Air Jack G-10
Story
The Medford Air Jack G-10 is a lightweight and elegant slip joint folder, a variation of Medford's popular Gentleman Jack. Designed for everyday carry, it distinguishes itself with G-10 handle scales that significantly reduce its weight, making it an unobtrusive companion for any pocket. Despite its smaller stature, it retains the robust quality and precision synonymous with Medford Knife & Tool. The knife features a clean, drop point blade, often with dual fullers for easy opening, and a high hollow grind for excellent slicing performance. Its construction emphasizes American-made craftsmanship and attention to detail, making it a sophisticated choice for those who appreciate a blend of traditional design and modern materials.
The design intent behind the Air Jack G-10 was to offer a more carry-friendly version of the Gentleman Jack, catering to users who prioritize reduced weight without compromising on durability or cutting capability. The use of G-10 for the handle not only achieves this weight reduction but also provides a secure, textured grip. This model embodies Medford's commitment to producing high-performance knives that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, suitable for both formal occasions and daily utility. It represents a thoughtful evolution of a classic design, adapting it for a broader range of users and carry preferences.

It was designed to offer a lighter alternative by replacing the titanium handle scales of its predecessor with G-10. At launch, the MSRP was around $325-$340. It was available with CPM-S35VN blade steel and G-10 handles in various colors, including Black, OD Green, and Coyote.
