History
The Medford Praetorian Ti was introduced around 2015, as evidenced by forum discussions from October and November of that year. It quickly became a flagship model for Medford Knife & Tool, known for its robust construction and premium materials. Over its production run, various blade steels, finishes, and handle configurations were offered, allowing for a degree of customization. In 2024, Greg Medford announced the "sunsetting" of the larger Praetorian models, including the Praetorian Ti. This decision led to a final "Ti Vault" offering in June 2024, featuring some of the last available handles, which sold out rapidly worldwide, marking the official discontinuation of the model.
