3.7mm blade stock seems awful thick for a knife that size. The SBD Micro Evo is a similar style knife with a slightly longer blade, but uses 0.123" (3.1mm) blade stock.
 
I like it but wish it was smaller, OAL only 3/4" shorter than a regular Arius
 
I don't own a Koenig, but a Mini Arius might be the first for me. I prefer thinner blade stock for a sub-3" knife. Can anyone confirm if the Arius is hollow or flat ground? I think the full size is flat, but hollow on the Mini might fix everything for me.

Also, it does look a little "pocket fat", but that can only be determined in the real world.

The full sized Arius has a hollow grind, comes down very thin behind the edge. Looks like this one will be hollow ground as well, which should make for excellent cutting geometry as well, despite the thicker stock.
 
I still need to try the regular arius. But maybe the shiro neonzero with scratch the itch for a little while. unlikely but possible.

The Arius gen4 is it's own thing IMHO. My Shiro F95NL feels heavier in hand, but is 0.1oz lighter on scale. Both are well balanced, but feel very different in hand. This was before the Skiff bearings were installed on the Arius. My Shiro Neon NL does scratch a certain itch though.

so you’re saying I have to buy an Arius? I need to give my wife something, even if it’s just “dogdrawz says I’ve got to get the Arius. And he knows cause he has a neon already”.

Thus if that is the sword I must fall on...so it is written, so shall it be done. ;):thumbsup:
 
Looks like they posted something on their Instagram a day or two ago, not sure what was it but looked like some cnc machine thing! Maybe related or maybe not but looks like some production is happening

I’m looking forward to getting more updates on this knife!
