ABW Model 1 V7 Folding Knife G-10 Mexican Blanket - Stonewash Magnacut Bld ABWMODEL1G10MEXBLANKET

The ABW Model 1 V7 Folding Knife G-10 Mexican Blanket Stonewash Magnacut Blade represents the next evolution of American Blade Works craftsmanship, built with precision, pride, and no shortcuts. CNC made in a home shop in Weaverville, North Carolina, this is a true American-made folder designed for users who expect performance, durability, and clean mechanical execution in every detail.

American Blade Works is known for producing high-quality knives with a hands-on approach, and the Model 1 V7 continues that tradition with refined upgrades and proven materials. The V7 introduces a dual-opening system featuring both a thumb stud and flipper tab, giving you fast, confident deployment no matter how you carry or use it. It’s built around a liner lock design that’s tuned for reliability and smooth operation under real-world conditions.

At the core of this knife is a 3.25” blade crafted from premium MagnaCut stainless steel. Known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is one of the most advanced blade steels available today. The blade is 3D milled, heat-treated, and cryogenically tempered for maximum performance, then finished in a light stonewash that helps hide wear while maintaining a clean, functional look.

Smooth operation is driven by ceramic caged bearings paired with a ceramic detent ball, delivering crisp deployment and consistent action. The pivot system is built from hardened 416 stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability where it matters most. The liners are constructed from 17-4 PH stainless steel, paired with a titanium backspacer that adds both strength and refined structure to the overall build.

The handle features a bold G-10 Mexican Blanket pattern, giving the knife a standout visual identity while maintaining the rugged grip and durability G-10 is known for. A titanium pocket clip completes the package, offering secure carry with lightweight strength and corrosion resistance.

At 4.67” closed, the Model 1 V7 carries comfortably in pocket while still delivering a full-sized cutting experience when deployed. Every component is 100% American made, reflecting a commitment to domestic manufacturing and precision machining that defines American Blade Works.

This is a working knife built with custom-shop attention to detail, designed for users who appreciate mechanical refinement, premium steel, and a design that doesn’t compromise.
