Used. No fall damage. Has the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the automatic Smooth Criminal, not the manual flipper version. Button lock, push button fire, 3 inch S35VN drop point on a hard anodized aluminum chassis. See the photos for the handle color and blade finish before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Smooth Criminal was the knife that got Medford into aluminum chassis button locks, and the auto is the version that costs the most new and shows up used the least. Greg Medford builds these in Phoenix and the shop does not appear to believe in thin material. Better than a half inch thick through the handle, 0.15 inch stock behind a 3 inch blade, and it sits in the hand like something you could drive a fence post with. That is the whole idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS35VN is the sensible steel in the Medford lineup. It takes a good edge, holds it through actual use, and sharpens without a diamond plate and an afternoon. On a short drop point with that much material under it, you have a blade that will not complain about anything reasonable you ask it to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one goes to the person who wants an American made automatic that feels substantial, at a number well below what Medford charges for them new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic, push button fire with a button lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCPM-S35VN drop point, 0.15\" stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard anodized aluminum chassis, 0.54\" thick overall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in Phoenix, Arizona by Greg Medford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriced far under Medford's current number on these\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Used, trade in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Medford Knife and Tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Smooth Criminal Auto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: Greg Medford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 7.0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed Length: 4.0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: CPM-S35VN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Shape: Drop point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Width: 1.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Hard anodized aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Thickness: 0.187\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Thickness: 0.54\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock: Button lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction: Automatic, push button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket Clip: Tip up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFall Damage: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA (Phoenix, Arizona)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout The Back Door\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Back Door is where trade ins, returns, blems, demos, and one-offs go.
