Medford vs strider knives series#

Did the thickness number sound a little high? To put it in perspective, I have an old DPX Gear HEST-F, which has a comically thick blade- it’s. On paper, their specs sound fairly normal: 3.5” S35VN blade, overall length of 8.4”, and. The auto is $25 more at an MSRP of $675, and both are due out in April 2020. The flipper’s blade swings freely when the lock button is depressed, so if you want to wrist flick a $650 knife, you can. Both knives use a round plunge lock button near the pivot to unlock and manually close the blade. The flipper version with its sheepsfoot blade was nice and all, but it’s docile looking in comparison to the auto. When I slid off the safety and pressed the lock/go! button, a long, asymmetrical dagger with a false top edge swung out with a nice thwack sound.

Pretty much every Medford Knife is in permanent beast mode, and the Nosferatu series of knives are no exception. I apologize for my bad photography- I’m going to do a much better job next year! MEDFORD KNIFE & TOOL Nosferatu OTS Auto and Flipper My mission with these two SHOT articles is to not only give my fellow knife nerds a heads up on what’s in store for us in 2020, but since I actually got my hands on them, I’ll do my best to describe how they feel. If you missed it, here is a link to part one of our SHOT Show 2020 Coverage. I buy pretty much everything except fresh vegetables online, so I never really know how big knives are or how they feel until they arrive in my mailbox, so it was really neat to be able to see everything in person and ask questions.

Because of the internet in general (and Instagram in particular) most of them looked familiar, but I had never seen 99% of them in person. I went to the SHOT (Shooting Hunting Outdoors Trade) Show 2020 and the Las Vegas Custom Knife Show 2020 and saw literally thousands of knives.
