FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Our custom ordering books are not open at this time. If down the road we are ever again able to facilitate custom orders, we will make sure to let everyone know via social media and other outlets.

We have a list of our authorized dealers on our site. If you are curious about which dealers are receiving orders next, make sure to follow them on their respective social media platforms and sign up for newsletters to stay up to date with all drops. We also occasionally drop knives for sale on our site. The best way to be aware of when that happens is to follow us on social media, as we always notify on there when we will be dropping. Feel free to shoot us an email and I may be able to help point you in the right direction.

We no longer offer front scales. All the handles are now made in pairs and we no longer have singles available for purchase.

We have replacement hardware available on our site. A few of our dealers also carry some of our hardware. If you are curious about the authenticity of hardware ordered from anyone but us, please feel free to ask, as we have had issues with unauthorized hardware stripping out parts.

Gen 1: The Gen 1 Arius is most easily distinguishable by having two lock insert screws. They also have a slightly different blade and flipper tab profile but still similar to the Gen 2. Gen 1’s were never available with lightening lockets. These were not made in house.

Gen 2: The Gen 2 Arius is most easily distinguishable by having one lock insert screw and a hooked-shaped flipper tab and is the first generation made 100% in house. Some Gen 2’s have lightening pockets, but not all.

Gen 3: The Gen 3 Arius is most easily distinguishable by having the new style flipper tab with jimping and still has the Gen 2 style lock arm. The Gen 3 backspacer has pins running through the backspacer to provide extra support and better parallelism. Gen 3 is the first generation to be available with a “flipper delete”. All Gen 3’s are made with M390 and all come with lightening pockets.

Gen 4: The Gen 4 Arius is most easily distinguishable by having the new style flipper tab, a much higher lock face (up near the pivot area), and a swooping, less angular, lock arm cutout. All Gen 4’s are designated as such on the inside of the face scale, which can be viewed from the back through the clip/leaf spring window.

This list is for distinguishing between the models and is nowhere near a complete list of changes throughout generations. This list should be used as a reference guide for those curious about which generation you are looking at. If you have any questions regarding the differences between generations, please feel free to email our customer support at [email protected].
