ARTISAN Simoon Review – Sleek Bowie Performance in a Modern EDC Package

Welcome back to another deep dive into a brand-new blade. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Artisan Simoon from Artisan Cutlery — a knife that blends bold styling with practical everyday carry functionality.

If you’re in the market for a modern EDC with clean lines, solid materials, and smooth action, this one deserves your attention.

First Impressions & Packaging

Right out of the gate, Artisan Cutlery delivers a clean, professional unboxing experience. The Simoon arrives in a sleek branded box featuring the Artisan logo prominently displayed on the front. The design is modern and minimal, with sharp typography and subtle detailing that gives it a premium feel without being flashy.

Inside the box, you’ll find:

• The Artisan Simoon knife

• A branded microfiber cleaning cloth

• Artisan stickers

• Product information card

It’s a well-rounded presentation that feels thoughtful and complete — exactly what you’d expect from a brand that pays attention to detail.

The Knife: Design & Build

The model we’re reviewing features a green G10 handle, and it looks fantastic. The color has a tactical yet outdoorsy appeal, and the textured G10 provides a confident, secure grip in hand.

Handle & Ergonomics

• Material: Green G10

• Length: 4.5 inches

• Lanyard Hole: No

• Pocket Clip: Yes

• Reversible Clip: Yes

The 4.5-inch handle offers a comfortable, full grip without feeling bulky. The contouring sits naturally in the palm, making it suitable for extended use. While there’s no lanyard hole, the reversible pocket clip makes this knife adaptable for both right- and left-handed users.

Locking Mechanism – Recoil Lock

One of the standout features of the Simoon is its Recoil Lock system. The action feels solid and secure, with reliable lockup and smooth deployment. It gives the knife a modern mechanical feel that adds to the overall experience.

Deployment is quick and satisfying, making it practical for everyday tasks while still being enjoyable to fidget with.

Blade Details

The Simoon sports a bold Bowie-style blade, giving it a classic silhouette with modern execution.

Blade Specs:

• Steel: AR-RPM9

• Length: 3.5 inches

• Finish: Black PVD Coated

• Grind: Flat

• Blade Style: Bowie

• Thumb Studs: Yes

• Jimping: Yes

The AR-RPM9 steel offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance for everyday use. The black PVD coating adds a tactical aesthetic while also providing additional surface protection.

The flat grind makes it versatile for slicing and general cutting tasks, and the thumb studs allow for quick, easy deployment. There’s also well-placed jimping for added control during precision cuts.

Size & Carry Profile

Here’s a quick breakdown of the measurements:

• Handle Length: 4.5 inches

• Blade Length: 3.5 inches

• Overall Length: 8 inches

At 8 inches overall, the Simoon hits a sweet spot for EDC — large enough to handle serious cutting tasks, but compact enough to carry comfortably in your pocket.
