McNees Little Dixon Rock Violet Atomic Titanium MagnaCut Frame Lock Knife (3.41" Blade)

Violet Atomic anodizing goes over the rock-milled scales of this McNees Little Dixon, a titanium frame lock with a full-size grip on a shorter blade. Hollow-ground MagnaCut makes it a slicer first.

• MagnaCut Drop Point with Deep Hollow Grind - The blade runs MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC, a premium stainless built around corrosion resistance and toughness that still comes back on ordinary stones. It is deep hollow ground in house, leaving it thin behind the edge for slicing.
• Rock-Milled Violet Atomic Titanium Handle - Rock milling runs on both the show side and the lock side, heavily textured under the hand. Violet anodizing follows a heavy tumble, with the worn finish coming up through the color.
• Thumb Hole & Frame Lock on Ceramic Bearings - Ceramic bearings carry the pivot, letting the blade open smooth off the thumb hole. The frame lock is cut into the lock-side scale and springs in behind the blade tang, locking up solid with zero play.
• Blasted Titanium Hardware & Tip-Up Clip - Blasted titanium hardware holds everything together, and standoffs space the handle down the spine with room for a lanyard on the end. The pocket clip is titanium, positioned for tip-up, right-hand carry.

The McNees Little Dixon

The McNees Little Dixon is a full-size titanium folder built around a shorter blade, filling the hand without hot spots during a day of hard work. Jonathan McNees drew the design as a custom in 2010, and this version brings it back, sitting close to the original size. McNees Knives, a small batch American shop, cuts a deep hollow grind into this shorter blade, leaving behind a slicer with enough frame and toughness to take on daily use.
