Griffin 1946 Stonewash Brass 2.79in Plain Belt Satin Drop Point GRIFF1946BSLSWSWB

The Griffin 1946 Stonewash Brass offers a striking blend of vintage-inspired style and modern performance, bringing a fresh perspective to the traditional slip joint design. Designed by Keith Griffin and manufactured by Bestech, this knife showcases clean lines, premium materials, and a refined build that’s made to stand out while delivering reliable everyday performance.

The 2.79" drop point blade is crafted from CPM S90V stainless steel, a high-end steel known for exceptional edge retention and impressive corrosion resistance. Finished with a smooth belt satin treatment, the blade has a crisp, polished look that enhances both its visual appeal and cutting efficiency. At 0.12" thick, it provides a precise balance of strength and slicing capability, making it well-suited for a wide range of daily cutting tasks.

With an overall length of 6.5", the Griffin 1946 remains compact and easy to carry without sacrificing functionality. The 3.71" handle is constructed from brass-colored titanium with a rugged stonewash finish, giving it the warm, classic appearance of brass while maintaining the lightweight strength and durability of titanium. This unique combination delivers eye-catching style without the added weight typically associated with solid brass construction. Weighing 3.4 ounces, it feels solid in hand while remaining comfortable for all-day carry.

Built as a slip joint, this knife offers a traditional non-locking mechanism that’s simple, dependable, and suitable for a variety of environments. The manual nail nick opening keeps the operation classic and controlled, while the ceramic bearing pivot system introduces a modern level of smoothness that elevates the overall experience. The result is a knife that feels both familiar and refined, blending heritage function with contemporary engineering.

Every component reflects attention to detail. Titanium hardware with T8 fasteners ensures durability and long-term reliability, while maintaining a clean, cohesive aesthetic throughout the build. The milled titanium pocket clip is configured for tip-up carry, offering secure retention and a streamlined profile that keeps the knife discreet in your pocket. Designed to accommodate both right- and left-handed users, it delivers versatility without compromise.

The Griffin 1946 Stonewash Brass stands out as a unique interpretation of a classic pattern, combining the timeless look of brass with the performance advantages of modern materials. Its compact size, premium steel, and smooth action make it a dependable companion for daily use while also appealing to collectors who appreciate thoughtful design and standout finishes.
