The ABW Model 1 V7 Folding Knife G-10 Murica Blanket Stonewash MagnaCut Blade is a hard-use, American-made folder built with precision machining, premium materials, and a no-nonsense approach to everyday performance. CNC made in a home shop in Weaverville, North Carolina, this knife reflects American Blade Works’ commitment to producing high-quality, functional tools without compromise.
The Model 1 platform has long been a staple of ABW’s lineup, and the V7 refinement takes it further with upgraded ergonomics, improved deployment options, and a dialed-in mechanical feel. This liner lock design now features both a thumb stud and a flipper tab, giving you multiple ways to open the blade quickly and confidently depending on your preference or carry style. It’s built to be intuitive, fast, and reliable under real-world use.
At the center of the knife is a 3.25” blade crafted from premium MagnaCut stainless steel, one of the most advanced modern blade steels available. Known for its outstanding combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is built for users who demand long-term performance without constant maintenance. The blade is 3D milled, then heat-treated and cryogenically tempered to maximize its structural integrity. A light stonewash finish completes the blade, helping reduce the appearance of wear while maintaining a clean, utilitarian look.
The action is smooth and controlled thanks to ceramic caged bearings paired with a ceramic detent ball, delivering consistent deployment with a refined mechanical feel. The pivot and pivot screw are machined from hardened 416 stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability in a critical wear area. Internally, 17-4 PH stainless steel liners provide strength and rigidity, while a titanium backspacer adds structure and balance to the overall build.
The handle features a bold G-10 Murica Blanket pattern, giving the knife a patriotic visual identity while still providing the grippy, dependable texture G-10 is known for. A titanium pocket clip rounds out the build, offering secure, low-profile carry with lightweight strength and corrosion resistance.
At 4.67” closed with a 3.25” blade, the Model 1 V7 carries comfortably while still delivering full-size cutting capability when deployed. Every component in this knife is 100% American made, reflecting a dedication to domestic craftsmanship and precision manufacturing.
This is a working knife built for users who appreciate clean engineering, premium steel, and rugged dependability wrapped in a distinctly American design.
