The **Medford M-48** is an homage to the American M-48 Patton combat tank from the 50s. The handle has a milled pattern that matches the tracks of this tank. Greg Medford designed the M-48 as an EDC knife. It is suitable both for first responders and for Medford enthusiasts who prefer a slim pocket knife. 100% made in the United States, from American materials, by a veteran-run company. 

The large blade made from CPM S45VN steel is hollow-ground by hand. This is a unique feature: only few producers apply a hollow grind by hand. Medford, however, took it one step further by giving the M-48 their new Magnus Edged Tip technology. This is a grind where you don't take away much material at the tip. The result is a sturdy tip, despite the slim blade.

CPM S45VN is a premium, stainless type of steel. For years this has been one of the most popular types of steel on the market. For a stainless steel, it is fairly tough and relatively easy to sharpen.

You easily open the blade with the flipper. When opened, a solid framelock keeps the blade securely in place. The handle has an overtravel stop that prevents you from pushing the frame lock out too far. Medford pressed the stop-pin in the blade. As a result, it symmetrically leans against the handle. This adds strength.

This version is enhanced with a blue anodized aluminium handle. There is a deep-carry pocket clip at the end of the handle. The clip can also be turned for left-handed use. A feature you don't often see on a Medford knife.

Each Medford knife is made by hand by talented knife makers. Individual differences therefore occur and make each knife unique. It takes approximately one year for Medford to ship their knives. Knives that are listed as in stock on our website are available and can be shipped immediately. So make sure you don't miss out: it might take a while for new stock to arrive!

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
