Medford's "Big Knife" performance is distilled down into a slim, lightweight, everyday carry package in the Praetorian Slim. Large enough for big jobs and plenty robust, the Praetorian Slim is similar in size to the Praetorian Genesis only scaled down in thickness and weight to offer a Medford design that can easily be carried every day in your pocket, pack or purse...even works well in dress slacks. This version has a tumbled CPM-S35VN Tanto Point blade and faced and flamed blue titanium front scale and blasted and tumbled frame.

Brand new, directly from Medford Knife & Tool, USA.

Blade: The utilitarian, Tanto point blade is made from slim yet robust 1/8 inch thick CPM-S35VN that has been tumbled and ground with a mid-height hollow grind delivering powerful slicing and piercing performance with solid durability and just over 3 inches of razor sharp cutting edge. A robust point pierces with ease while the forward edge is perfect for detail work. The blade deploys smoothly on the phosphor bronze washer pivot and opens ambidextrously via the large blade fuller milling.

Handle: Two +1/8 inch slabs of titanium make up the handle with barrel spacers forming an easy to maintain, open back construction. The front scale is milled with finger groove divots for enhanced traction while the back scale forms the simple, robust, integral frame lock mechanism. The front slab is faced and flamed blue for a striking look while the back is blasted and tumbled for a contrasting rugged and subdued look. Large oval holes allow for easy lanyard attachment. Slim in the pocket, the handles have over 4 inches of grip area to accommodate large gloved hands. Construction is completed with satin titanium hardware. Both slabs and blade are marked with an individual serial number.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up only flat Titanium pocket clip. Includes an S3 Hard Case for transportation and storage.

CPM S35VN: was designed to offer improved toughness over CPM S30V. It is also easier to machine and polish than CPM S30V. The inclusion of Niobium allows for the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides. Substituting some niobium carbides for vanadium carbides makes CPM S35VN about 15-20% tougher than CPM S30V without any loss of wear resistance. CPM S35VN’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping.
