Medford M-48 Folding Knife DLC S45VN/Red Handles/Bronze Hardware

The Medford M-48 is a true blend of tactical precision and striking design, inspired by the formidable M-48 Patton main battle tank. Its 3.9" S45VN stainless steel drop point blade is built for toughness and edge retention, making it ready for any challenge. The blade's black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coated finish adds not only a sleek, tactical look but also exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion. With a smooth manual flipper action, this knife deploys quickly and efficiently, providing reliability when you need it most.

The handle design is where the M-48 stands out, featuring a red anodized aluminum front handle etched with the iconic M-48 tank tire tread pattern. This unique texture provides a rugged grip and adds a bold, eye-catching contrast against the tumbled aluminum rear handle. The framelock mechanism ensures a secure lockup, while the ambidextrous pocket clip and lanyard hole offer versatile carry options, making it suitable for both left and right-handed users. Measuring 4.6" closed and weighing just 3.5oz, this knife strikes the perfect balance between portability and strength, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry or tactical use.

Designed by master knifemaker Greg Medford, the M-48 exemplifies American craftsmanship at its finest. Proudly made in the USA, every detail of this knife reflects Medford's commitment to quality, durability, and functional design, ensuring it performs as impressively as it looks.
