Description
The Artisan Cutlery Beest brings bold styling, fast action, and everyday reliability together in a lightweight package that still feels ready for real work. This configuration pairs a durable Aluminum handle with a sleek, hard-wearing Black PVD coated AR-RPM9 blade, giving the knife a modern, tactical presence without adding unnecessary weight.
The 3.65" drop point blade offers versatile performance for slicing, utility tasks, and daily cutting chores. Crafted from Artisan’s proprietary AR-RPM9 powdered metallurgy steel, it provides excellent corrosion resistance, solid toughness, and dependable edge retention at HRC 59–61. The flat grind and 0.13" blade stock strike a great balance between strength and cutting efficiency.
Running on a ceramic ball-bearing pivot, the Beest deploys smoothly and confidently, snapping open with authority. The liner lock delivers secure lockup, while the aluminum handle keeps the overall weight down to just 3.46oz, making this version noticeably more carry-friendly than heavier scale options. A steel pocket clip rounds out a knife built for practical, comfortable everyday use.
Lightweight, sleek, and ready to work—the Beest is a standout option for those who want a dependable folder with modern styling and excellent action.
