Medford Marauder-H T/E Knife Blue Titanium, Std HW/Flamed Clip, Tumbled S45VN by Greg Medford
- Marauder-H Tanto Blue Titanium, Tumbled. A large, extremely powerful folding knife designed by Greg Medford of Medford Knife & Tool as a tribute to the A-26 Marauder bomber which was known for its incredible firepower and brute strength in combat!
The Marauder-H Tanto Blue Titanium, Tumbled with its clean design lines and robust construction is proof that less is more. The curved Fuller-groove not only reduces weight and strengthens the design, but also serves as a clever thumb grip when opening. The grips are made of .187″ titanium and the blade is .190″ thick. The knife takes its name from the A-26 Marauder, a World War II bomber. The Marauder was known for its incredible firepower and brute strength in combat.
Greg Medford's idea was to create the most reliable knives imaginable while retaining their beauty and adding the 'soul' of a handmade finish.
CPM S45VN - corrosion resistant, mechanical stress resistant American CPM S45VN powder steel with added carbon, chromium and vanadium with a hardness of 58-59 HRC being a developmental version of the well-known and popular S30V steel. This unique steel is designed for the manufacture of premium blades and knives, produced at Crucible Inc's steel mills.
The powerful Marauder-H Tanto Blue Titanium, Tumbled blade has been machine-finished with a tumbled, hand-laid concave grind for excellent cutting characteristics combined with high strength. The striking Fuller-groove embossing adds to the durability, which is used to open the knife. For increased insensitivity to contamination, phosphor bronze washers are used, making the pivot axis more resistant to field work. A powerful titanium frame lock bar secures the knife from folding, unfolded and secured the knife is as solid as an armoured cash register.
The titanium handle has been anodised blue. The protruding section of the steel backspacer can be used as a glass striker. On the back of the Handle there is a hole for weaving a safety or decorative cord. The whole is completed by a massive clip, also in titanium, of course.
Comes with a Peli-type waterproof case for storing and carrying the knife.
