ABW Slip Joint Folding Knife Titanium Straight Lines Pattern W/ Purple ANO ABWSLIPTITSTRAIGHTPURPLE

American Blade Works delivers another refined expression of precision and purpose with the ABW Slip Joint Folding Knife, a compact everyday carry built with modern materials and traditional reliability in mind. Designed for those who value clean function over excess, this slip joint brings together American machining, premium steel, and thoughtful detailing in a streamlined package.

The handle is crafted from titanium scales featuring a straight lines pattern that gives the knife a structured, technical look while also improving grip and tactile control. A bold purple anodized finish adds character without overwhelming the design, striking a balance between utility and personality. The entire knife carries a lite stonewash finish across both blade and scales, helping soften wear patterns and giving it a consistent, working-tool appearance that holds up over time.

At the heart of this piece is a 2.25" Wharncliffe blade made from Magnacut stainless steel, a modern premium steel known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade is 3D milled and hollow ground, delivering a precise cutting geometry that excels in controlled slicing tasks and detail work. Heat treatment combined with cryogenic tempering ensures the steel reaches its full performance potential, giving you a blade that’s built for long-term use rather than light duty.

The Wharncliffe profile keeps things practical and direct, with a straight edge that makes clean, predictable cuts whether you’re opening packages, scoring materials, or handling everyday utility tasks. When closed, the knife measures 3.312", making it compact enough for comfortable pocket carry without sacrificing capability when deployed.

Mechanical integrity is just as important as materials here. The pivot and pivot screw are constructed from hardened 416 stainless steel, reinforcing smooth operation and long-term durability. Every component reflects tight American machining standards, ensuring consistent fit and dependable function over time. There’s no unnecessary complication here—just solid engineering focused on reliability and everyday performance.

Every aspect of this knife is 100% American made, from materials to manufacturing. That commitment shows in the fit, finish, and overall feel of the piece. It’s built to be carried, used, and trusted, not just collected.
