Axial Shift V3 Clip Point Black Aluminum Arctic Storm FatCarbon Inlay MagnaCut DLC OTF Automatic Knife (3.40" Blade)

This Axial Shift V3 is a double-action clip point OTF in black aluminum with Arctic Storm FatCarbon inlays and a DLC-coated MagnaCut blade. It fires hard both ways, and its fine tip suits slicing and detail cuts.

• DLC MagnaCut Clip Point Blade - MagnaCut is a premium powder stainless that pairs strong edge retention with corrosion resistance beyond most stainless steels. A flat grind runs to a fine clip point tip, and black DLC gives the blade a hard, scratch-resistant finish.
• Black Aluminum Handle with Arctic Storm FatCarbon Inlays - Milled along its edges for grip, the black aluminum chassis is inlaid on both sides with Arctic Storm FatCarbon, carbon fiber laid up with colored ceramic powder that swirls several colors through the pattern. The inlays are matte and smooth.
• Bearing Glide System & Hammer Lock - One thumb slide fires the blade forward and draws it back on a double-action mechanism, hitting hard in both directions. The Bearing Glide System drives the blade through its travel, and the Hammer Lock locks it open.
• Titanium Deep-Carry Clip - A milled titanium clip rides low in the pocket, tip-down. It swaps sides for left- or right-hand carry. A stainless steel filler tab covers the unused holes, preventing dirt and link from find their way in.

The Axial Shift V3

The Axial Shift was launched in 2021 to put an American-made OTF in working pockets without a high-end custom price tag. The V3 is the third generation of that design, refined through owner feedback with the Bearing Glide action, the Hammer Lock, and a reshaped handle that brings the blade and handle into better balance. There's never been a better time to Shift gears to an Axial auto.
