The Griffin X Series 1946 Slipjoint Folding Knife from Griffin Co. captures the spirit of a traditional pocketknife while elevating the design with premium materials and modern precision. Built for dependable everyday carry, this knife blends classic slipjoint simplicity with the kind of high-end construction serious knife users appreciate.
The blade measures 2.79” and is crafted from premium S90V stainless steel, finished with a hand rubbed satin grind that highlights the clean lines and craftsmanship of the blade. S90V is well known for its exceptional edge retention and impressive wear resistance, making it an outstanding steel for a knife that’s meant to be carried and used regularly. The versatile drop point profile offers excellent control and slicing performance, making it suitable for a wide range of everyday cutting tasks. A traditional nail nick allows for smooth manual opening in classic slipjoint fashion.
The Griffin X Series 1946 operates with a traditional slipjoint mechanism that provides the familiar walk-and-talk feel collectors and users appreciate. Ceramic bearings enhance the action, giving the blade a smooth and controlled opening and closing experience while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of a non-locking design.
The handles are built from durable stonewash titanium, offering an ideal balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight performance. The stonewashed finish provides a rugged character that helps disguise the marks of everyday carry while complementing the knife’s refined design.
Set into the titanium frame is a natural Micarta inlay that adds warmth, texture, and enhanced grip. Micarta is prized for its durability and comfortable feel in hand, and it develops a rich patina over time, giving the knife a unique character that reflects its use.
Titanium hardware and a titanium pocket clip complete the construction, keeping the knife strong, lightweight, and ready for daily carry. It measures 3.71” closed and weighs 3.4 ounces, making it compact enough for pocket carry while still offering excellent cutting performance.
