Artisan Cutlery, Small Centauri Front Flipper, by Ray Laconico
Published: 2 years ago
*from KnifeCenter.com:
The Small Centauri front flipper, designed by Ray Laconico, is a simple yet highly versatile design that really gets a lot of things right. It reminds us of the Jens Anso Solo design with its similar overall profile and clean lines offering surprisingly sophisticated ergonomics. You can really bear down on this knife hard and it will remain comfortable for an extended period of time, under a number of different grips. The drop point blade has a very sharp tip for stabbing and puncturing and a small amount of belly for slicing. The thin handle makes it easy to carry while the jimped thumb ramp and hidden lanyard post add to its usability. It's a nice combination of everything that makes for a good EDC blade and we look forward to more collaborations with Ray coming down the line. This iteration of the Centauri is a KnifeCenter Exclusive and comes with a CPM-S35VN blade, black/orange G10 handles, and a liner lock mechanism.
