Details

Inspired by the historic Marine Corp fighting knife, the Medford USMC Fighter Flipper is a modern titanium frame lock flipper with timeless style and reliable, tank-like Medford construction on which you can rely. A subtly "coke bottle" shaped handle is grooved to give the look of stacked leather on the original while titanium frame lock construction delivers excellent strength in a more compact, folding knife package. The drop point profile is more utilitarian than the original clip point while being a formidable defensive tool. This version has an S35VN blade finished in black tumbled PVD with matching handle and flame anodized hardware, clip and pommel plate.

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

Blade: Wide and tall, the drop point blade is made from 3/16" thick S35VN with a mid-height hollow grind for excellent slicing paired with a piercing top swedge. Riding on durable phosphor bronze washers the blade deploys via a pronounced index flipper with a bit of wrist action or use the dual fullers for more discreet operation. A polished chamfer on the spine offers a subtle contrast to the matte black PVD coated finish which offers a low-profile in use and carry.

Handle: Two slabs of solid titanium are groove milled for traction with a subtly contoured shape that is comfortable and secure in the hand and offers multiple grip options. Black tumbled PVD coating maintains a discreet look in carry and use, while flamed titanium hardware and pommel plate give a subtle touch of style. The integral frame lock is solid and secure in operation and easy to use. A partial back spacer protects the edge while the knife is closed and the pommel plate is milled with a hole for lanyard attachment for added security. Handle slabs and blade are marked with an individual serial number. Includes an S3 Hard Case for transportation and storage.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, 3D flamed titanium pocket clip with tension ball. 

CPM-S35VN: A modified version of S30V designed for improved toughness over and easier machining and polish. Toughness is improved roughly 15-20% with a slight decrease in wear resistance (edge retention). Corrosion resistance is also lightly higher, close to AISI 420. S35VN is a well-balanced steel for daily use.
