Artisan Cutlery SMKW Exclusive Tomahawk Folding Knife AR-RPM9/Burgundy Micarta

The Artisan Cutlery Tomahawk folding knife is built with a no-nonsense mindset, blending modern materials with a hard-use design that’s ready for real work. This exclusive version was created specifically for Smoky Mountain Knife Works and delivers a refined edge with rugged character. From the blade steel to the handle scales, every detail feels purposeful and dialed in for everyday carry.

At the core is an AR-RPM9 stainless steel blade engineered for balanced performance. It offers excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice whether the knife sees daily pocket time or tougher weekend use. The blade’s clean grind and practical profile provide confident cutting performance across a wide range of tasks, from precision work to heavier slicing jobs. Smooth manual deployment keeps operation controlled and predictable, reinforcing the Tomahawk’s work-focused design.

The handle is fitted with rich burgundy Micarta scales that bring both grip and character to the knife. Micarta is known for its durability and tactile feel, especially when conditions get less than ideal. The deep burgundy tone adds a subdued, premium look without sacrificing toughness, while the ergonomic shape fills the hand comfortably and promotes secure control during use. Subtle hardware and clean lines keep the overall profile streamlined and practical.

As an SMKW exclusive, this Tomahawk stands apart from standard production runs. It’s a knife made for users who want something distinctive without compromising performance. Smoky Mountain Knife Works is the world’s largest knife store and a true Tennessee landmark, drawing over 1.5 million visitors each year to its legendary showroom in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, and exclusives like this are a big reason collectors and users keep coming back.
