The Medford 187 Series is a line of titanium frame lock folders from Medford Knife & Tool, made in Phoenix, Arizona and named for the 3/16 inch stock used throughout. After a long hiatus, the 187 DPT is back in S90V with a full titanium frame, as a special run Medford made exclusively for DLT Trading.
The 187 DPT runs a 3.75 inch S90V blade on full titanium handles, 9.375 inches open, with a frame lock. This DLT exclusive run covers a wide spread of looks, from blue titanium and tumbled titanium to sculpted builds like Peaks and Valleys, bronze lightning, and a PVD ghost American flag, with tumbled, PVD, or DLC blades. S90V brings very high wear resistance and long edge retention to a stainless, compared in our knife steel guide.
Medford built the 187 series as its lower price point folder, a hand made American knife for collectors who want more than one Medford. The 187 DP shares the DPT's 3.75 inch blade in D2, in PVD with blue titanium or tumbled with OD green G-10. The smaller 187 F Flipper carries a 3 inch S90V blade.
