That discussion mirrors the one concerning the difference between 440A and 440C.Looking for a premium Japanese knife set at an affordable price? Then look no further than KOI Artisan. A steel for kitchen sinks like 3Cr13MoV is definitely not the same as 9Cr18MoV. But you must take into consideration which numbers that are involved. ** This especially goes for Chinese brands since the "knife world" highly trends sensitive and their domestic "number steels" such as 8Cr13MoV has been labeled as low grade. Maybe the G10 versions are slightly bigger. The same goes for the handle that they say is 128 mm and according to me, it's 125 mm. But no matter how I measure this knife it isn't that long. * Artisan Cutlery claim on their homepage that the blade is 100 mm. Produced by: Artisan Cutlery, made in China Handle: carbon fiber on top of a steel frame So if you are a fan of cleaver-bladed folding knives the Osprey from Artisan Cutlery is definitely a candidate for your pocket! One can have different opinions about that detail but I like it on this knife. For that very reason, I personally would have chosen another design for a product aiming for a global market.īesides that, the pivot head has been provided with the knife's only exclamation mark, a colorful collar in gaudy orange.

But as everyone knows it also got another meaning since it got kidnapped and became the "Hakenkreuz". That sort of symbol is an ancient token for luck and success both here in Scandinavia but above all in several countries in Asia. But you can't help think it looks like a swastika viewed from certain angles. I do understand that it is supposed to be a stylized mirroring of Artisans logo. The knife has got a decorative pivot screw whose pattern can be discussed. The handle slabs are mounted on a steel frame that has been weight relieved. It also strongly resembles the type of finish Ganzo have on their CF. I can't say for certain but I don't think they are massive CF but some laminated version with a sticker on top of G10 like most Taichung made Spydercos for instance. One of the most visible features of this knife is the very glossy carbon fiber handle. The way I prefer if there should be any text at all.

#Artisan cutlery serial
That is a properly sized logo on one side and on the other serial number, type of steel and country of origin but in miniature size. It can also be noted that Artisan is doing alright on the billboard side of things. The finish on the Osprey is a semi-shiny stone wash with a surface that is rather practical as well as matching the looks of the knife. But it's "the latest" and relatively cheap so many companies use it.* For that reason, it's not a favorite of mine even in the budget segment. And despite that, there is often a tendency to chip. I want to add that my personal experience of this steel from several brands is that they demand rather thick edges to avoid brittleness. Knife edges in D2 should be taken good care of in order to avoid that. The same of course goes for re-profiling of edges. They are also in general very hard and can, therefore, be tricky to sharpen once they get dull. The disadvantage is that steels of this type are not stainless. But there is always a trade-off for these traits. Heat treat aside It's well known for taking a keen edge and for holding it for a long time. A tool steel that seems to be hot for the moment. The steel in this version of the model is D2.
