Overview
Description
The ArtisanCutlery Predator is a beefy, full-size flipper. The handle is comfortable in the hand, while the oversized choil allows for a comfortable forward grip. The blade is 2.76" and crafted from D2 tool steel. This air-hardened, semi-stainless tool steel is more corrosion resistant than other high carbon steels due to its high chromium content and offers a good mix of toughness, wear resistance, and edge holding ability. The handles are made from textured black G10 scales over stainless steel liners and include a stainless steel pocket clip set up for right or left-hand tip-up carry. It also features a Phillips head bit at the end of the handle for added versatility.
