The Griffin X Series 1946 Slipjoint Folding Knife from Griffin Co. delivers a refined take on the traditional pocketknife, pairing timeless slipjoint mechanics with modern materials built for serious everyday carry. It’s a knife that respects classic design while elevating it with precision machining, premium steel, and rugged yet elegant construction.
At the center of the knife is a 2.79” drop point blade crafted from high-performance S90V stainless steel. Finished in a clean belt satin grind, the blade displays crisp lines and a working finish that highlights the quality of the steel while reducing glare. S90V is prized for its exceptional edge retention and wear resistance, making it an outstanding choice for users who expect their knife to hold a razor edge through repeated cutting tasks. The drop point shape offers excellent control and slicing performance, making it a versatile blade for everyday use.
Opening is handled through a traditional nail nick, maintaining the classic slipjoint operation that many knife enthusiasts appreciate. The action is smooth and precise thanks to ceramic bearings, giving the blade a refined feel during opening and closing while preserving the dependable simplicity of a non-locking folder.
The handle is constructed from light stonewash titanium, offering impressive durability, corrosion resistance, and strength without unnecessary weight. The stonewash finish provides a rugged character while helping hide signs of daily use over time.
Set into the handle is an olive Micarta inlay that adds both visual depth and functional grip. Micarta is well known for its durability and warm feel in hand, and it develops a unique patina as it ages, giving the knife a personalized character the more it’s carried and used.
Titanium hardware, a titanium pocket clip, and precise machining complete the build. Measuring 3.71” closed and weighing 3.4 ounces, the knife rides comfortably in the pocket while offering premium performance whenever it’s called into action.
