ARTISAN Pen Knife

As I learn to cut patterns, I struggle to get a clean cut. Worked my way thru 7 pattern knives, sharpy types wobbled and seemed too puny, so I tried various thick blades and they never held an edge.
Enter Artisan and this Pen Knife. I was able to choose my bevel side, blade and wood. SWEET !
The blade is thick, no wobble and is holding it's very sharp edge, so I just hit a strop and knock out my curves. Which are more symmetrical each day. Being a Newbie I need that flat knife edge against a rulers flat edge sometimes. Plus I need this Pen Knife. As soon as possible I ordered a second one.
I got the B- right bevel with Cocobolo and the C- right bevel with Rosewood.

Love the pen knife it’s like a better, more durable exacto knife.

Nice knife feels good in the hand,Sharp blades, quality made.

The blade doesn’t keep sharp and the tip of the blade broke very easily. An exacto knife or craft knife is multiple times better and can be held and used very easily. It meets two stars however because of the nice look and cutting it still manages to do.

I absolutely love it. This thing is a game changer.

Bladea are sharp but not super sharp. They need a bit of work to get them to be super sharp like i like them. The handlea are really comfortable.

Help me get better cuts

The knife feels durable without very little play, but I really wish the blades came a little sharper out of the box.

I ordered some items, and they were dispatched straight away. When they arrived, they were of good quality. Can recommend.

High quality, very sharp.

Great purchase

Fit and finish on the handle was very good with one exception. There were bits of brass where they had tapped for the screws, which had to be sanded off before they cut the user. The blade was merely okay. It looks to be holding an edge but was pretty rough out of the box. Not bad for the price, but I'd rather had paid a bit more for a bit more attention.

Great blade. Extremely sharp and cuts smoothly. Easy to maintain

Great blade. Extremely sharp and easy to maintain

Great knife. Love the way it feels in the hand

I actually really like this pen knife but I’m giving the it 4 stars because of the packaging of the blade. Unfortunately, the very tip of the blade was bent due to being forced into the plastic protector.

I love this Pen Knife, It is very sharp, making cutting the leather like butter.

Great feel in my hand when using it to make intricate cuts. Recommend it to anyone

Beautiful and the best knife I have found for leather so far!

I bought 2 pen knives. One curved blade and one straight blade. With 2 different wood handles.
They were extremely sharp, right out of the box. And the handles are beautiful too.
I have now purchased several items from Artisan and have never been disappointed.
I feel that I get great value for my money, comparing the quality of the products to the moderate, affordable prices.

The quality on this item is awesome. It has a great weight and cuts beautifully right out the box.

Adam from Country Cow Designs suggested this knife for me. It's a strong knife that fits my hand well, doesn't roll, and I can get a precise, clean edge when cutting leather for my bags! The blade stays tight the handle & does not wobble - ever! Sick of wimpy craft knives? You'll love this Artisan Pen Knife!

I haven’t recieved this shipment yet

I like the feel… it’s a hefty blade. Cuts well! Glade I purchased it.

ARTISAN Pen Knife

I recently bought 2 knives complete with two blades. What can I say? These knives can cut.
I am right handed and ordered the « left » blades because I learn to cut like japanese cut: « bevel to the leather ». So keep that in mind when you select your blades. If you like to cut with the straight edge to the leather you can order as it says on the website.
I highly recommend

A safety cover is needed for the knife to fit over all blades when mounted in the handle.

I am very impressed with this knife. The blade shank is thick and there is NO wobble. The blade is ground to a very sharp edge right out of the package. It is comfortable in the hand and the square handle does keep it from rolling off the bench. I got the curved blade. I love it!

**UPDATE; I still love this knife but it is a single bevel and I am not great at getting a straight angle. I think this is left handed and I am right handed. I would prefer it if when I put it against the straight edge, the flat side contacts the straight edge but on this one the sharp side is on the left, creating an undercut.
