The Little Dixon is the 3.25 inch version of McNees' Dixon, and it is the one that sits closest to the size of the original custom design. This is the DX in Blue and Bronze Atomic, with a MagnaMax blade on a titanium frame lock.

The Quiet One

Where the Rock and Dragonscale versions carry a deep milled pattern, this one runs McNees' micro milling lines instead. Fine, tight, and restrained, so the Atomic finish and the shape of the knife do the work rather than the texture. It also comes in thirty dollars under the patterned versions, which makes it the way into a Little Dixon if the pattern was never the reason you wanted one.

MagnaMax, Not MagnaCut

MagnaMax is one of Crucible's newer steels, built to push edge retention past MagnaCut while keeping the corrosion resistance that makes a steel worth carrying in the first place. On a hollow ground blade this thin, that extra edge life is exactly where you want it.

The Little Dixon

McNees scaled the Dixon down and in doing so landed almost exactly on the size of the custom that started the line. It keeps everything the 3.75 inch version has, including the High Performance Hollow Grind, in a package that carries where the bigger one starts to feel like a lot of knife.

The Hollow Grind

The High Performance Hollow Grind is the reason people talk about these. A hollow grind thins the blade out behind the edge more aggressively than a flat grind does, so it slices well above what a 3.25 inch blade should. McNees grinds every one in house rather than farming it out.

About McNees

Jonathan McNees started making knives in 2008 on a self built grinder run off an extension cord from the house. It is a veteran owned family business now, with his wife Amy on the business side, and all the pattern milling is done in his own shop.

Why This One Stands Out

Same steel, same grind, same finish as the patterned versions, thirty dollars less, and quieter in the hand. We have two.
