ARTISANCUTLERY Holm Pocket Knife, EDC Knife with 3.10'' AR-RPM9 Steel, Handle with Black PVD Steel and G10 Inlay, Button Lock with Safety Switch Knife for Camping Survival Outdoor, 1875P Black PVD

I love this knife! It is a beautiful piece of art that you can carry in your pocket. It has a 3-inch Stone Washed Steel Blade with a nice long fuller (1875P AR-RPM9 steel), beautiful Rosewood Inlay Handles over Steel Skeletonized liners for strength. It also has a nice bolster with a button lock action with thumb stud opening that you can lock in the open or closed blade position by using the smaller lock button on the bolster. It came razor sharp out of the box and also came with an attached lanyard and pcket clip for deep carry. All-in-all, a very nicely done knife that is also budget friendly.

The media could not be loaded. A beautifully constructed knife, the dark blade sets off the look. Shipped razor sharp, care will need to be practiced in future sharpening. The knife opens easily by pushing the lock button and flicking the wrist. It might take a little practice, but you'll soon get used to it. Using the small stud to open is as easy as any knife of this type I've ever encountered. Kudos on that. The extra button lock is a delightful addition. Lock it open so that accidentally pushing the main button doesn't let the knife close ... OR ... lock it shut in your pocket. I have no difficulties with pocket opening my knife but if you've ever had that happen, this is the perfect solution. It might also confound someone who happens to use your knife with or without your consent. I find the attached lanyard unnecessary, but others might like it. Firm grip. Style. All in all, a very nice tool to have in one's pocket day to day.

Good deployment, and closing without obnoxious frame lock. Sharp from the box. Too new to determine how the edge will last or be resharpened.

This is one I really looked forward to. I've had really good experiences with Artisan Cutlery/CJRB and this is no exception. It's a very attractive knife with a really nice blade shape. It's almost the perfect EDC size. It's not large or intimidating but it doesn't feel petite or dainty either. The action works with the thumbstuds, the fuller and the button. All the methods are smooth and snappy. It's probably not a hard use knife but I wouldn't hesitate to cut a few zip ties or rope with it either. It looks good enough to be a dress knife but feels sturdier than most blades in that category. AR-RPM9 is a reasonable steel at this price point and, while I'd rather have 14c28n, it's a decent steel. My biggest complaint might be something you'll be ok with. There is an additional button the bolster area that locks blade into position, whether open or closed. The blade won't move while this lock engaged. If it's open, it's locked open... If it's closed, it's locked closed. The lock does seem to work really well but my complaint is it really crowds the bolster area. Button locks are notorious for a weaker lock so I understand the added safety but I'd prefer a less crowded knife. If you like the look, I'd still highly recommend the knife

I’m happy with the knife. The dark ebony wood looks handsome with the rose gold bolsters & liners and the black blade. The scales are very dark, nearly black, and you can hardly see the wood grain. But that’s part of the alure that makes this folding knife ‘tall, dark, and handsome.’ The button lock release button needs to stick up another 1/16th of an inch. As it is, one must consciously depress it extra firmly to make it work. I found myself using the tip of my thumbnail directly to be able to press down far enough to make things work. It’s amazing what a difference of an extra millimeter or two would have made. Opening the blade is fine using the thumb stud. Action is smooth, easy, and sure, and the blade locks into place. Closing the blade requires using the button, and that’s just a hair off, requiring forethought to pressure the button fully into submission. The second locking (closed OR open) button is unneeded, almost irrelevant. But it adds a fun gizmo of something extra to click n’ fidget with. I was about to give the knife 4 stars, but heck, I’ll still give it a 5!

I carry this knife every day and use it all the time. I absolutely love it. So well made. It opens easily with either hand, being a lefty that is a big deal to me as we are frequently kind of left out. The double lock feature is cool but I seldom use it.The blade holds a great edge and came almost scary sharp and we exceedingly easy to take it the rest of the way.Again, great knife.

Very well made knife, extremely sharp, solid construction, quick and smooth operation, looks great, and made with a very nice case and cleaning cloth. Excellent deal!!! 👍

Delightful to use. Very comfortable in my hand.
