Medford On Belay Frame Lock Knife MK038SPQ-36
Experience unparalleled strength, precision and confidence with the Medford On Belay Frame Lock Knife. Handcrafted in Medford Knife & Tool’s Arizona workshop, this rugged single-action folder combines top-tier materials with masterful design to conquer every cutting challenge with ease. From the moment you cradle its ergonomically contoured, black-anodized titanium handle, you’ll feel the perfect marriage of comfort and control. The solid heft reassures you that this tool won’t let you down when the stakes are high.
At the heart of the On Belay lies a 4.125-inch drop point blade forged from tumbled D2 tool steel—renowned for its rock-solid durability and razor-sharp edge retention. Whether you’re slicing rope on a climbing wall, prepping food at camp, or performing precision tasks in the field, the hollow grind delivers effortless, clean cuts. A stonewash finish masks scratches and hides wear, so your blade stays looking as sharp as its performance trip after trip.
Deployment is lightning quick and intuitive. An elongated thumb hole teamed with a partial flipper allows for smooth, one-handed opening—just flick your wrist and feel the satisfying snap as the blade locks into place. The titanium frame lock then secures the blade firmly, giving you unwavering confidence under pressure.
Thoughtful carry options make the On Belay as versatile as it is formidable. A reversible, tip-up titanium pocket clip rides low and discreetly on your right-side carry, while a lanyard hole lets you attach custom paracord or beads for easy retrieval. At a balanced 9.54 ounces, this knife offers solid substance without slowing you down.
Built for the everyday carry enthusiast, the backcountry adventurer and the tactical professional alike, the Medford On Belay Frame Lock Knife refuses to compromise. Every component—from the ergonomic handle to the high-performance blade—works in harmony to elevate your cutting game. Equip yourself with a tool that’s as relentless and reliable as you are.
