The McNees 3.25 Little Dixon Dragonscale brings the performance of the Dixon platform into a compact, premium everyday-carry folder with a striking Blue Bronze Atomic finish. Made in the USA by McNees Custom Knives, this version combines a precision-machined titanium handle with a high-performance MagnaMax blade, giving it the cutting capability and refined construction expected from a McNees knife.
The 3.25-inch MagnaMax blade is hollow ground in-house at McNees Knives as part of the company's High Performance Hollow Grind. Heat treated to an impressive 63-64 HRC, the blade is built for excellent edge retention and precise cutting performance. The compact blade length provides plenty of utility for everyday cutting tasks while keeping the Little Dixon easy to carry and maneuver. A manual opening mechanism gives you direct control over deployment, while the sturdy frame lock provides a secure lockup during use.
The titanium handle is where this Little Dixon really stands apart. Finished in Blue Bronze Atomic and machined with a Dragonscale pattern, the handle delivers a distinctive combination of color, texture, and precision machining. The milled pattern continues across both the show side and lock side, showcasing McNees' attention to detail from every angle. Titanium hardware complements the construction while keeping the knife strong and purpose-built for regular carry.
Measuring 7.625 inches overall when open, the Little Dixon stays very close to the size of the original custom Dixon design while incorporating many of the features found on its larger counterpart. The compact proportions make it an excellent EDC option, while the premium materials and high-end machining give it the substance of a serious enthusiast's knife. The base Dixon platform is known for its micro milling lines, and this Dragonscale version takes that foundation in a more elaborate and visually aggressive direction.
