American Blade Works Slip Joint 2.25" – Frag Milled Titanium, MagnaCut Stonewash Wharncliffe – Made in USA

MagnaCut Wharncliffe. Titanium scales. Frag milling. North Carolina made.The American Blade Works Slip Joint is a modern take on a traditional format. Michael Martin CNC-machines every component in-house at his Weaverville, North Carolina shop, including the titanium scales, the MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade, and the backspring. The result is a slip joint that carries the precision of a production knife and the intentionality of a custom. The 2.25" hollow ground Wharncliffe blade is heat-treated and cryogenically tempered for maximum edge retention, and the stonewash finish gives it a practical, hard-carry character. Phosphor bronze washers and a 416 stainless pivot deliver smooth, consistent pull strength. This version features the Frag milling pattern on the titanium scales. The fragmentation-style texture creates an aggressive, multi-directional grip surface that maximizes traction on the titanium scales.Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Frag pattern is the most aggressive-looking handle in the ABW Slip Joint lineup. Multi-directional texture, maximum traction, same MagnaCut Wharncliffe and 2.2 oz as the rest of the family. If you want a slip joint that looks as capable as it performs, this is the version.Why This Slip Joint Stands Out 2.25" CPM MagnaCut Wharncliffe Blade, 3D milled hollow ground, heat-treated and cryogenically tempered Frag Milled Titanium Scales, machined in-house at ABW's North Carolina shop Frag Pattern provides the most aggressive grip texture in the ABW Slip Joint lineup Stonewash finish on both blade and scales for a cohesive hard-carry aesthetic Phosphor Bronze Washers and 416 Stainless Pivot Hardware Slip Joint with Half Stop, non-locking and legal everywhere 2.2 oz, one of the lightest MagnaCut pocket knives available Every component except screws and bearings made in-house at ABW Made in the USA (Weaverville, North Carolina) Specifications Brand: American Blade Works Model: Slip Joint Blade Length: 2.25" Closed Length: 3.31" Overall Length: 5.56" Blade Steel: CPM MagnaCut Blade Style: Wharncliffe Blade Grind: 3D Milled Hollow Ground Blade Finish: Stonewash Handle Material: Titanium Pivot: Phosphor Bronze Washers Hardware: 416 Stainless Lock Type: Slip Joint (Non-Locking) Half Stop: Yes Weight: 2.2 oz Warranty: One-Year Limited Country of Origin: Made in USA (Weaverville, North Carolina) Handle Pattern: Frag Why You'll Want ItThe ABW Slip Joint gives you MagnaCut edge retention and titanium construction in a 2.2 oz pocket knife that goes anywhere and cuts through legal restrictions in states where locking knives are regulated.
