SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Griffin X Series 1946 Slipjoint Folding Knife from Griffin Co. delivers a modern take on a time-tested pocketknife pattern, combining traditional slipjoint simplicity with premium materials and precision machining. Designed for dependable everyday carry, it balances classic styling with rugged performance.
The blade measures 2.79” and is crafted from high-performance S90V stainless steel. Finished with a clean belt satin grind, the blade has a crisp, refined appearance that highlights the quality of the steel while providing a practical working finish. S90V is known for its exceptional edge retention and impressive wear resistance, making it an excellent choice for a knife built to handle regular cutting tasks without frequent sharpening. The drop point blade profile offers outstanding versatility with a strong tip and a long, efficient cutting edge. A traditional nail nick provides smooth manual opening in classic slipjoint fashion.
The Griffin X Series 1946 uses a traditional slipjoint mechanism that provides the familiar walk-and-talk action knife enthusiasts appreciate. Ceramic bearings enhance the smoothness of the blade’s movement, giving the knife a refined opening and closing feel while maintaining the reliable simplicity of a non-locking design.
The handle is built from durable stonewash titanium, offering impressive strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight performance. The stonewash finish adds a rugged character and helps hide signs of wear that naturally come with everyday carry.
Adding a distinctive visual element, the handle features a stonewash brass inlay set into the titanium frame. The brass brings warmth and contrast to the knife’s industrial titanium construction while maintaining excellent durability. Over time, the brass will develop a natural patina that adds character and individuality to the knife with continued use.
Titanium hardware and a titanium pocket clip complete the build, ensuring long-lasting reliability while maintaining a cohesive premium design. The knife measures 3.71” closed and weighs 3.4 ounces, making it compact, comfortable, and ready for daily carry.
