ABW Model 3 Manual Button Lock Folder Blue G-10 Magnacut Blade ABWMODEL3G10BLUE

The Model 3 platform is centered around a manual button lock system that delivers smooth, controlled operation with a strong, secure lockup. It’s designed for fast, confident one-handed deployment while maintaining a simple, reliable mechanical feel. The action is tuned for consistency, giving you a knife that performs predictably whether you’re on the job, outdoors, or handling everyday cutting tasks.

At the core of this folder is a 3.3” blade crafted from premium MagnaCut stainless steel. Known for its elite balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is built for serious use in demanding environments. It holds an edge longer, resists wear, and stands up to real-world abuse without requiring constant maintenance, making it an ideal steel for a true everyday carry knife.

The knife measures 7.8” overall and carries at 4.5” closed, giving it a full-size cutting presence while still remaining compact enough for comfortable pocket carry. At just 3.8 ounces, it delivers an excellent balance of lightweight comfort and solid in-hand control, making it easy to carry all day without noticing it until you need it.

The handle is built from blue G-10, giving the Model 3 a bold yet functional aesthetic. The vibrant blue finish stands out visually while still maintaining a clean, professional look. G-10 is known for its durability, stability, and resistance to moisture and wear, and the textured surface provides a secure grip in all conditions, whether wet, dry, or under heavy use.

Every component in this knife is 100% American made, reflecting the pride and precision behind American Blade Works. From CNC machining in Weaverville, NC to final assembly, the Model 3 is built with a focus on consistency, durability, and long-term reliability.

This is a no-nonsense working folder designed for users who want premium materials, smooth mechanical function, and a clean, purposeful design they can trust every day.
