SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt like a tank and ready for anything, the Medford TFF-1 (Tactical Fighting Folder) is a hard-use folder that doesn’t back down from real-world challenges. Designed for maximum strength and no-nonsense performance, this knife reflects Medford’s commitment to overbuilt reliability and American craftsmanship. Proudly made in the USA, the TFF-1 is not just a knife—it’s a statement.
This model features a 4-inch CPM S45VN stainless steel drop point blade, finished in a stealthy black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating for exceptional wear resistance and corrosion protection. The drop point shape offers a solid tip and generous belly, perfect for slicing, piercing, and controlled cutting tasks. Built from a premium steel known for its edge retention and toughness, this blade is ready for long-term, high-impact use in unforgiving environments.
The blade deploys smoothly with a thumb hole opening, offering ambidextrous access and glove-friendly operation. The knife locks up with a rock-solid titanium framelock—engineered with the precision and strength Medford is known for. Once open, it feels like a fixed blade in hand, giving you unmatched confidence and control.
The handle is crafted from tumbled titanium in Medford’s “Old School” finish, giving it a rugged, battle-worn appearance while offering high strength-to-weight ratio. Deep jimping along the spine and solid ergonomics provide a firm, comfortable grip whether you're working bare-handed or gloved up. Black hardware and a matching black DLC-coated pocket clip add contrast and attitude, finishing off a build that’s as tough as it looks.
Measuring 5.5 inches closed and 9.5 inches overall, the TFF-1 has the size and substance for serious field work. Whether you're on patrol, in the shop, or out in the elements, this knife is built to perform and built to last. Order it today from SMKW!
