High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Medford UDT-1 is a compact, no-nonsense fixed blade built for professionals who demand absolute reliability from their tools. Crafted in the USA, this purpose-driven knife features a 3.5-inch CPM S35VN tanto blade with a rugged black PVD finish, offering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and the brute piercing power tanto lovers count on. The full tang construction ensures strength throughout, while the aggressive jimping on the spine gives you confident control in high-stress situations. Whether you're in the field, on a deployment, or cutting through daily tasks that chew up lesser blades, the UDT-1 won’t back down.
The handle scales are made from black G-10, contoured with Medford’s signature attention to ergonomics. The grip stays secure whether you're gloved up or bare-handed in wet conditions. The included black Kydex sheath locks the blade down with a secure click and offers versatile mounting options for horizontal or vertical carry, making it ideal for tactical, concealed, or everyday belt use. At just 7.5 inches overall, the UDT-1 carries light but punches way above its weight. Every detail is tight, deliberate, and designed for hard use—hallmarks of Medford Knife & Tool's commitment to American manufacturing and overbuilt excellence.
