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.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
