Artisan Cutlery Tradition Liner Lock D2 Green Folding Knife [1702P-BGN]

A straightforward folding format with a full working grip

The Tradition pairs a conventional utility blade with a handle shaped for a substantial grip. Its profile gives the user both cutting belly and a usable point without making the knife a specialized narrow or hooked pattern.

The liner lock holds the blade open until its internal release is moved aside. Different handle and steel versions have been sold under the Tradition name; this earlier line should also be distinguished from the separate V2 update.

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.

Steel and maintenance

Clean and dry the blade after use, especially after contact with moisture or food. A suitable light protective oil helps protect exposed steel during storage; a blade coating does not cover the sharpened edge.

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.
