Medford 187 DP Brushed/Flamed ''Galaxy'' Titanium, Black HW, Brsh/''Galaxy'' Clip, DLC D2 by Greg Medford (MK002DPD-03PV-TPCF-Q4)

187 DP Brushed/Flamed "Galaxy" Titanium, Black HW, Brsh/"Galaxy" Clip, Black DLC is a powerfully built folding knife ideal for men with large hands and suited for almost any task where a knife is needed. It is opened with an oval hole in the blade. The concave grind on the D2 steel blade was made by hand. This is unique in the knife industry; only a few manufacturers is capable of make a concave grind by hand. When opened, a solid framelock holds the blade in place. The stop-pin has been pressed into the blade so that it rests symmetrically against the handle, which brilliantly increases durability. The knife gets its name from the thickness (0.187") of the titanium scales used in the construction of the handle. Made entirely in the USA, according to the high standards set by Medford.

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

D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat -treated to 59-60 HRC. With a high chromium content of 13.0% (Cr), 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 by 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 the industry, including the knife industry.

Blade - with Drop Point profile. In this version of the 187 DP we get a handmade hollow grind, an oval opening in the blade with which to open the knife. Blade is covered with black DLC coating. Phosphor bronze washers have been used to make the pivot more insensitive to contamination, making the pivot 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, on the presentation side was finished with blue “Galaxy” pattern. The lock side covered with a black coating. Open-backed design without the typical backspacer, attached to each other with spacer sleeves for easy cleaning. Simple and reliable design. The whole is complemented by a massive clip, of course, also made of titanium, finished with a blue “Galaxy” pattern.

Included - cardboard box, nylon pouch, company patch with Velcro attachment and signed “Certificate of Creation and Authenticity”.
