The **Medford USMC Fighter Flipper** is a cool pocket knife, based on the famous fixed USMC-fighters knife. Greg Medford turned this iconic design into a decent pocket knife. You open it with the flipper, or the royal thumb slot. The large handle is made from titanium and like with the fixed version the handle has been enhanced with grooves. In between the titanium scales you will find a titanium backspacer which is placed on the handle like a type of 'buttcap'. According to Medford this is extremely difficult and expensive to produce, because it is difficult to clamp it in a milling machine and because the tolerances are very strict.



The blade is made from CPM S35VN steel. The hollow grind on the blade 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 in place. Medford pressed the stop-pin in the blade. As a result it symmetrically leans against the handle. This adds strength.



This version of the Medford USMC Fighter Flipper is enhanced with a handle with a black PVD coasting, with bronze pin striping. The blade is enhanced with a stonewashed (tumbled) finish. The hardware and pocket clip contain a bronze anodized finish.



Each Medford knife is made by hand by talented knife makers. Individual differences therefore occur and make each knife unique. Knives that are available on our website are in stock and can immediately be shipped. Be there in time: 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).
