ABW Model 1 V7 Folding Knife G-10 Purple Blanket - Stonewash Magnacut Blade ABWMODEL1G10PURPLEBLANKET

The ABW Model 1 V7 Folding Knife G-10 Purple Blanket Stonewash MagnaCut Blade is a precision-built, American-made folder that blends modern materials, clean machining, and rugged everyday performance. CNC made in a home shop in Weaverville, North Carolina, this knife represents the hands-on craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines American Blade Works.

The Model 1 V7 continues the evolution of ABW’s flagship liner lock platform, now upgraded with dual deployment options including a thumb stud and flipper tab. That added flexibility gives you fast, reliable opening in any grip or carry situation, while maintaining the strong, secure lockup that makes the Model 1 a trusted working knife. It’s built to feel smooth in motion, solid in hand, and dependable when it matters.

At the heart of the knife is a 3.25” blade crafted from premium MagnaCut stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is 3D milled for precision and strength, then heat-treated and cryogenically tempered to maximize durability and performance. A light stonewash finish rounds it out, helping to mask wear while giving the blade a clean, broken-in working look right out of the box.

The action is refined and consistent thanks to ceramic caged bearings paired with a ceramic detent ball, delivering smooth, controlled deployment with every open. The pivot system is machined from hardened 416 stainless steel for long-term durability, while the internal liners are constructed from 17-4 PH stainless steel, providing a rock-solid foundation for the lock and overall structure. A titanium backspacer ties the build together, adding both strength and a clean visual finish.

The handle features a G-10 Purple Blanket pattern, offering a bold, distinctive look while maintaining the grippy, durable texture G-10 is known for. It’s a handle that stands out visually but still performs in real-world conditions where grip and control matter most. A titanium pocket clip completes the package, providing secure, lightweight carry with corrosion resistance built in.

Measuring 4.67” closed with a 3.25” blade, the Model 1 V7 is sized for everyday carry without sacrificing cutting performance. Every component is 100% American made, reflecting a commitment to domestic manufacturing and precision CNC craftsmanship from start to finish.

This is a no-compromise working knife built for users who want premium materials, smooth mechanics, and a design that holds up under daily use while still carrying custom-shop character.
