SHOP CASE KNIVESThe McNees 3.75 DX Dixon Folding Knife with an antiqued titanium handle and MagnaCut blade is a purpose-built American folder that blends custom craftsmanship with uncompromising performance. Designed and manufactured by McNees Custom Knives in the USA, the Dixon reflects a commitment to precision machining, premium materials, and real-world usability.
With an overall length of 8.375 inches and a 3.75-inch blade, the DX Dixon hits a sweet spot between everyday carry practicality and full-size cutting capability. The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, one of the most advanced stainless steels available today. Heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 63-64 HRC, it delivers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This isn’t just premium steel on paper—it’s built to perform under pressure and hold its edge through serious use.
Each blade is hollow ground in house at McNees Knives, ensuring tight quality control and consistent cutting geometry. The hollow grind enhances slicing performance while keeping the blade strong and responsive. Whether you’re tackling precision work or heavier tasks, the DX Dixon feels balanced and controlled in hand.
The handle is machined from solid titanium and finished in a distinctive antiqued treatment that gives each knife a unique, worn-in character. The texture and coloration provide visual depth while maintaining the durability titanium is known for. All hardware is titanium as well, reinforcing the knife’s lightweight strength and corrosion resistance. The frame lock design offers solid, confident lockup and long-term reliability, making this knife as dependable as it is refined.
Opening is manual, giving you smooth, deliberate deployment and a direct mechanical feel that serious knife users appreciate. Every detail reflects McNees’ small-batch approach and attention to craftsmanship. This isn’t a mass-produced tool—it’s a carefully built American-made folder designed to be carried, used, and trusted.
