Overview
description
The ArtisanCutlery Predator is a beefy, full-size flipper. The handle is comfortable in the hand, while the oversized choil allows for a comfortable forward grip. The blade is 2.76" and crafted from D2 tool steel. This air-hardened, semi-stainless tool steel is more corrosion resistant than other high carbon steels due to its high chromium content and offers a good mix of toughness, wear resistance, and edge holding ability.
