Medford Knife & Tool USMC Fighter Flipper Tactical Frame Lock Knife - 4.25" CPM-S35VN Satin Drop Point Blade - Titanium Frame Lock Handle with Integral Titanium Pommel (MD204STQ01TM / MD204STQ)
Product Description
Inspired by the iconic WWII utility combat knives issued to the United States Marine Corps and re-imagined by veteran Marine Greg Medford, the Medford Knife & Tool USMC Fighter Flipper (MD204STQ01TM) brings heavy-duty tactical overbuilding to an elite everyday carry folding platform. Handcrafted in Phoenix, Arizona, this massive folder replaces traditional fixed blade bulk with a precision-machined, titanium-driven frame lock chassis engineered to withstand brutal field use without compromise.
The centerpiece of the USMC Fighter Flipper is its 4.25-inch drop point blade forged from heavy-duty 0.190" (3/16") CPM-S35VN powder metallurgy stainless steel. Heat-treated to 58-60 HRC, CPM-S35VN delivers extraordinary edge retention, micro-grain impact toughness, and high corrosion protection. The blade features a clean satin finish, a deep weight-relieving fuller groove, and an aggressive swedge aligned for maximum thrusting penetration and cutting leverage. Deployment is smooth and fast using either the ambidextrous flipper tab or thumb fuller cutout.
Built for an unshakeable grip under dynamic field conditions, the 5.25-inch closed titanium handle frame features retro-milled traction grooves and an integral titanium pommel designed for blunt-force field impact. Locked up by a thick, rock-solid titanium frame lock mechanism, the knife provides complete confidence during heavy prying or chopping tasks. Completed with a custom milled titanium tip-up pocket clip featuring a pressed-in ball for effortless pocket draw, the USA-made Medford USMC Fighter Flipper ships in a waterproof tactical case.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
Forged from thick 0.190" CPM-S35VN stainless steel, the USMC Fighter Flipper offers world-class resistance against corrosion and surface wear. While CPM-S35VN requires minimal anti-rust maintenance, keeping the pivot area clean and applying a drop of quality synthetic oil periodically ensures smooth flipper deployment. The titanium handle scales, frame lock bar, and titanium pommel can be easily wiped clean with a soft microfiber cloth to remove field oils or dirt.
