The Griffin X Series 1946 Slipjoint Folding Knife from Griffin Co. blends classic pocketknife tradition with modern materials and precision craftsmanship. It’s a refined everyday carry built for those who appreciate the simplicity of a slipjoint paired with high-performance steel and premium handle construction.
The blade measures 2.79” and is crafted from S90V stainless steel, a premium steel widely respected for its outstanding edge retention and wear resistance. Finished with a clean belt satin grind, the blade displays crisp machining and a professional working finish that complements the knife’s high-end build. The drop point profile provides excellent versatility with a strong tip and a generous cutting edge, making it well suited for everyday cutting tasks. A traditional nail nick allows for smooth, controlled manual opening.
The Griffin X Series 1946 uses a classic slipjoint mechanism that offers dependable function and the familiar walk-and-talk feel knife enthusiasts value. Ceramic bearings contribute to a remarkably smooth action, allowing the blade to open and close with controlled precision while maintaining the straightforward reliability of a non-locking folder.
The handle is constructed from light stonewash titanium, delivering impressive strength, corrosion resistance, and a lightweight feel that’s ideal for daily carry. The stonewashed finish adds rugged character while helping to conceal signs of wear from regular use.
A marbled carbon fiber inlay is set into the titanium handle, providing striking visual contrast and a touch of modern styling. The swirling carbon fiber pattern gives each knife a unique appearance while keeping the overall weight low and maintaining a secure, comfortable grip.
Titanium hardware and a titanium pocket clip complete the construction, ensuring durability while maintaining a cohesive premium look. Measuring 3.71” closed and weighing 3.4 ounces, the knife carries easily while offering excellent cutting capability when needed.
