Elishewitz Custom Knives MAC V SOG Folder -Burl G-10 - Titanium Spacer - Matte S45VN Blade - #3

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 a reliable choice for hard daily use. The clip point profile adds a fine, controllable tip for detail work while keeping a full cutting edge.

Handle

Burl G-10 handle scales pair a fiberglass laminate base material with a swirled, wood-like burl pattern for a distinctive look on every knife. A titanium spacer adds a further custom touch to the construction. Despite the premium materials, the knife weighs just 3.46 ounces.

Carry

This knife runs an Axis-style lock, which uses a spring-loaded bar to secure the blade open while allowing smooth, ambidextrous one-hand opening and closing. The reversible pocket clip can be set up for right- or left-hand tip-up carry.
