614,56 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Luke Airman PS Black G10, Std HW, Tumbled is a modern reinterpretation of the classic combat knife, created by Greg Medford as a tool for real work in the field and not as a collector's piece. The massive design, already evident in the contour of the Blade and the layout of the Handle, has been subordinated entirely to function - no decoration, no compromise, in the spirit of strict design of the American school of knives. This tool was created for users who treat a knife as a basic piece of equipment, not an accessory. The CPM 3V steel used is distinguished by exceptional impact and fracture resistance, making it an ideal choice for tactical and survival applications. The blade's pronounced belly and reinforced tip allow for effective power work and cutting under load, while the deep relief cutter has a positive effect on the knife's balance and improves its balance. The tumbled matte finish effectively masks traces of use, which is important in off-road applications. The G10 composite handle was designed with ergonomics and safety in mind - with deep finger indentations, geometric contouring and a solid crossguard, which effectively separates the hand from the blade. As a result, even dynamic work with gloves or in wet conditions does not adversely affect tool control. It comes with a sturdy Kydex sheath, allowing it to be mounted in configurations to suit different operational environments. The Luke Airman PS is a knife for professionals - durable, safe, focused on function.
Greg Medford, founder of Medford Knife and Tool, is an American craftsman and patriot from Arizona. His Greek-Irish roots and the 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 known for its handmade, durable tactical tools and knives, including the well-known Praetorian model
CPM 3V - a wear-resistant tool steel with high hardness. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible Particle Metallurgy(CPM) method. The CPM process creates a highly homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Designed to provide maximum fracture and chipping resistance in high wear resistance steels. It offers impact resistance greater than A2, D2, Cru-Wear or CPM M4 , approaching the levels provided by S7 and other impact-resistant grades. CPM 3V is hardened to 61-63 HRC for applications where chronic cracking and chipping is found in other tool steels, but where the abrasive properties of high-alloy steel are required.
Blade - made of CPM 3V powder steel, known for its very high resistance to cracking, working edge stability and exceptional impact strength. The profile used, with a pronounced belly and reinforced tip, allows for effective power work, while maintaining precision handling. The geometric balance is conducive to use in variable conditions, where the predictability of the blade under pressure and in tasks requiring cutting under load is a priority. On the bevels of the blade is a distinctive relief cutter, which not only improves the balance of the entire structure, but also provides a supportive grip element for dynamic work. The tumbled finish gives the Blade's surface a raw, technical look and reduces the visibility of scratches, which increases the visual durability of the tool during use. A full-length crossguard integrated into the Blade effectively separates the blade zone from the hand, increasing safety even in the most demanding off-road tasks.
Handle - made of G10 composite was designed for full ergonomics and control - both when working with gloves and bare hand. Segmented cont ouring and deep finger undercuts allow stable and predictable hand positioning, which translates into safety and comfort in the long run. The G10 material features high resistance to moisture, changing temperatures and mechanical damage, making it ideal for tactical and outdoor environments. The marked crossguard creates an effective protective barrier between the hand and blade, minimizing the risk of the hand slipping on the blade during dynamic use. The back of the grip has been contoured to provide a stable hand rest, which improves maneuverability and reduces fatigue during prolonged use. The open end of the shank allows additional uses - as an attachment point for a safety line or an improvised auxiliary tool. The Luke Airman PS Handle is a design subordinated to utility, safety and long-term durability, in accordance with the philosophy of the Medford Knife & Tool brand .
