Medford TFF-1, Tumbled S45VN Blade, BB & Gray, Jasmine Fade Titanium, Flamed Hardware pocket knife

The Medford TFF-1 is a very large pocket knife, designed by Greg Medford. TFF stands for Tactical Fighting Folder. For this design, Medford used as few parts as possible. As such, the construction is very simple, which means there’s less possibility of the knife breaking. With a total length of 24 cm, this truly is quite a large knife. Especially suitable for people with large hands, or for use while wearing gloves.



Blade made of CPM S45VN steel
The blade of this Medford TFF-1 is made of CPM S45VN steel. This is a premium type of stainless steel made by Crucible Industries in the US. S45VN retains its sharpness well, is pretty tough and very corrosion resistant. CPM S45VNwas developed as a successor to CPM S35VN. S45VN retains its sharpness even better than S35VN, and is even more resistant to corrosion too.



The ‘stonewash’ process was chosen for the finish of this blade. The stonewash process involves the blade being placed inside a drum with ceramic stones, or media, and then vibrated or tumbled for several hours. The result is a finish that looks precisely polished or roughened depending on the version. The advantage of stonewashing, however, is that signs of use are much less noticeable. That makes it a popular choice for knives that see a lot of use.



Titanium handle

The handle of this Medford TFF-1 is made of titanium and measures 14.1 cm in length. Titanium is a fantastic high-tech material. It is an excellent choice for the handle of a pocket knife for several reasons: titanium is very strong, lightweight and it is flexible. Moreover, titanium can be machined very precisely and a wide range of different finishes are possible. To be exact, the handle is made of a titanium alloy. Small amounts of aluminium and vanadium are added to pure titanium to make it even more suitable for use as a pocket knife handle.
