Artisan Cutlery is an innovative knife manufacturer based in the USA that has stood for high-quality cutting tools with character and precision since its foundation in 2018. Manufacturing takes place at the company's own factory in Yangjiang, China – a center of knife manufacturing with decades of tradition. There, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques such as CNC machining, EDM wire cutting, and laser engraving are combined with the craftsmanship of an experienced team that looks back on over 20 years of industry experience.

Artisan Cutlery's goal is to create knives that are not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically designed. The product range extends from robust EDC knives with G10 handle scales to exclusive collector's items made of titanium and powder metallurgical high-performance steels such as S35VN. At the heart of the brand philosophy is creative collaboration with well-known and up-and-coming US knife makers, whose signature style is clearly recognizable in many designs. Artisan sees itself not only as a manufacturer, but also as a platform for designers and knife enthusiasts alike.

A milestone in the company's development was the introduction of its own steel, AR-RPM9, in 2020. This powder metallurgical steel, specially developed for everyday use, offers an impressive balance of hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance and – particularly noteworthy – exceptional regrindability. AR-RPM9 delivers long-lasting cutting performance even under harsh conditions and can be easily sharpened to razor sharpness even when on the go. For price-conscious customers, the CJRB sub-brand was launched in 2019. Here, uncompromising manufacturing quality meets a particularly attractive price-performance ratio. All CJRB models are manufactured in the same workshops as Artisan Cutlery's premium products and benefit from the same expertise, care, and attention to detail.

Whether as a reliable everyday tool, a stylish collector's item, or a dependable companion for outdoor use, Artisan Cutlery and CJRB stand for modern knives that masterfully combine function, design, and quality.
