Medford USMC FF "Solar Flare"/Blue Titanium, Bronze HW/Clip, Tumbled S45VN by Grreg Medford (MK204STQ-03A2-T1C1-P1)

The Medford USMC Fighter Flipper “Solar Flare”/Blue Titanium, Bronze HW/Clip, Tumbled is a large men's folding knife that's as comfortable on the job as it is in your pocket when you're walking around town. There's really a lot going on in this design: retro-style Handle milling, drop-point blade, integrated head, and a unique clip to hook onto the edge of your pocket. There really is NOTHING like the USMC Fighter Flipper in the world of knives. If you're going to chop, stab and smash something with this beast in your hand, use caution!

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 USMC Fighter Flipper “Solar Flare”/Blue Titanium, Bronze HW/Clip, Tumbled features a machine-finished Blade with a “tumbled” finish, handcrafted concave grinds give excellent cutting characteristics combined with high strength. The striking embossing increases the strength, using them to open the knife. We can also use a flipper flipper, which when opened forms a guard to protect our hand, For increased insensitivity to contamination, phosphor bronze washers were 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.

Handle made of titanium, presentation side flame-dyed with “Solar Flare” pattern , lock side anodized blue. The massive head on the back of the Handle is responsible for balance and balance, and can also be used as an improvised hammer or glass breaker. The whole is completed by a unique in form clip, of course, also made of titanium. The bolts, head and clip dyed bronze contrast beautifully with the blue handle.

It comes with a Peli-type waterproof case for storing and carrying the knife.
