New unidentified knife

[scubisino]

This was a gift from my sister. This knife must be a copy, but I can't identify the victim. Some says that is a Shirogorov copy other says Medford copy.
I checked in the web but can't find anything. The knife is a beast, almost 4 inches blade, 0.15 thick, total length 8.6 inches. Ball bearing pivot, G10 scale. Anodized pocket clip. The smoothest folder I own. Perfectly centered, fit and finish flawless. Blade steel is 9cr18mov. Scary sharp out of the box. If you know what is the original knife, please let me know.

Oh that pocket clip sounds dangerous. Doesn't look like any Shiro or Medford I'd ever seen, who told you that lol. Then again sorta like a midi blade shape. But heh not really.

Try to find LuvThemKnives on IG. He did a review of one recently on YT, but I don't see it anymore.

I checked the Medford web page but I can´t find anything like this.. even in the discontinued section..

I'm not an expert with Shiro or Medford, but it looks more like a Medford to me.

I totally dig the design. Not crazy about the blade steel or that silly pocket clip shape/orientation. But the overall look is really cool. I'd be interested to know who makes it.

Doesn't say it's a model of anything in particular.

One page says 8cr13mov also. One page says benchmade and the other Medford. They just use these terms for searching and hopefully selling

Looks alot like one of Clyde Chancellor's designs, the Hornet i think?

 

[Icehawk]

Not a Medford copy, it has literally none of the signatures signs in design or construction. There are fakes of Medfords though.

 

[GIRLYmann]

Where did you find that GM??

the trick phrase was "...Imitate Medford..."
its a chinese something. so figure it might have features closer to a Reate

You're not allowed to link to non-Bladeforums supporting dealers ... just a heads up before a mod comes along. I recommend editing your post!
