ARTISANCUTLERY Tactical Knife Proponent Normal Size(1820P) D2 Steel Black PVD Blade, Folding Pocket Knife with G10 Handle, Black

The Knife seems well made. I wasn’t crazy about it being made in China but I needed an inexpensive knife for work that’s gets pretty abused. It is larger than what I expected and has a good solid weight to it. I will see how it does long term.

The liner lock up is strong and early, which is a sign of good machining. The blade is sharp enough but it could be sharper. Its not a big deal. I love how robust the design is and the extra locking pin that it comes with. I wish they would make more variations of the sub size instead of just all black. They used to have copper scaled versions, burlap micarta, red canvas micarta, etc.

This is a seriously beefy knife at around 10 Oz, so make sure that you will be comfortable carrying that much weight in your pocket. If you are looking to carry a knife as a tool, this is a great knife. It could be used for batoning firewood, particularly if you use the included locking pin. The action is smooth and easy to open and close. It does not have an assisted open, so if you live in a state where assisted knives are a problem, this is a good fit.

This is a big handled thick bladed knife that is amazing! It’s got one of those futuristic vibes going on. It’s great for big hands and good for not big hands too. This is a really awesome looking and amazing built knife 10/10 recommend if not for a daily carry just to have!

Cons: definitely not a light knife despite the relatively modest closed and blade lengths (under 3 in or 77mm). The proprietary, shallow screws can be a bit of a pain but various sized flathead screwdrivers will handle it.Pros: excellent sturdy blade with a surprisingly thin tip for delicate work. Knife excels at strong pushcuts and tip piercing or tabletop utility work. Handle is both neutral enough and thick enough to allow a good grip.While my example had a decently strong linerlock I think an alternative lock might be ideal for both safety and ambidexterity concerns.

Beautiful knife and built with quality.

Get them while they're cheap! These are heavy duty folders even for a liner lock. I see these becoming more popular and going up in price.

I got 2 sizes of this knife. Both are a “Beast” the action is smooth as silk. Designed for hard usage, and survival mode if necessary. I would recommend these knives for anyone.
