Shockwave Milling with a Clean, Classic Finish

This version of the McNees Dixon pairs the Shockwave milling pattern with a clean, refined satin finish throughout. The blue anodized titanium scales feature McNees’ aggressive Shockwave milling on both the show side and lock side, giving the knife a bold visual identity and excellent grip without feeling sharp or uncomfortable in hand.

Matched with a satin-finished CPM MagnaCut blade and satin titanium hardware, this configuration blends high-contrast texture with a timeless, no-nonsense finish. Like every Dixon, the blade is hollow ground in-house at McNees Knives, delivering slicing performance that completely defies the knife’s substantial blade stock.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

The Shockwave pattern adds a ton of personality to the Dixon, but what really seals it for me is the satin blade and hardware. It keeps everything clean and balanced while still giving you that aggressive McNees feel in hand. And once again, that hollow grind is unreal for a knife this stout.

Built Thick, Ground Thin

At the heart of the Dixon is McNees’ hollow grind, cut in-house and heat treated to 63–64 HRC. The result is a blade that looks overbuilt but slices far better than expected. CPM MagnaCut brings excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making this a true hard-use folder that still cuts like a precision tool.

The titanium frame lock provides rock-solid lockup with smooth, controlled manual action. Shockwave milling enhances grip and visual depth, while the satin hardware keeps the overall build clean and cohesive.
