Medford Marauder-H Drop Point, Tumbled Titanium, Flamed HW/Clip, NP3 Breaker, Tumbled S45VN by Greg Medford (MK045STD-01TM-TFCF-BN)

Marauder-H Drop Point, Tumbled Titanium, Flamed HW/Clip, NP3 Breaker, Tumbled with its clean design lines and solid construction is proof that less is more. The curved Fuller-groove not only reduces weight and strengthens the design, but also serves as a clever thumb grip when opening. The grips are made of .187″ titanium, and the blade is .190″ thick. The knife takes its name from the A-26 Marauder, a World War II bomber. The Marauder was known for its incredible firepower and brute strength in combat.

Greg Medford's idea was to create the most reliable knives imaginable while retaining their beauty and adding the "soul" of hand finishing.

CPM S45VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best blade steels. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. The improved strength of CPM S45VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.

The powerful Marauder-H Drop Point Blade, Tumbled Titanium, Flamed HW/Clip, NP3 Breaker, Tumbled, has been machine-finished with a tumbled, hand-laid concave grind for excellent cutting properties combined with high strength. The striking Fuller-groove embossing increases durability, using them to open the knife. For increased insensitivity to contamination, phosphor bronze washer was used, making the pivot axis more resistant to field work. A powerful titanium frame lock bar secures the knife from folding, unfolded and secured the knife is as solid as an armored cash register.

The titanium Handle has been machine-finished tumbled, as has the blade. A protruding section of the steel backspacer can be used as a glass breaker. On the back of the Handle there is a hole for interweaving a safety or decorative cord. The whole is completed by a massive clip, also made of titanium, of course.

The knife is delivered in a waterproof and dustproof - IP67 rating and shockproof (MIL-STD-810F) technical case from the American S3 Case Company, made of high-impact S433 resin - one of the most durable materials available in the world.

Included - cardboard box, S3 Case technical case and signed "Certificate of Creation and Authenticity".
