Medford M-48 Folding Knife DLC S45VN/Blue Handles/Blue Hardware

The Medford M-48 is a masterful blend of tactical engineering and refined design, drawing inspiration from the iconic M-48 Patton main battle tank. This knife features a 3.9" S45VN stainless steel drop point blade, known for its exceptional edge retention and strength. The blade's black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coated finish not only enhances its durability but also gives it a sleek, stealthy appearance. With a manual flipper mechanism, the M-48 ensures smooth, rapid blade deployment, making it a reliable tool for a wide range of tasks.

One of the M-48’s standout features is its blue anodized aluminum front handle, etched with the distinctive tire tread pattern of the M-48 tank. This striking design element provides a unique texture and pays homage to its military inspiration. The tumbled aluminum rear handle complements the front, adding a rugged touch while maintaining a lightweight profile. This framelock knife is equipped with an ambidextrous pocket clip and a lanyard hole, offering versatile carrying options for any situation. Measuring 4.6" closed and weighing in at just 3.5oz, the M-48 is both compact and robust, making it ideal for everyday carry.

Designed by renowned knifemaker Greg Medford, the M-48 is a testament to American craftsmanship and quality. Proudly made in the USA, this knife embodies Medford's commitment to precision, durability, and heritage, delivering a tool that performs as well as it looks.
