Medford Praetorian Ti Tanto PVD 3V Faced Blue Lightning Titanium Folder MKT080

Praetorian Guards were elite men chosen from the Legions of Rome to serve as personal protectors of the Emperor. The MKT Praetorian Ti is an elite tool befitting of the name that will guard you well. Truly built like a tank, the Praetorian Ti pairs robust construction with premium materials to deliver unsurpassed reliability you will be able to pass down through the generations. This version has a PVD coated CPM-3V Tanto blade and faced “Blue Lightning” milled handles.

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

Blade: Made from ultra-tough, beefy CPM-3V, the Tanto blade has a mid-height hollow grind for powerful slicing and a discreet black PVD finish. A flat ground tip lends added strength for piercing and cuts well on flat surfaces. Phosphor bronze washers deliver smooth ambidextrous operation via the large blade fullers. Aggressive jimping on the spine transitions into the handle for exceptional traction.

Handle: Two beefy slabs of titanium and a PVD coated D2 back spacer form the handle with striking faced “blue lightning” milling for visual appeal and traction. Matching titanium hardware and faced and flamed pocket clip along with the striker pommel back spacer round out the construction. Both slabs and blade comes marked with an individual serial number. Includes a padded hard case for transportation and storage along with a handmade Pasutero Pastels Samurai Sack pouch.

Carries via a right-hand milled titanium clip.

CPM-3V: A high carbon alloy steel that is extremely tough and has enough chromium to have some corrosion resistance, it requires care and maintenance. High toughness translates to a stable edge that can be ground thin for enhanced performance. 3V has good edge retention, approaching VG-10 and CPM-154, with more than 3x the toughness.
