Artisan Cutlery Orthodox Frame Lock Blue M390 Folding Knife [1817G-BUM]

Orthodox — A long metal grip around an extended working blade

The original Orthodox puts its cutting blade in a long titanium frame. Its substantial closed dimensions distinguish this format from the shorter Orthodox V2, with the rear tab providing opening purchase near the pivot.

Opening and lock operation

Part of the metal handle itself forms the locking bar. It moves behind the open blade and is pushed aside to release it, giving the mechanism a direct, exposed interface along the handle.

Steel and maintenance

M390 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel with high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. Its appeal is an edge that resists abrasive wear during repeated cutting; regular light maintenance helps avoid a more demanding full resharpening.

Handle construction

Titanium provides a corrosion-resistant metal structure. Anodizing and surface machining change its appearance and contact texture; they are different treatments from adding a separate grip scale or inlay.

Supplied equipment

Black nylon zippered storage case.
