It's from VanMadeWorkshop on Etsy. Cool style, well made but the fit is a bit stiff especially with the paracord to hold it.

Such a sweet knife, that lanyard really makes the anodizing pop@Dcdavis , that looks just like the underside of my dump trailer, only way less rusty.
Today, it's Sigma Sunday with my first of three Andrey Biryukov knives, handsomely embellished by our friend Chip.

Medfords are intersting. Some loosen up soon, others take awhile.Still trying to break in the Slim Midi...

I don’t mind the thumb and middle finger opening, but disengaging that lock bar deforms my thumb every time.
Im not sure if a spa day would help that.

I think that's just part of the "charm" on Medfords, Striders, and similar sharpened pry bars. That's why I'm more of a Shiro guy despite being totally in love with the aesthetics of Medford, Strider, and Direware

They are beautiful knives but mine had horrible lock stick so back to DLT it went and never seen it again. Tried a Medford slim praetorian much better but still not to my satisfaction. Went with a Strider AR .75 and now I’m a happy camper. The pry bar is still breaking in but so much better then the aboveStill trying to break in the Slim Midi...

No lock stick, just a very stiff spring and access to the frame lock is difficult.

I know exactly what your experiencing which was the same as the Medford Slim praetorian I traded it in for with no lock stick but a lock bar that would send your thumb crying for mercy.
