Medford Smooth Criminal Tumbled Old School 3in Plain DLC Drop Point Black Hardware DLC Clip MKT394PQ-01TM-TPCP-BP

The Medford Smooth Criminal Tumbled Old School DLC Drop Point Black Hardware DLC Clip is a knife that merges classic styling with modern toughness, offering an everyday carry folding knife that’s as functional as it is distinctive. Medford has built a reputation for overbuilt knives that combine rugged performance with eye-catching design, and this model embodies that philosophy perfectly. It’s a knife that’s ready for demanding daily tasks while making a statement with its refined aesthetics.

At its heart is a 3-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM S45Vn stainless steel, one of the most durable and corrosion-resistant steels on the market. It delivers impressive edge retention and toughness, ensuring that the blade holds up even under frequent use. The black DLC finish adds an aggressive, tactical look while providing an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion. With a blade thickness of .15 inches, this knife strikes an ideal balance between strength and precision, giving you confidence for both heavy-duty cutting and more delicate tasks.

Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to the blade flipper. A quick flick of your finger brings the blade into action, allowing smooth, reliable opening with one hand. The button lock then secures the blade firmly in place, giving you peace of mind during use. The lock is easy to disengage when it’s time to close the knife, making operation straightforward without sacrificing safety or reliability. This combination of fast deployment and secure lockup makes the Smooth Criminal an ideal companion for daily carry.

The handle is crafted from Tumbled Old School aluminum, which gives it a rugged yet timeless aesthetic. It’s lightweight, durable, and ergonomically shaped for a comfortable grip, providing stability during extended use. Measuring 4 inches closed and 7 inches overall, the knife feels substantial in the hand without being bulky for pocket carry. At 5 ounces, it balances presence and portability, making it a practical choice for those who want a dependable, everyday tool.

Design details elevate the Smooth Criminal beyond mere functionality. The black DLC tip-up pocket clip and hardware add a sleek, cohesive look that complements the blade’s finish. The clip provides secure, discreet carry, and the tumbled handle adds texture and visual depth that gives this knife character and personality. Every element, from the blade to the hardware, is designed to combine practicality with Medford’s signature attention to detail.

The Smooth Criminal Tumbled Old School DLC Drop Point Black Hardware DLC Clip is more than just a knife—it’s a robust everyday carry folding knife built for performance, style, and longevity. The premium CPM S45Vn blade, ergonomic handle, and durable finishes come together to make it a reliable tool you’ll reach for again and again.
