American Blade Works Model 3 - Button Actuated Liner Lock - OD Green & Black Frag G-10 - Stonewash MagnaCut Blade

MagnaCut Button Actuated Liner Lock with G-10 Handles

The American Blade Works Model 3 is a premium folding knife for everyday carry enthusiasts who want modern materials and smooth mechanical action without an automatic mechanism. This button-actuated design offers fast, one-handed deployment while keeping the knife classified as manual.

Blade

The 3.375" modified wharncliffe blade is made from MagnaCut steel with a stonewash finish. MagnaCut is a modern powder steel engineered for excellent edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and high toughness, making it a favorite among premium knife makers. The wharncliffe-style profile offers a straight edge with a strong, controlled tip, well suited for precision cutting tasks.

Handle

The handle uses OD Green and Black Frag G-10, a fiberglass laminate prized for its durability and secure grip texture. The pivot, pivot screw, and push button are machined from hardened 416 stainless steel, and the backspacer is also stainless, adding strength and a refined finish. The knife weighs 4.44oz, light enough for daily carry.

Carry

This knife uses a button actuated liner lock: pressing the button releases internal spring tension to deploy the blade, while a liner lock bar secures it open during use. A titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-hand, tip-up carry only.

Made in the USA.
