Artisan Cutlery Tradition V2 Liner Lock Black Folding Knife [1702M-BK]

The Tradition updated around a broad everyday working blade

The Tradition V2 combines a broad drop-point blade with a rounded, straightforward handle. The blade provides both a useful slicing belly and a defined point, while the shaped scales leave room for a full grip behind it.

Thumb-stud opening and the liner-lock release provide separate operating contacts. This is the V2 construction: its blade steel, handle material and hardware should not be substituted from an earlier Tradition release simply because the overall silhouette is familiar.

Opening and lock operation

A spring section inside the handle moves behind the blade when it opens. Moving that liner aside releases the blade for folding, so the release is accessed inside the handle rather than through a separate external button.

Handle construction

G10 combines fiberglass with resin. The composite provides a stable scale structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine the grip’s feel.
