Artisan Cutlery Boa Frame Lock Blue Timascus Folding Knife [1862G-TDB]

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

S90V is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel with a high volume of hard vanadium carbides. Its emphasis is wear resistance and long edge life, so it rewards regular edge maintenance rather than waiting until the blade is fully dull.

Supplied equipment

Black nylon zippered storage case.
