SRM Medal 259L-AK Gray – Ebony 3.18in Plain Brushed Reverse Tanto

The SRM Medal 259L-AK Gray & Ebony is a refined everyday carry folding knife that pairs premium materials with clean, modern performance. Designed for those who appreciate both function and style, this knife delivers dependable cutting power in a package that feels as good in hand as it looks in pocket.

With an overall length of 7.59 inches and a closed length of 4.41 inches, the Medal strikes an ideal balance between capability and compact carry. Weighing just 2.64 ounces, it’s light enough for comfortable daily use while still offering a reassuring, solid feel. Whether you’re opening packages, handling detailed tasks, or tackling light-duty work, this EDC folding knife is built to handle it all without weighing you down.

The 3.18-inch reverse tanto blade is crafted from 14C28N steel, hardened to HRC 57–59. This high-performance stainless steel is known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a reliable choice for everyday cutting needs. The reverse tanto blade style provides a reinforced tip for precision work while maintaining a long, straight cutting edge that slices cleanly and efficiently. Finished with a sleek brush finish, the blade offers a subtle, refined appearance that complements the knife’s upscale design.

Deployment is smooth and intuitive thanks to the thumb stud opener and ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly. The blade glides open with impressive fluidity, delivering crisp, controlled action every time. It’s the kind of smooth performance you’ll appreciate with each use, whether you’re at work or out and about.

Lockup is handled by SRM’s Ambi Lock, a crossbar lock system engineered for strength and ambidextrous operation. This locking mechanism provides secure blade engagement and easy one-handed closing from either side, making it comfortable and practical for both left- and right-handed users. You’ll enjoy confident performance and straightforward handling in any situation.

What truly sets the SRM Medal 259L-AK apart is its striking handle design. Rich ebony wood scales bring depth, warmth, and timeless character, while the gray anodized 6063 aluminum bolster adds a modern, precision-machined accent. The combination of natural wood and durable aluminum creates a sophisticated look that stands out without being flashy. Ergonomically shaped for comfort, the handle offers a secure, natural grip that feels steady during extended use.

A deep-carry, ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife discreetly positioned in your pocket. Designed for left or right carry, it allows you to customize your setup while maintaining a low-profile appearance. It’s a thoughtful detail that enhances the practicality of this everyday carry folding knife.

The SRM Medal 259L-AK Gray & Ebony proves that an EDC folding knife can be both hardworking and refined. From its durable 14C28N reverse tanto blade and ceramic bearing pivot to its ambidextrous crossbar lock and elegant ebony-and-aluminum handle, every element is crafted with purpose and attention to detail.
