Artisan Cutlery Boa Frame Lock Carbon Fiber Folding Knife [1862G-CF]

A contoured grip paired with a broad folding blade

The Boa’s sculpted handle gives the fingers a series of shaped contact surfaces rather than a uniformly flat scale. A broad blade and opening cutout carry that flowing geometry forward into the working portion of the knife.

The frame-lock arrangement provides a direct release along the handle. Carbon-fiber, Micarta and titanium editions differ in both appearance and structure, so the grip treatment is a meaningful part of choosing a Boa.

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

S35VN is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel developed to balance wear resistance with toughness. It gives this blade a useful combination of edge life and resistance to corrosion for everyday cutting.

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.
