884,82 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
187 DP Black PVD "Ghosted Flag" Titanium, PVD HW, PVD w/Bronze Clip, Black PVD D2 is a powerfully built folding knife ideal for men with large hands and suited for almost any task where a knife is needed. It is opened with an oval hole in the blade. The concave grind on the D2 steel blade was made by hand. This is unique in the knife industry; only a few manufacturers is capable of make a concave grind by hand. When opened, a solid framelock holds the blade in place. The stop-pin has been pressed into the blade so that it rests symmetrically against the handle, which brilliantly increases durability. The knife gets its name from the thickness (0.187") of the titanium scales used in the construction of the handle. Made entirely in the USA, according to the high standards set by Medford
Greg Medford's idea was to create the most reliable knives imaginable while retaining their beauty and adding the "soul" of hand finishing.
D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 59-60 HRC. With a high chromium content of 13.0% (Cr), it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. It has high wear resistance due to its high carbide content in the microstructure.
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) - the resistance of the surface of the wedge and cutting edge is enhanced by a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of the workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.
Blade - with Drop Point profile. In this version of the 187 DP we get a handmade concave grind, Blade coated with black PVD coating, a hole in the blade with which to open the knife. For increased insensitivity to contamination, phosphor bronze washer was 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 armored cash register.
Handle - made of solid titanium coated black PVD has been personalized (custom) by adding a discreet graphic on the presentation side, an American flag motif called "Ghosted Flag" by the manufacturer. The so-called open-backed design without the typical backspacer, attached to each other with spacer sleeves for easy cleaning. Simple and reliable construction. The whole is complemented by a massive clip, of course, also made of titanium whose edges have been finished with black PVD coating, and the flat part anodized bronze.
The knife is supplied in a waterproof and dust-resistant - IP67 rated and impact-resistant (MIL-STD-810F) technical case from the American S3 Case Company. Made of high-impact S433 resin - one of the most durable materials available in the world.
It comes - cardboard box, S3 Case, Dog Tag and signed "Certificate of Creation and Authenticity".
