Design by Dirk Pinkerton

The Arroyo is a compact flipper from Artisan Cutlery designed by Dirk Pinkerton. The aggressively designed blade has a large upswept profile that is great for self-defense but excels at most cutting tasks. It is made from proprietary steel by CJRB and Artisan called AR-RPM9 that takes the best qualities of D2 and stainless to make budget steel that really holds up. The blade is deployed quickly thanks to the ceramic ball bearings in the pivot and is secured via the liner lock built into the handle. The handles themselves are made from milled G10 that have a light texturing that really helps with the grip. The knife comes with a stainless steel pocket clip that is reversible to accommodate right and left-handed people.

Features:

·THIN AND LIGHTWEIGHT SLICER: The Arroyo has been trimmed down in order to make it the best cutting tool possible without adding extra bulk or weight to the pocket. At the same time, it features a set of ultralight G10 scales that have been carefully milled to reduce weight without sacrificing grip.

·AR-RPM9 A NEW INNOVATIVE STEEL: Artisan Cutlery designed AR-RPM9 to meet the demanding needs of daily pocket knife users. With exceptional corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and easy maintenance AR-RPM9 is simply a cut above other steels.

·SMOOTH RELIABLE ACTION ON BEARINGS: We outfitted this pocket knife with a set of high-quality ceramic ball bearings to ensure lightning-fast deployment in any situation. The flipper tab is positioned perfectly for easy access in any hand.

·COMFORTABLE AND RELIABLE LINER LOCK: The Arroyo is outfitted with a sturdy full-length liner lock that will ensure this folding knife locks open securely and stays that way until you need to stash it back in your pocket.

·DESIGNED BY DIRK PINKERTON: Dirk Pinkerton has always been able to take a simple design and make it into an ergonomic masterpiece. His designs feature clean lines and dramatic shapes that straddle the line between practical and tactical, but once you hold one of them in hand, it’s all business.
