Gentleman Jack-1
Story
The Medford Gentleman Jack-1 was introduced as a departure from Medford Knife and Tool's signature over-built, hard-use knives. It was designed to be a more refined, slimmer, and elegant gentleman's folder, perfect for everyday carry in situations demanding a more discreet and classic aesthetic. Its design emphasizes timelessness and portability, allowing it to be easily slipped into a pocket while still maintaining the quality and craftsmanship expected from Medford.
This model aimed to cater to users seeking a dressier option without compromising on the robust build and premium materials that define the brand. It features a manual, nail-nick opening mechanism, aligning with traditional slip joint designs, and is constructed with high-quality materials to ensure durability and a sophisticated appearance.

History
The Medford Gentleman Jack-1 was introduced around 2020 as Medford Knife & Tool's first slipjoint folder, offering a more traditional and gentlemanly option compared to their usual tactical offerings. It featured CPM-S35VN blade steel and titanium handles, often with various finishes and bolster options. The model was available through various retailers like eknives.com and Blade HQ. While specific launch pricing is not readily available, it was positioned as a premium folder.
It appears to have been succeeded by the Gentleman Jack GJ-2, which features S45VN blade steel and slightly different dimensions, indicating that the GJ-1 is likely discontinued.
