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

MagnaCut Wharncliffe. Titanium scales. Diamond 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 diamond milling pattern on the titanium scales. The intersecting cuts create a repeating geometric grip surface with visual depth and positive traction on the titanium scales.Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The diamond pattern gives the ABW Slip Joint one of the most refined-looking handle textures in the lineup. Repeating geometry, positive traction, MagnaCut Wharncliffe, 2.2 oz.
