This Praetorian Slim has a tumbled tanto blade and faced/flamed handle with blue anodized spring. The Medford Praetorian is a sweet knife designed for the hardest use, but it's kind of huge, and Greg Medford himself heard our cries! The Praetorian Slim has come with all the rugged construction Medford knives are known for, and a similar design to the original Praetorian. The blade is made of CPM-S35VN.
