Axial Shift V3 Clip Point Black Aluminum Dark Matter Black FatCarbon Inlay MagnaCut Stonewash OTF Automatic Knife (3.40" Blade)

Built for slicing and detail cuts, this Axial Shift V3 sets Dark Matter Black FatCarbon inlays into black aluminum, with a stonewashed MagnaCut blade. The double-action clip point OTF fires out and back hard on one thumb slide.

• Stonewashed 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 the stonewash finish keeps everyday scuffs from showing.
• Black Aluminum Handle with Dark Matter Black FatCarbon Inlays - Dark Matter Black FatCarbon fills both sides of the black aluminum chassis, mixing recycled carbon fiber, resin and pigment into a deep black, meandering pattern. The inlays are matte and smooth, and the chassis is milled along its edges for grip.
• 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.
