Medford USMC FF Black DLC Titanium, Black HW/Clip, Black DLC S45VN by Greg Medford (MK2044TQ-30PV-TFCF-PP)

The Medford USMC Fighter Flipper Black DLC Titanium, Black HW/Clip, Black DLC 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.

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 scratch and abrasion resistant coatings that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.

The USMC Fighter Flipper Black DLC Titanium, Black HW/Clip, Black DLC features a Blade with a black DLC coating, handcrafted concave grinds give excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. The striking embossing increases the strength, we use them to open the knife. We can also use the 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.

The titanium Handle has been coated with a black DLC coating. The massive head at 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 complemented by a unique in form clip, also made of titanium, of course. The screws, like the clip, are dyed black.

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