Rules, please read.

First post or PM gets it, no email or text, must be a valid forum member, please don't post on my wall
Prices include UPS or USPS shipping (USA only) and Fees (PayPal G&S)
I will give an automatic 5% discount for F&F no fee to me payment (PP, Zelle, Venmo) with NO NOTES


Per the new BF Best Practices, I am more than happy to verify who I am and that I have the items in any reasonable way, Goods and Services is always an option for my buyers.
If you are outside the US contact me for a quote and to see if I am okay shipping to your location. Canadians can commit to buy with the understanding shipping will be more.

No trades

I will not hold it based on a conditional commitment. Example: "I will take it if...", this is not fair to other buyers.
Happy to entertain solid and reasonable offers or negotiate multiples via PM, not in this thread, but the first commitment gets it.
Important note: I will not be dropping prices in the thread. If you are waiting for reduced prices your best bet is to reach out to discuss. I am happy to listen to offers and package prices.

Descriptions are thorough describing condition visible by my eye, in a well-lit workshop. I can send more pictures, texting will be fastest if you send a phone #.

Thanks for looking!


Colonial Ti
This is the full titanium version. Knife is essentially new and unused but had a thick edge when I got it, so it's been professionally thinned to about 15 degrees with a near mirror polish, then a 20 degree micro bevel was added for durability. Very sharp and easy to maintain. This knife has "GW III MKT" engraved on the clip. I was able to verify the story I was given that in the past Greg Medford has thrown George Washington Parties for dealers and VIP's, this was given out as a gift at the 3rd one. A neat piece of Medford history in an increasingly hard to find configuration. Blade appears centered to me, lockup is early and very solid with smooth action, thumb flicks nicely. I do not have the original box or paperwork as it was purchased second hand.
***SOLD*** $425, $375 - Reduced to $350 ***SOLD***



Genesis Ti Obsidian

This is the full thickness ti version with 1/4" blade, finished in Medfords UBER rare Obsidian DLC. Very few knives were ever finished this way as it is a much more in depth and expensive process than the matte DLC they use most of the time. The blade and scale slabs are Obsidian DLC and the hardware is flamed bronze titanium. The pictures are incredibly difficult to get right (especially when you suck at photography) so I've included a couple to show the reflection. Pocketed a couple of times and despite the specs the Genesis Ti is very pocket friendly. As new condition and possibly one of a kind configuration. I am the first owner and it includes everything shipped from Medford.

$1350, $1250 - Reduced to $1150

Praetorian Ti
The OG Praetorian with full 1/4" thick blade. This is an amazing combo and one you will likely never see another with the same finishes. I showed it to Greg and Geoff at Blade Show last year and they hadn't seen one like it either. Vulcan blade finish with satin rose gold anodized scales, with the edges and relief's done in cement. Perfect action that's buttery smooth, rock solid early lock engagement and blade is centered when closed. This has seen some pocket time but not cut much if anything because I always carries a companion smaller blade. There is a little hazing around the show side stop pin but it's under anodizing and I think is some minor residual from the stone wash before it was satin finished. only visible in certain light. This is sure to be the conversation piece at almost any gathering of knife nuts, it always has been for me. I am the original owner and it includes everything from Medford.
***SOLD*** $1350, $1200 - Reduced to $1100 ***SOLD***
