No anodization. No distractions. Pure titanium and performance.

Raw titanium is the most understated finish on the Dixon platform and the one that shows the machining most clearly. The Dragonscale milling pattern on this version runs in natural titanium with no anodizing, letting the scale texture and machined detail speak entirely for itself. An Atomic Stonewash blade and stonewashed hardware give the build a purposeful, work-ready character without adding color that competes with the raw handle.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Dixon is one of the most impressive American-made folders at this price point. The in-house hollow grind is the detail that makes it stand out. It carries like a big knife and cuts like a blade twice its size. If you want a serious USA-made folder with genuine custom shop DNA, the Dixon is the one to start with.

Raw titanium means the Dragonscale milling is visible in its most direct form. No anodized color layer over the machining. What you see is the titanium itself, shaped into scales, paired with an Atomic Stonewash blade that adds surface texture and character to the steel. Stonewashed hardware throughout keeps the finish restrained and cohesive.

Built Thick, Ground Thin

The Dixon platform is built on robust blade stock, but the in-house hollow grind is what transforms it. McNees grinds every Dixon blade in-house in Alabama, heat treated to 63-64 HRC. The result is a knife that slices far past what the blade thickness suggests. CPM MagnaCut brings the edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness to back up that geometry over the long term.

The titanium frame lock provides confident lockup with smooth, controlled manual action. Made in the USA, start to finish.

About McNees Knives

McNees Knives is a veteran-owned small business out of Vernon, Alabama. Jonathan McNees has been refining his designs since 2010, building knives that combine custom-level machining with real-world carry performance. Every Dixon is hollow ground in-house at the Alabama shop. The PM line has outsourced machining done exclusively by US shops, with fitting, detents, and sharpening handled by Jonathan and his team directly. Made in the USA is not a marketing line here. It is how the shop operates.
