Description:
The Medford 187 DP Flame Tiger Striped Ti is a large pocket knife, made by Medford Knife & Tool in the United States. You open it with the thumb hole. The blade has a hollow grind on the D2 steel that was applied by hand. This is a unique feature: only few producers apply a hollow grind by hand. When opened, a solid framelock keeps the blade securely in place. Medford pressed the stop-pin in the blade. As a result, it symmetrically leans against the handle. This adds strength.
D2 is a tool steel that will always require maintenance and oil. Some budget knives use D2 as a cheap option with a rudimentary heat treatment. Medford, however, does whatever it can to turn D2 into an amazing type of steel with excellent qualities. So definitely not a budget option!
Each Medford knife is made by hand by talented knife makers. Individual differences therefore occur and make each knife unique.
