The McNees 3.25 Little Dixon Dragonscale brings the proven Dixon platform into a compact, premium everyday-carry folder with a rugged Bronze Atomic finish. Made in the USA by McNees Custom Knives, this version combines a precision-machined titanium handle with a CPM MagnaCut blade, delivering a refined balance of cutting performance, durability, and unmistakable McNees craftsmanship.
The 3.25-inch CPM MagnaCut blade is hollow ground in-house at McNees Knives and features the company’s increasingly popular High Performance Hollow Grind. Heat treated to an impressive 63-64 HRC, the blade is designed to deliver excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its compact profile provides plenty of capability for everyday cutting tasks while remaining easy to control and carry. The manual opening mechanism offers direct control over deployment, while the frame lock provides a secure locking platform during use.
The titanium handle features a rugged Bronze Atomic finish and an intricate Dragonscale milling pattern. The detailed machining adds visual depth and texture, giving the handle a distinctive appearance and tactile feel. McNees machines the pattern on both the show side and lock side, showcasing the precision craftsmanship throughout the handle. The base model features micro milling lines, while this Dragonscale version takes the machining to another level with an elaborate pattern that highlights the titanium construction.
Titanium hardware complements the handle and maintains the premium construction throughout the knife. Measuring 7.625 inches overall when open, the Little Dixon remains very close to the dimensions of the original custom Dixon design. Its compact proportions make it an excellent everyday-carry choice, while its robust titanium construction and premium CPM MagnaCut blade give it the capability and durability expected from a serious working folder.
The newest version of the Dixon incorporates the features that have made its larger counterpart so popular, including the High Performance Hollow Grind. The Little Dixon brings those performance-focused characteristics into a smaller package that's practical for daily carry without sacrificing the rugged construction and precision machining associated with McNees knives.
