Koenig Arius - Long Term Review

My one year review on this already iconic knife that needs no introduction - the Koenig Arius. The particular one I have is a Gen 4, plain titanium (no pattern) and polished chamfers. I don't see a lot of these configs out in the wild but here is one of them!

Thanks for the great review and for giving your honest feedback as an enthusiast and knife fidgeter! I’ve been looking at these for a while but haven’t been able to experience one yet in person.

I’ve had mine for a long time and love it. But everything TJ Schwartz designs has been a complete winner. His overland and overland sport are both economically perfect as well imo.

Great video man, I came over from the Koenig group.

Awesome knife only gripe I have is the pocket clip is a little shallow. Some clothing a little thick for the clip.

I carry my evo3.0 in some of my thicker sweat pants so a full size Arius would be perfect. Lol

I've had mine for about a week. I am late to the game. The only nit pick I have is the clip has a point. The transition from the arch to straight isn't sharp, but it is surprising on a knife like the Arius. I'd take 0.2 points off for that.

Is the lock up sound on the arius loud?

i love mine but just got the Chaves redencion & although very different overall the factory edge is far sharper the Koenig, which surprised me, no doubt the arius could become that sharp. 
The Chaves is actually much thinner behind the edge so guess it makes sense just didn’t expect it considering it looks like a tank!
And the Koenig a Porsche 911!

Hey, how is the pocket clip on the koenig? For me pocket clips can be huge dealbreakers. Whats your opinion?

[eyesintheskies]

Did you polish the edges of the scales?

[eyesintheskies]

Are you related to that x-ring guy who has the gun channel?

Not only is the Shirogorov you traded in worth more than the Arius, it is a better built knife in every way.

controled drop shut of Shiros is superior to the guillotine shut of Koenig and Grismso and it requires better tolerances. you also hear the difference.
