Description
Medford Midi Marauder – 3.25" S45VN Drop Point Tactical Folding Knife (USA Made)
The Medford Midi Marauder is an American-made tactical folding knife that packs Medford's overbuilt, hard-use DNA into a more pocket-friendly size. It pairs a 3.25" tumbled CPM-S45VN drop point blade with a brushed-and-flamed titanium handle in Medford's striking "Galaxy" anodization, finished with flamed titanium hardware, a bronze-anodized spring, and a flamed titanium pocket clip. The integral titanium frame lock delivers the rock-solid lockup Medford is known for, and an ambidextrous thumb slot opens the blade one-handed. Machined 100% in-house at Medford's Phoenix, Arizona shop, the Midi Marauder is a serious titanium pocket knife for EDC and tactical carry. Going Gear is an authorized Medford dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the blade length of the Medford Midi Marauder?
The Medford Midi Marauder has a 3.25" blade. This tumbled CPM-S45VN drop point blade rides on a 4.37" closed frame (about 7.6" overall when open), making the Midi Marauder a compact but stout hard-use folder at roughly 6.4 oz.
Is S45VN a good blade steel for the Medford Midi Marauder?
Yes — the Medford Midi Marauder uses CPM-S45VN, a premium American powder-metallurgy stainless steel and a direct upgrade to S35VN. It offers excellent edge retention with improved toughness and corrosion resistance, so the Midi Marauder's blade resists chipping and staining under hard use while taking and holding a keen edge.
What is a frame lock, and how does the Medford Midi Marauder 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 Midi Marauder 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.
How is the Midi Marauder different from the full-size Medford Marauder?
The Medford Midi Marauder is the scaled-down version of Medford's Marauder. With a 3.25" blade and 4.37" closed length, the Midi Marauder carries and pockets more easily than the full-size Marauder while keeping the same thick titanium build, integral frame lock, and hard-use character.
Is the Medford Midi Marauder a good EDC and tactical folding knife?
Yes — the Medford Midi Marauder is built for everyday carry and tactical use. Its full titanium construction, frame lock, and stout S45VN drop point blade let the Midi Marauder handle demanding cutting tasks, while its trimmer 3.25" size makes it one of the more carry-friendly tactical pocket knives in Medford's lineup.
