AR-RPM9 is a new steel developed by Artisan Cutlery. It was created to meet the needs of everyday pocket knife users. This steel has outstanding resistance to corrosion, superior retention of sharpness, and is simple to maintain. Compared to other steels, AR-RPM9 stands out.
DESIGNED BY DIRK PINKERTON: Dirk Pinkerton has always been able to take a simple design and make it into an ergonomic masterpiece. His designs feature clean lines and dramatic shapes that straddle the line between practical and tactical, but once you hold one of them in hand, it’s all business.
SMOOTH RELIABLE ACTION ON BEARINGS: We outfitted this pocket knife with a set of high-quality ceramic ball bearings to ensure lightning-fast deployment in any situation. The flipper tab is positioned perfectly for easy access in any hand.
THIN AND LIGHTWEIGHT SLICER: The Arroyo has been trimmed down in order to make it the best cutting tool possible without adding extra bulk or weight in the pocket. At the same time, it features a set of ultralight G10 scales that have been carefully milled to reduce weight without sacrificing grip.
COMFORTABLE AND RELIABLE LINER LOCK: The Arroyo is outfitted with a sturdy full-length liner lock that will ensure this folding knife locks open securely and stays that way until you need to stash it back in your pocket.
