IO — A short sheepsfoot in a compact metal frame

The IO combines a short sheepsfoot working edge with a relatively compact titanium handle. The lowered point gives it a utility-oriented outline, with less blade reach and carrying length than Artisan’s larger sheepsfoot and Wharncliffe designs.

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.

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.
