The knife has a sleek black G-10 handle, a titanium frame lock with a tumbled finish, and a D2 steel blade that has been coated with PVD for added durability. It belongs to the "187" series of folders, which is named after the 3/16" stock used in its construction. This series is Medford's more affordable option for those who want multiple Medford knives.
If you're saving up for a high-end custom MKT blade or waiting for the Praetorian Ti, then the 187 series is a great choice to keep you satisfied in the meantime. For the rest of us who want to stay within budget (and keep our significant others happy), this series offers a hand-made American knife with a rugged and uniquely American design. Each blade is completely one-of-a-kind.
To keep the price point affordable, there are no customizable options available for the 187DP model from Medford. This particular knife is a drop point style and is a true powerhouse within the 187 series. Its size is perfect for individuals with larger hands and it can handle a wide range of tasks that require a reliable knife. If you prefer full-sized folders that are lightweight, the 187 series is the way to go. The blade design is excellent for general utility cutting and the tip and forward belly are especially well-suited for skinning or other intricate cutting tasks.
