Named after the hard-hitting A-26 Marauder bomber of WWII, the Medford Marauder-H is built to bring unyielding force and brute-force toughness to any cutting chore. Built as a true Hybrid (signified by the 'H'), this workhorse pairs a massive blade stock with matching 3/16-inch thick titanium handle slabs to deliver near-indestructible frame stiffness, absolute lock security, and a commanding grip profile. This ultra-premium variation is fully blacked out in a sleek, non-reflective Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating that covers the blade, the massive titanium scale flats, and every piece of matching hardware for an uncompromised tactical layout.
The heavy 0.190-inch drop point blade is hand-ground from upgraded CPM-S45VN stainless steel, which is highly regarded for its balance of edge retention, toughness, and stain resistance. The entire knife is treated to a uniform, premium black PVD finish that increases surface hardness while protecting the metal surfaces against scratches, severe friction, and corrosive environmental exposure. The handle frame scales are machined from solid 3/16-inch thick titanium slabs, offering a premium, hard-use tactical weight and maximum chassis rigidity.
Operational supremacy is anchored by an overbuilt titanium frame-lock mechanism, where symmetrical dual external stop pins sit flat against the hefty frame to resist lateral torque and absorb heavy impacts. Cycling with a smooth, hydraulic-mechanical feel on oversized phosphor-bronze washers, the blade features a deep, sweeping fuller groove that lightens forward weight while serving as a seamless thumb-slide path for smooth manual opening. Designed for tip-up, right-hand carry, the folder features a black PVD titanium pocket clip, while an integrated glass breaker tip and lanyard hole complete the pommel base.
