ABW Model 2 Linerlock Folding Knife White G-10 Handle Magnacut Blade ABWMODEL2G10WHITE

American Blade Works refines its mid-tech platform with the ABW Model 2 Linerlock Folding Knife White G-10 Handle Magnacut Blade, a clean, modern flipper built for reliable everyday performance and long-term durability. This model combines premium materials, precise machining, and a straightforward design philosophy that keeps function at the center of everything.

The handle is constructed from white G-10 scales, offering a tough, impact-resistant foundation with a crisp, high-contrast appearance. The textured surface provides confident grip without feeling abrasive, making it comfortable for extended use while still maintaining control in wet or demanding conditions. Inside, 17-4 PH stainless steel liners reinforce the structure, delivering strength and rigidity without unnecessary bulk. A titanium backspacer ties the build together, adding stability and a subtle upgrade in material quality, while the titanium pocket clip ensures secure, reliable carry with long-term resistance to wear.

At the heart of the Model 2 is a 3.25" blade made from MagnaCut stainless steel, one of the most advanced blade steels available today. Known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is engineered for real-world performance. The blade features a light stonewash finish that helps conceal wear from daily use while giving it a broken-in, working-tool character. Heat treatment paired with cryogenic tempering ensures the steel reaches optimal performance levels, enhancing both durability and edge stability over time.

The action runs on ceramic caged bearings, delivering smooth, consistent deployment with minimal friction. A ceramic detent ball provides a crisp, controlled break on the flipper, giving the knife a clean, reliable opening every time. The pivot and pivot screw are machined from hardened 416 stainless steel, reinforcing strength and long-term reliability at a key mechanical point in the knife.

A liner lock system secures the blade in place with dependable strength while keeping operation simple and efficient. At 4.55" closed, the Model 2 maintains a balanced, pocket-friendly profile that carries easily without sacrificing usable grip or control when deployed.

Every component of this knife is 100% American made, reflecting a commitment to domestic materials, precision machining, and consistent quality. From the G-10 handle to the MagnaCut blade and titanium hardware, each element is selected for performance and built with purpose.
