Artia Black G10, Black

Smucky folder EDC project By Grigorii Matveev represents the perfect blend of classic and modern: simple details combine with ergonomics designed for ease of use and portability. Excellent ergonomics of the grip and the ratio of the head to the handle. D2 tool steel, G10 on the handle, a knife that will not disappoint!

High Speed D2 - high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. Thanks to the high content of 13.0% chromium (Cr) offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combination of durability, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. It is characterized by high wear resistance due to the high content of carbides in the microstructure.

PTFE Black - widely used in the coatings industry polytetrafluoroethylene, is an ultra-fine, low molecular weight product processed by a special process. It is characterized by excellent chemical and weather and temperature resistance, thermal stability, non-stickiness, electrical insulation, fire resistance and self-lubrication. Thanks to the use of polytetrafluoroethylene as a blade coating material, friction during use is reduced, thus reducing the need to use force during all kinds of work. Blades covered with PTFE provided by 22% lower average strength and 26% lower maximum force compared to chrome-plated blades.

Head - type drop point with a slender wedge, covered with scratch-masking and anti-glare coating PTFE. The curved cutting edge converges toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. Thickness of the wedge provides high durability while high, flat grinding gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The knife can be opened with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper) when opened acting as a intestine. As a result, it can easily be used by people right and left-handed. On the back of the wedge upper jimping, notched thumb rest. Locking mechanism Liner-Lock.

Handle - facings of G10, practically indestructible plastic insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. Chamfered cover edges eliminate sharp edges and textured surfaces improve grip security. Massive backspacer to which the cladding is attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. Pivot axis decorated with a silver ring. Two-position (right/left) deep carry clip allows knife to be carried in tip-up position tip-up, with the tip of the blade upwards.
