American Blade Works Slip Joint - Black Canvas Micarta - Stonewash MagnaCut Blade

MagnaCut Slipjoint with Micarta Handles

This American Blade Works slipjoint is an exclusive offering built for collectors and everyday carry users who appreciate a traditional, lockless folder with modern materials. It is a slim, lightweight knife designed to disappear in the pocket until needed.

Blade

The 2.5" modified wharncliffe blade is made from MagnaCut steel with a stonewash finish. MagnaCut is a modern powder steel prized for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it one of the most well-rounded steels available today. The wharncliffe profile offers a straight edge with a drop at the tip, giving precise control for detail cutting tasks. The blade rides on phosphor bronze washers for smooth, consistent action.

Handle

The handle scales are black canvas Micarta, a composite made from layers of linen or canvas cloth set in resin. Micarta is valued for its durability and secure grip, even developing more texture with wear over time. At just 1.45oz, this knife carries light and unnoticed.

Carry

This is a slipjoint, meaning the blade is held open by spring tension rather than a locking mechanism, in keeping with traditional pocketknife design. There is no pocket clip, so this knife is meant to be carried loose in the pocket or in a slip, the way classic folders have been carried for generations.

Made in the USA.
