Frequently Asked Questions
What is the blade length of the Medford TFF-1?
The Medford TFF-1 has a 4" blade. This tumbled S35VN drop point blade is a full 4 inches with a stout 0.19" thickness, giving the TFF-1 the presence of a fixed blade in a folding, pocket-carry package.
Is S35VN a good blade steel for the Medford TFF-1?
Yes — the Medford TFF-1 uses CPM-S35VN, a premium American powder-metallurgy stainless steel prized for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. On the TFF-1, the S35VN blade wears a tumbled finish that hides scratches and scuffs from hard use, making it a low-maintenance, high-performance choice for EDC and tactical cutting.
What is a frame lock, and how does the Medford TFF-1 use it?
A frame lock uses a machined section of the knife's metal handle that flexes inward to wedge behind the blade tang when the knife is open. The Medford TFF-1 uses an integral titanium frame lock cut directly into its solid titanium handle, creating an extremely strong, simple, one-hand-operable lockup — a hallmark of Medford's overbuilt tactical designs.
Is the Medford TFF-1 a good tactical folding knife?
Yes — the Medford TFF-1 is purpose-built as a Tactical Folding Fighter. With a thick 0.19" S35VN drop point blade, full titanium construction, and a hard-use frame lock, the TFF-1 tackles demanding cutting tasks and heavy everyday carry, and its rugged build makes it one of the more capable tactical pocket knives you can carry.
