Artisan Cutlery SMKW Exclusive Shark Folding Knife Black Coated Blade/Burgundy Micarta ATZ1707MBBGD

The Artisan Cutlery SMKW Exclusive Shark is a folding knife built with power, precision, and clean lines. Its 4" AR-RPM9 stainless steel drop point blade is finished in a stealthy black coating that resists wear and adds a tactical edge to its appearance. This blade steel, developed specifically for Artisan, offers impressive performance in toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, making it a reliable companion for everyday use or demanding work.

Deployment is smooth and decisive thanks to a blade flipper riding on a ceramic ball bearing pivot, delivering consistent action with little effort. A linerlock mechanism keeps the blade secure once opened, providing strength and confidence in hand. The handle is fitted with burgundy Micarta scales, offering both durability and an appealing textured grip, supported by black coated stainless steel liners for added resilience. At 5" closed and weighing 4.3oz, it strikes the right balance of size and portability, with an ambidextrous pocket clip for carry flexibility.

This knife is only available at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, making it an exclusive collectors and users alike won’t find anywhere else.
