Medford USMC FF Black DLC Titanium, Black HW/Clip, Black DLC S45VN by Greg Medford (MK2044TQ-30PV-TFCF-PP)
- USMC Fighter Flipper Black DLC Titanium, Black HW/Clip, Black DLC modeled after the iconic US Marine Corps knife from MKT with a handcrafted concave cut. A giant among folders, unafraid of any task that even the Apocalypse may set before it!

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.
USMC Fighter Flipper Black DLC Titanium, Black HW/Clip, Black DLC is a large men's folding knife that's as comfortable on the job as it is in your pocket when you're walking around town. There's really a lot going on in this design: retro-style Handle milling, drop-point blade, integrated head, and a unique clip to hook onto the edge of your pocket. The hollow grind on the blade has been crafted by hand - a rarity in the knife industry, achieved by only a select few manufacturers capable of executing such precision. There really is NOTHING like the USMC Fighter Flipper in the world of knives. If you're going to chop, stab and smash something with this beast in your hand, use caution!
Greg Medford's idea was to create the most reliable knives imaginable while retaining their beauty and adding the “soul” of hand finishing.
CPM S45VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best blade steels. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy/ Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. The improved strength of CPM S45VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most scratch and abrasion resistant coatings that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.
Blade - solid with Drop Point profile coated with black DLC coating. The handcrafted concave grinds give excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. The striking embossing increases the strength, we use them to open the knife. We can also use the flipper flipper, which when opened forms a guard to protect our hand, For increased insensitivity to contamination, phosphor bronze washers were 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 has been coated with a black DLC coating. The massive head at the back of the Handle is responsible for balance and balance, and can also be used as an improvised hammer or glass breaker. The whole is complemented by a unique in form clip, also made of titanium, of course. The screws, like the clip, are dyed black.
Included - cardboard packaging, nylon pouch and signed “Certificate of Creation and Authenticity”.
