Koenig Arius Framelock Folder M398 Raw DLC Bld 6AL4V Ti DLC Osseus 2.0 Handle AR18688888

The Koenig Arius Framelock Folder is a masterclass in modern knife design, combining premium materials, precision machining, and a no-nonsense build that thrives in both daily carry and high-end collections. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a folder that feels as solid in the hand as it looks.

Leading the way is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from elite M398 stainless steel, a high-performance alloy prized for its incredible edge retention and toughness. Finished with a raw DLC coating, the blade has a bold, industrial appearance while gaining added protection against wear and corrosion. With a blade thickness of 0.15 inches, it has the strength to tackle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining the slicing performance that a finely tuned drop point is known for.

Deployment is quick and intuitive thanks to the combination flipper and thumb hole design. Whether you prefer a fast flip or a controlled manual opening, the Arius responds with the smooth action that has become a hallmark of Koenig craftsmanship. Once deployed, the framelock mechanism engages with confidence, providing the dependable lockup serious users expect.

The handle is built from rugged 6AL4V titanium and features the striking DLC-coated Osseus 2.0 pattern. Its skeletonized construction reduces unnecessary weight while preserving the exceptional strength titanium is known for, giving the knife a balanced feel that makes extended use comfortable. At 5 inches closed, 8.5 inches overall, and weighing just 4.0 ounces, the Arius offers a substantial grip without becoming a burden in the pocket.

This is a knife designed for enthusiasts who appreciate the finer points of engineering. Every contour, cutout, and finish reflects the attention to detail that has earned the Arius its reputation among collectors and everyday users alike.

The presentation matches the knife itself. Each Arius arrives in a premium box with a magnetized closing lid and includes a cleaning cloth and a sticker, creating an unboxing experience worthy of a flagship folder. Whether it's headed into a rotation of hard-use tools or displayed as part of a carefully curated collection, this knife is built to leave a lasting impression.
