Details
The Praetorian Swift FL is a scaled down version of the Medford Praetorian design with a titanium frame lock flipper build. Everything you love about the Praetorian is made more carry friendly by slimming down the package size yet retaining a robust construction. A smooth bearing pivot, fast flipper deployment and solid lockup make this an excellent choice for EDC. This version comes with a tumbled S35VN Tanto blade, matching titanium frame, and dark blue anodized aluminum scale with standard hardware.
Brand new, directly from Medford Knife & Tool.
Blade: Made from nearly 4 mm thick S35VN for enhanced cutting performance the Tanto blade comes with a tumbled finish and mid-height hollow grind for good slicing and durability. Flat ground at the tip, the Tanto pierces well and is practical for flat surface work. Striking dual fullers keep the classic Praetorian look and offer an additional deployment method along with the flipper, the blade riding smooth on a bearing pivot.
Handle: An anodized aluminum scale with integral back spacer pairs with the titanium frame keeping the classic Praetorian lines with scalloped milling on the front for traction. The frame lock mechanism is smooth and reliable for safe use. An oval hole allows for lanyard attachment. Includes a padded zipper pouch for carry and storage.
Carries via a right-hand titanium pocket clip.
CPM-S35VN: Modified CPM-S30V designed for improved toughness (15-20%) and ease of machining and polishing. Well-balanced for daily use, S35VN has better edge retention and toughness compared to 440C or VG10, with equivalent corrosion resistance.
