Elishewitz Custom Knives MAC V SOG Folder -Burl G-10 - Titanium Spacer - Matte S45VN Blade - #2

S45VN Axis Lock with Burl G-10 Handles

The MACVSOG Axis Lock Folder is Allen Elishewitz’s folding interpretation of the historic MACV-SOG fixed blade, translating its recognizable design into a completely handmade folding platform. Even the Axis-style locking mechanism is built by Allen himself, including the internal plate and individual components. Every Elishewitz custom is made by Allen himself in his shop using manual machines—no CNC. From machining and fitting to the smallest details, each knife is built with an emphasis on tight tolerances, premium materials, and true hands-on craftsmanship.

Blade

The 3.5" clip point blade is made from S45VN steel at .150" thick with a matte finish. S45VN is a premium powder metallurgy steel that delivers strong edge retention, good toughness, and solid corrosion resistance, making it well-suited to hard use and long-term ownership. The clip point profile offers a fine, controllable tip alongside a strong cutting edge.

Handle

Burl G-10 scales give the handle a distinctive look while keeping weight low at just 3.46 ounces. G-10 is a fiberglass laminate that resists moisture and wear, and the burl pattern adds unique visual depth to each knife. A titanium spacer rounds out the build with another premium custom touch.

Carry

This knife uses an Axis-style lock, a spring-loaded bar that locks the blade open and can be disengaged with the thumb from either side, allowing smooth one-handed opening and closing for right- or left-handed users. The reversible pocket clip is configured for tip-up carry on either side.

Handcrafted in the USA.
