FAQs
Axial knives are made exclusively in Utah, USA.
We source, machine, finish, and assemble our knives domestically so that we can deliver consistent quality and stand behind what we build.
We use CPM MagnaCut almost exclusively - a premium steel engineered for high-performance knives.
It delivers outstanding edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance, so your knife performs consistently in real-world use.
We select materials based on performance, not trends.
DLC stands for "Diamond Like Carbon" and its considered one of the most durable metal coatings available. DLC coatings lower friction, offer high wear resistance, and enhance hardness - helping the blade hold up to hard use, sweat, dirt, and daily carry.
OTF Knife Cleaning and Lubrication: With the blade retracted, use compressed air to blow into the knife handle and remove any lint or debris trapped inside. Next, apply a single drop of any type of gun lubricant at the center of the blade near the choil and actuate the blade upside down approximately 10 times. This will distribute the lubricant throughout the mechanism and keep your knife operating smoothly.

Our knives sell out extremely fast. Most of our knives are released on a limited basis - when they sell out they are gone until the next future drop.
We sell mainly from our website via knife drops. We communicate the date and time of our drops through emails, texts, and our instagram. Once the knives go live on our site, they are first come, first serve so be prepared to act fast!
