About the Model 3

The Model 3 is Michael Martin's mid-tech folder, machined by hand in Weaverville, North Carolina. It runs a button liner lock with thumb stud deployment, and the 3.3" MagnaCut blade is heat treated to 64 HRC and cryogenically tempered for long edge life. The black G10 handle carries warm and grips well. There have not been many of these made, which is part of what makes them worth grabbing when one comes up.

Why This One Works

• 3.3" CPM MagnaCut blade at 64 HRC
• Black G10 handle
• Button liner lock with thumb stud deployment
• Upgraded Skiff bearings, originals included
• Made in USA

Why Supporting American Makers Matters

We don't always get to choose products made in the USA. Most categories simply don't offer that option anymore. But pocket knives are different. There is still a thriving knife manufacturing market right here.

If we want to keep what is made here alive, and even grow it, we have to support American manufacturing today.

This one has seen light use, but it has plenty of life left and is ready for its next carry.
