The Griffin X Series 1946 Slipjoint Folding Knife from Griffin Co. brings together the timeless appeal of a traditional slipjoint with modern materials and precision craftsmanship. Built for everyday reliability while maintaining a refined, classic profile, this knife reflects the careful attention to detail and premium construction Griffin Co. has become known for.
The blade measures 2.79” and is crafted from high-performance S90V stainless steel. Finished with a clean belt satin grind, the blade has crisp lines and a professional working finish that highlights the quality of the steel while minimizing glare during use. S90V is widely respected for its incredible edge retention and wear resistance, making it an excellent choice for a knife designed to handle frequent cutting tasks while holding a keen edge. The versatile drop point blade shape provides excellent control and slicing ability, making it ideal for everyday utility work.
The Griffin X Series 1946 maintains the traditional slipjoint mechanism that knife enthusiasts appreciate for its simplicity and reliability. A classic nail nick allows for controlled manual opening, while ceramic bearings contribute to an exceptionally smooth action that gives the knife a refined and satisfying feel during operation.
Stonewash titanium handles provide a strong and lightweight frame for the knife. Titanium offers outstanding durability and corrosion resistance, while the stonewash finish adds a rugged character that helps hide signs of wear from regular carry. Set into the handle is a black Micarta inlay that enhances grip and adds subtle visual contrast against the titanium frame. Micarta’s textured surface provides a comfortable feel in hand and develops a distinctive patina with use.
Titanium hardware and a titanium pocket clip complete the construction, ensuring long-lasting performance while maintaining a cohesive, premium look. The knife measures 3.71” closed and weighs just 3.4 ounces, making it an easy and dependable everyday carry.
