Artisan Cutlery Revel Frame Lock S90V Folding Knife [1867G-BU]

Ray Laconico’s clean-lined folding design

The Revel favors a simple, flowing blade-and-handle outline over decorative cutouts or an elaborate external frame. Its curved grip and useful cutting belly give Ray Laconico’s design a restrained everyday-carry character.

Artisan has offered different handle materials, blade steels and release configurations in this family. The S90V premium version and AR-RPM9 button-operated versions are distinct configurations; the actual mechanism and materials on this page identify the knife.

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.
