McNees Dixon Frame Lock Knife, Blue Anodized Titanium, Atomic Stonewash MagnaCut Blade & Hardware – Made in USA (Model 1645)

A Refined Powerhouse with McNees’ Signature Cut

The McNees Dixon represents the evolution of Jonathan McNees’ original custom design from 2010, refined through years of hands-on experience and in-house manufacturing. This configuration features blue anodized titanium scalespaired with an Atomic Stonewash MagnaCut blade and matching hardware, giving the knife a cohesive, purpose-built look that balances refinement with real-world durability.

While the Dixon’s blade stock looks substantial at first glance, every Dixon is hollow ground in-house at McNees Knives, creating a cutting profile that’s far slicier than you’d expect. It’s a knife that feels strong and confidence-inspiring in hand, yet performs exceptionally well on everyday cutting tasks.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

The Dixon is one of those knives that completely changes your expectations once you start using it. The blue anodizing gives this one a clean, almost technical look, and the Atomic Stonewash ties everything together without feeling flashy. What really stands out is how well it cuts. That hollow grind makes a big difference, and it’s something you notice immediately.

Engineered for Performance

The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, heat treated to 63–64 HRC, delivering an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The Atomic Stonewash finish helps mask wear over time and reinforces the Dixon’s role as a true user knife.

The titanium frame lock handle is precisely machined and paired with matching Atomic Stonewash hardware, creating a uniform, dialed-in appearance. The action is smooth and deliberate, with the solid lockup you expect from a McNees build.
