SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Medford M-48 is a bold, hard-use folding knife built with the precision and strength expected from Greg Medford’s designs. Inspired by the legendary M-48 Patton tank, this American-made folder is designed for those who demand toughness and reliability in their everyday carry.
At the heart of the M-48 is a 3.9-inch CPM-S45VN stainless steel drop point blade with a tumbled finish, offering superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade flipper provides quick, effortless deployment, while the framelock mechanism ensures rock-solid security during use. Whether slicing, piercing, or tackling heavy-duty cutting tasks, this blade is built to perform.
The blue aluminum handle balances lightweight construction with durability, making it easy to carry while maintaining strength for rugged work. Precision-machined contours provide a comfortable grip, while the titanium hardware and titanium pocket clip add a refined touch to the robust build. A lanyard hole at the base allows for customization and added security in the field.
Measuring 4.6 inches closed and weighing just 3.5 ounces, the M-48 is compact enough for everyday carry without sacrificing cutting power. Proudly made in the USA, this knife embodies Medford’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and uncompromising performance.
