Thorn

The Medford Thorn is a compact, robust fixed-blade neck knife designed for deep concealable carry and utilitarian use. It embodies Medford Knife & Tool's reputation for producing 'overbuilt' and durable knives. The design emphasizes simplicity and strength, making it a reliable backup tool. Its thick blade and sturdy construction suggest it was intended for hard-use scenarios where reliability is paramount.

The knife features a distinctive reverse tanto blade style with a chisel grind, offering exceptional piercing capabilities while maintaining a strong tip. The handle scales, typically made from G10, provide a secure and comfortable grip, even in challenging conditions. The overall design reflects a focus on practical functionality and ruggedness, characteristic of Medford's offerings for tactical and everyday carry applications.

The Medford Thorn was introduced around 2020 and was available for a relatively short period before being discontinued. It was sold by various retailers, including Blade HQ and KnifeCenter, with an approximate launch price of $180-$190. The knife was offered in different handle colors, such as black and coyote brown G10. It is no longer in production and is considered an archived/discontinued model by retailers.
