Artisan Cutlery Arroyo pocket knife: a pocket-sized Persian slicer
The Artisan Cutlery Arroyo is a classic slicer designed by Dirk Pinkerton, known for his sleek yet robust designs. The Arroyo is no exception. Though the blade might look 'beefy', this is compensated by the relatively compact size of the handle, which neatly stores the blade in closed position. This knife is a stunning knife and a great choice for anyone who likes Eastern blade shapes in a convenient pocket-sized design.
Features of the Artisan Cutlery Arroyo
The Arroyo stands out as a knife you can carry with you every day. The blade shape is great for precision work and tasks requiring long, flowing movements. The upward-curved tip allows you to perform both detail work and general cutting tasks, such as cutting cardboard or paper and preparing food.
Artisan Cutlery Arroyo blade
The Persian blade shape is characterized by its elegantly curved edge and upward-pointing tip. The steel AR-RPM9 was created by Artisan Cutlery. This steel type combines the best features of D2 steel and stainless steel, resulting in a durable, wear resistant and high-quality steel.
Artisan Cutlery Arroyo handle
The Arroyo comes in different handle materials, including G10 and micarta. G10 is a lightweight, durable and grippy material with a modern look. It's ideal for heavy-duty use. Micarta offers natural aesthetics, a comfortable grip even in wet circumstances and it develops a patina after a while. Both materials are lightweight and versatile, which one you choose depends on personal preference.
Artisan Cutlery Arroyo lock
Current Arroyo models are equipped with a liner lock. You easily open the blade with the flipper. After use, you unlock the blade with ease.
