Detailed product description
Medford The San PS MK1203TQ-10LE-SPQ3-Q4 – Power Without Compromise
Medford The San PS MK1203TQ-10LE-SPQ3-Q4 is not just a knife. It is a statement of durability, strength, and pure purposefulness, born from the American philosophy of a no-nonsense approach to construction. This model from Greg Medford’s workshop embodies the ideal balance between the brutality of a survival tool and the precision of a professional working knife.
Every detail, from the massive full tang construction to the ergonomically shaped OD Green G-10 handle, was designed for users who refuse to settle for compromise. The blade made from premium CPM 3V steel delivers exceptional toughness, high resistance to breakage, and edge retention loss – exactly what you need in the field, where failure is not an option.
The tumbled blade finish gives a subtle satin effect that not only looks elegant, but also hides scratches and fingerprints. The entire knife feels compact, robust, and perfectly balanced – like a companion that will never let you down.

Key parameters
Key benefits
- Full tang construction – the knife is made from a single piece of material, with zero chance of joint failure.
- Tumbled finish – elegant appearance, hides fingerprints and scuffs, reduces glare.
- Leather sheath – a classic that protects while complementing the knife’s rugged character.
- American handmade production – precision, quality, and attention to detail.
Possible limitations
- Higher weight (approx. 218 g) – noticeable when carried on a belt.
- Fixed construction – cannot be folded, a sheath is required.
- Robust blade (10.8 cm) – excellent for performance, less suitable for fine detail work.
Maintenance and care
Clean and dry the blade after each use. The Tumbled Finish does not require polishing – its purpose is to remain functional, not glossy. The G-10 handle can be safely rinsed with water, but avoid strong chemicals.
- 🔪 To maintain the edge, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF
