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

MagnaCut Slipjoint with Micarta Handles

This American Blade Works slip joint is an exclusive build pairing premium steel with a classic non-locking mechanism, suited to collectors and EDC users who favor traditional knives over modern lock formats. It is a compact, lightweight gentleman's folder designed for everyday carry.

Blade

The 2.5" blade is a modified wharncliffe shape made from MagnaCut steel, finished with a stonewash coating. MagnaCut is a modern powder steel engineered for excellent edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and good toughness, making it well suited to daily cutting tasks. The blade rides on phosphor bronze washers for smooth, consistent action.

Handle

The handle is made from red canvas Micarta, a composite material formed from layers of linen or canvas cloth set in resin. Micarta is durable, lightweight, and develops a unique patina with use. At just 1.45oz, this knife carries with almost no noticeable weight in the pocket.

Carry

This knife uses a slipjoint mechanism rather than a locking blade, relying on spring tension to hold the blade open or closed, a traditional design with a long history in pocket knives. There is no pocket clip, so it is intended to be carried loose in the pocket, as is customary with classic slip joint knives.

Made in the USA.
