American Blade Works Slipjoint — Ridgerunner Blades Exclusive | UV Reactive Rasta Camo Carbon

The American Blade Works Slipjoint is a modern masterpiece from one of America’s most exciting small knife makers, and this edition is available only through Ridgerunner Blades. Founder Michael Martin CNC-machines each one by hand in Weaverville, North Carolina. This exclusive pairs his precision slipjoint with UV Reactive Rasta Camo Carbon handle scales. In daylight they show a bold red, gold and green camo pattern locked into carbon fiber. Under a blacklight the pattern glows. The CPM MagnaCut blade is heat-treated and cryogenically tempered for elite performance, and phosphor bronze washers give it a buttery-smooth action. It’s a modern EDC slipjoint that redefines what a non-locking folder can be at this price point, and one you won’t find anywhere else. 100% American made, start to finish.
