Detailed product description
Medford 187 DP MK002DPQ-39A5-TFCF-Q4 – American honesty in compact strength
The Medford 187 DP is a knife that perfectly captures the philosophy of Medford Knife & Tool – an honest piece of metal, hand-finished with a precision that commands respect. The “187” designation refers to the thickness of the material used for the blade – 0.187 inches, or approximately 4.75 mm of D2 steel. The result is a robust folding knife with surprisingly compact dimensions, combining the strength of a fixed blade with the practicality of an EDC model.
This specific model – MK002DPQ-39A5-TFCF-Q4 – represents the essence of Medford in its purest form.
