Medford Knives Infraction Tumbled S35VN Flamed Titanium Frame Lock Folder

For those of you that find a full-sized Medford pocket knife (XL for most folks) a bit cumbersome, Medford Knife & Tool has developed the streamlined, rocket ship folder just for you. It is called the Infraction, and it is one of the smallest and lightest knives with a full size, full length frame they have ever produced. This may truly be the ultimate in hard use, everyday carry folders. This version comes with a tumbled, hollow ground CPM-S35VN drop point blade, matching titanium lock side and flamed titanium front scale and clip.

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

Blade: The utilitarian drop point blade is made from 3/16" thick S35VN that has been tumbled and then ground with a mid-height hollow grind for exceptional piercing and slicing ability with tank-like durability. The blade deploys smoothly on the dual phosphor bronze washer setup and opens ambidextrously via the large blade hole and fuller milling or the minimalist flipper tab with a bit of wrist action. A generous finger choil allows for optimal control of the blade for fine work.

Handle: Two beefy slabs of titanium form the handle with the NP3 coated partial back spacer. The front is matte flame anodized with a deep fuller and contoured steps for comfort. On the reverse is a tumbled slab, cut with an integral frame lock mechanism for solid lock up and safe operation. Construction is completed with stainless steel hardware and lanyard hole in the exposed pommel end. Both slabs and blade are marked with an individual serial number.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up only 3D Machine Flamed 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 niobium carbides for some 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.
