American Blade Works Model 3 - Button Actuated Liner Lock - Gray Frag G-10 - Stonewash MagnaCut Blade

MagnaCut Button Actuated Liner Lock with G-10 Handles

The American Blade Works Model 3 pairs a modern push-button deployment system with a traditional liner lock for secure, one-handed operation. This is a manual folder built for users who want premium materials and smooth action in an everyday carry knife.

Blade

The 3.375" modified wharncliffe blade is made from MagnaCut steel with a stonewash finish. MagnaCut is a modern powder steel engineered to balance high edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and good toughness, making it well-suited for hard daily use without constant maintenance. The wharncliffe-style profile offers a straight edge with a controlled tip, ideal for precise cutting tasks.

Handle

Gray frag-pattern G-10 scales cover the handle. G-10 is a fiberglass laminate prized for being lightweight, stiff, and highly resistant to moisture. The pivot, pivot screw, and push button are machined from hardened 416 stainless steel, and the backspacer is stainless as well. At 4.44oz, the knife carries substantial but not heavy.

Carry

This knife uses a button actuated liner lock. Pressing the button retracts a spring-loaded liner so the blade can swing open, and the liner locks back into place behind the blade to hold it secure during use - this is a manual action, not an automatic opener. A titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-hand, tip-up carry only.

Made in the USA.
