Medford knives are amazing edged items. They are monster large, made of the best steels and expertly crafted entirely in the USA. These are the tools you need to get real work done - be that work in the combat arena, law enforcement, in your workshop or yard. They are a tactical knife company based in Arizona and the construction quality is really second to none. Look to Medford Knives for innovative combat knives and every day carry pocket knives that are world-class in materials and workmanship and will serve for generations.
The "187" series of folders, named for the 3/16" stock used throughout, is Medford's lower price point offering for those knife guys who want more than one MKT folder. If you are saving for the penultimate custom MKT blade or holding out for the Praetorian Ti, then we have something to tie you over. For the rest of us (who want to remain married), this series gets you a handmade American knife with a rugged uniqueness that is truly American.
The 187 DP is a drop point juggernaut in the 187 series. The size of this knife is just perfect for guys with big hands and nearly any job that could benefit from a knife. If you like full-sized folders with very little weight the 187 series delivers. This blade design is awesome for general utility cutting tasks and the tip and forward belly are ideal for skinning or finite cutting tasks.
