The Griffin X Series 1946 Slipjoint Folding Knife from Griffin Co. blends modern premium materials with the enduring appeal of a traditional pocketknife pattern. Designed for those who appreciate refined craftsmanship and practical everyday performance, this slipjoint carries the spirit of classic folders while elevating it with high-end construction and precision machining.
The blade measures 2.79” and is crafted from premium S90V stainless steel with a hand rubbed satin finish that showcases the steel’s clean lines and careful finishing work. S90V is widely respected for its exceptional edge retention and wear resistance, making it a dependable choice for users who expect their blade to stay sharp through extended use. The drop point profile provides excellent versatility for daily cutting tasks, while the traditional nail nick allows for controlled manual opening in classic slipjoint fashion.
The Griffin X Series 1946 operates as a manual slipjoint folder, delivering the familiar walk-and-talk feel collectors and traditional knife users appreciate. Ceramic bearings contribute to the blade’s smooth, controlled action, creating a refined opening and closing experience while maintaining the simple reliability of a non-locking design.
Light stonewash titanium handles give the knife a rugged yet refined appearance while offering excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight. A natural Micarta inlay is fitted into the handle, adding warmth, grip, and subtle texture. Over time, the Micarta develops a unique patina from use and handling, giving each knife a character that becomes truly its own.
Titanium hardware, a titanium pocket clip, and clean precision machining round out the construction. Despite its premium build, the knife remains compact and comfortable for everyday carry, measuring 3.71” closed and weighing 3.4 ounces.
