    Medford Micro Praetorian Blue


    Description

    The Medford Micro Praetorian is two thirds the size of the standard Praetorian G/T. This superbly engineered knife offers the same blade and scale thickness as it's larger counterpart but with a smaller frame yet no less the power. If you're looking for a smaller version of the Praetorian G/T you already own, or just want a smaller chunky folder, this knife is definitely for you!
    This version features a D2 blade with a black oxide finish. The handle is a combination of anodized blue finish on the front scale and tumbled finish on the back scale with an incorporated Titanium pocket clip and glass breaker.
    It is supplied in an airtight hard case.

    It's because of the name. Medford.

    Apparently they do limited runs and have gained a little notoriety. So a knife that should be roughly €60 - €100 is now nearly times that.

    Frankly i don't see it. I've seen knives by John Reck, Gil Hibbons, etc. that to me would be far more appealing for a hell of a lot less but still of exceptional quality.

    FS!! Yes a nice well made blade,nothing stunning mind,apart from using a lot of titanium which is hard to machine but absolutely NOT worth that money.
    Just for comparison thats about the price of two new Ruger 10/22 rifles,or a very decent 2nd hand CF rifle with a 100 rounds and a so so scope.You would be kicking yourself and deserve a kicking if you paid that much for what is essentially an everyday carry knife,and lost it somehow.
    Think the most i've ever paid in that categoy for a knife was 150 usd,I was given a present of a 225 usd knife and it does the same job without such a sheer price tag.

    If you go downstairs in Arnotts department store in dublin, there have a display of Japanese chefs knives, they are all around the price of the one in the picture above. 700-800 euros no problem.
