American Blade Works Slip Joint - Diamond Milled Titanium Handle - Stonewashed Wharncliffe MagnaCut Blade

MagnaCut Slipjoint with Diamond Milled Titanium

The diamond milled variant is the American Blade Works slipjoint with the most traditional soul, a machined titanium echo of the checkered and jigged handles that defined a century of pocket knives, executed with modern tooling and a modern super steel. For how the whole family cuts and carries, our full American Blade Works slip joint review has the long answer.

Blade

The 2.25 inch hollow-ground wharncliffe is cut from CPM MagnaCut and stonewashed to a working finish. The profile pairs a dead-straight cutting edge with genuine tip strength, so it excels at the controlled slicing a pocket knife actually does, tape, cordage, envelopes, food at a tailgate, without a delicate point to baby. MagnaCut is the American-made steel that rewrote the spec sheet, stainless that holds an edge like a carbon steel and takes impact like neither.

Slipjoint Action

The blade is held open by spring tension with a half-stop at 90 degrees, the old-school detail that tells you the backspring was tuned by someone who cares. The half-stop parks the blade safely upright during opening and closing instead of letting it snap through your fingers, and phosphor bronze washers keep the travel smooth through every cycle. No lock also means this is the knife that clears pockets, jurisdictions, and office norms your locking folders can't.

Handle

Diamond milled titanium scales give the grip a fine, even bite in hand, texture that indexes without abrading, over a material with the best strength-to-weight ratio in the case. At 2.36 ounces, it carries lighter than most traditional folders half as well built.

Carry

True to the pattern, there's no pocket clip; at 3.312 inches closed it lives loose in a pocket, or better, in the Lancelot Leather clip slip, the leather pocket sheath with a clip made to hold this knife. Knife and materials are 100% American made.
