The Artisan Cutlery Hyperion ATZ-1834G is a large clip-point folder with an S35VN blade and a full titanium frame lock. With a four-inch cutting edge, it is one of the biggest knives in the Artisan lineup — and one of the lightest for its size at 4.9 ounces. This review covers the verified specifications, the blade geometry, and where this model fits.
The Hyperion's clip point blade balances a thin piercing tip with a slicing belly.

The Four-Inch Clip Point Blade
The Hyperion carries a clip point blade — a classic profile with a concave clip on the spine that thins the tip for piercing while keeping the belly for slicing. It is one of the most versatile blade shapes in the catalog: strong enough for heavy cutting, pointed enough for detail work, and recognizable enough to feel timeless.
At 0.11 inches thick with a flat grind, the Hyperion is a slicey cutter rather than a pry bar. The S35VN steel at HRC 59-61 offers a balanced blend of edge retention, toughness, and easy sharpening, and the satin finish keeps maintenance straightforward.
Titanium Frame Lock with Ceramic Bearings
The handle is full titanium with a matching titanium clip, and the lock is a frame lock. The ceramic ball bearing pivot delivers a smooth, fluid opening stroke. For a nine-inch knife, the Hyperion is surprisingly light at 140 grams — the titanium build keeps it pocket-friendly despite its length.
One note for buyers: at a four-inch blade, the Hyperion is over the legal carry limit in some jurisdictions. Check local blade-length rules before carrying it daily.

Who Is the Hyperion For?
The Hyperion suits carriers who want a full-size cutting tool without the usual full-size weight. Its clip-point versatility makes it a genuine all-rounder — box duty, food, rope, and detail cuts all fall within its range — and the titanium frame lock construction puts it firmly in the premium tier of the Artisan lineup.
