The American Blade Works Model 1 (ABW-M1-SW-BK) is a purpose-built everyday carry folding knife that blends premium materials, clean design, and reliable performance into a streamlined platform. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this knife reflects a commitment to precision machining and practical usability, making it an excellent choice for both collectors and daily users.

At the heart of the Model 1 is a 3.25-inch CPM MagnaCut drop point blade, finished in a rugged stonewash. MagnaCut is widely regarded as one of the most well-balanced modern blade steels, offering exceptional corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness. The drop point profile provides excellent versatility, making it ideal for slicing, controlled cutting, and general utility tasks. The stonewash finish helps conceal wear over time, keeping the blade looking clean through extended use.

The handle is constructed from lightweight yet durable 6061-T6 aluminum, finished in black for a clean, understated look. This material provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining a comfortable feel in hand. The ergonomics are straightforward and effective, allowing for secure grip and confident control during extended cutting sessions.

A liner lock mechanism ensures reliable lockup and ease of use, offering a familiar and dependable system for everyday carry. With an overall length of 8.88 inches and a closed length of 4.67 inches, the Model 1 strikes an ideal balance between carry comfort and usable blade length.
