new to the table!
