Made from the best of the best, the Artisan Cutlery Archaeo is all business. Aesthetically speaking, it looks like something you could take out at a dinner banquet and no one would bat an eye Read More
"...it looks like something you could take out at a dinner banquet and no one would bat an eye."
Yeah, not likely. One summer I was using a field knife (only knife I had at the time) to cook dinner with in a dorm kitchen and the floor resident assistant acted like I was about to commit mass murder. And that was over 20 years ago before mass murder became an everyday thing. What I was supposed to cut my food with? A butter knife?
If this is a gentleman's knife, gentlemen must have tiny hands. Ever since I have gotten the Falcon and the Dao (I really love this knife, despite a number of things that I don't like about it including the skinny handle), I have become very sensitive to scrawny handles. This looks like it qualifies. With a fatter handle, I just might bite.
14themoneyI often think of that as one of the attributes of a "gentleman's knife".
Looking back historically, those knives tend to be long and slender. Easily slipped into your suit pants or jacket without being obvious and heavy, classy enough to pull out at the table, long enough to be formidable if needed... But at the same time, delicate enough to show that you aren't "working class" in need of a workhorse of a blade.
Thinking things like Le Thiers, Laguiole, Texas Toothpicks, Navajas if you're in Spain, etc
I'm sorry, I'm in on the grey.
I don't see any downsides, incredible piece for the price.
It's sleek, it's clean (no pocket clip or carbon fiber screws showing)
It's going to take up little to no real estate in my pocket, and there's no abrasive scales to tear up my trousers.
I'm all in on this one!!!
You're all crazy. I don't care what it's made out of or who made it--none of these things are worth half what you're all paying for 'em--and that's before you consider the damn QC issues!
Needs a much shorter version with a plain titanium option without the carbon fiber inlay. Don't get why a knife with such a sleek gent's knife profile is so huge. The carbon fiber and extra machining for the inlay just add unnecessary costs. There's a real winner in here somewhere. This iteration just ain't it for people like me.
Hey how is the quality control of the knives people have received? I can’t get my blade centered (I think there is something wrong with the area the bearings go in as it is uneven at the pivot as well) and the blade grinds don’t match on mine. Is mine an outlier? I don’t have any experience with other artisan knives.
Your a idiot if you think it looks like a Nazi swastika, and to be honest i wouldn't care if it had a swastika on it that symbol was stolen from my people by the natzis it was a thunderbird symbol and was painted on to the sides of lodges and peace pipes used by our ancestors
