Greg Medford, founder of Medford Knife and Tool, is an American craftsman and patriot from Arizona. His Greek-Irish roots and values instilled in him by his family, such as pragmatism and hard work shaped his path as an innovative designer. As a former Marine, pilot and martial arts master, Greg combines American pragmatism, freedom and advanced technology in his designs. The company, founded in 2010, is famous for its handmade, durable tactical tools and knives, including the well-known Praetorian model
D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. With a high 13.0% chromium (Cr) content, it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in industry, including the knife industry.
The powerful Praetorian Scout M/P Tanto type blade has been coated with a black DLC coating, the concave grinds give excellent cutting properties combined with high strength. The striking embossing increases the strength, 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 liner lock bar secures the knife from folding, and unfolded and secured the knife is as solid as an armored cash register.
Handle made of G10 composite, bolted to a titanium frame. All Praetorian variants are equipped with a PVD-coated D2 hardened steel backspacer, which also serves as a glass striker. MKT has thoroughly tested these backspacers and found that they are completely reliable and 100% functional. No gimmicks. There will be no other variants of the backspacer, in a different material or a different shape, because it is meant to save lives in an emergency, not for decoration. Wear hand and arm protection when testing, as excessive impact force will ALWAYS cause cuts! The whole thing is completed with a massive clip, of course, also made of PVD-coated titanium.
The knife is delivered in a waterproof and dustproof - IP67 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 packaging, S3 Case technical case, Dog Tag immortal and signed "Certificate of Creation and Authenticity".
