The Doc Shiffer Field Grade Recon Framelock Folding Knife in Natural Gray Titanium is a purpose-built tool designed for serious performance and everyday reliability. Precision-engineered by renowned custom knifemaker Doc Shiffer, this knife blends elite materials, clean aesthetics, and hard-use durability into a streamlined package. Proudly made in the USA with 100% US-sourced materials, it’s a blade that stands out for its rugged functionality and refined craftsmanship.
At the heart of this compact powerhouse is a 3-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM-MagnaCut stainless tool steel, widely recognized as one of the most innovative steels in the industry. Formulated to eliminate chromium carbide during heat treatment, MagnaCut delivers an unmatched combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Whether you're breaking down boxes, slicing cordage, or handling backcountry tasks, this blade is built to take abuse without chipping or dulling out.
The stonewash finish on the blade helps mask wear while adding a clean, utilitarian look that suits its function-first design. It opens smoothly via a blade flipper or thumb hole, riding on a precision-tuned ball bearing pivot for fast, fluid deployment. Lockup is handled by a solid framelock mechanism, ensuring secure blade engagement under load and a confident feel in the hand.
The handles are slab-cut natural gray titanium, anodized to a soft, matte tone that reflects the tool's work-ready nature. This titanium frame offers outstanding strength while keeping the overall weight down to just 3.39 ounces. It’s contoured for comfort, chamfered for clean grip lines, and matched with a low-profile titanium pocket clip for right-side, tip-up carry. Every angle of this knife is built for practical utility, yet it carries the quiet confidence of custom-level craftsmanship.
Measuring 4 inches closed and 7 inches overall, the Field Grade Recon is compact enough for pocket duty yet robust enough to trust in any environment. Whether you're a first responder, outdoorsman, or knife enthusiast, this American-made blade is engineered to keep up. Order it today from SMKW!
