SRM Medal 255L-CB Folding EDC Knife – Compact and Reliable

The SRM Medal 255L-CB is a compact folding knife from the Medal Collection series, designed for people who want a small size without compromising on functionality. Weighing just 64 grams, it’s ideal for everyday carry.

This knife is ideal for hiking, outdoor excursions, picnics, and all kinds of everyday tasks. It’s small enough to carry with you at all times, yet versatile enough to replace a full-size outdoor knife.

Blade made of laminated 140Cr steel

The blade is made of laminated 140Cr steel—similar in properties to S35VN. Laminating two layers of stainless steel achieves an excellent balance between hardness, durability, and edge retention.

Core hardness: HRC 61–63
Blade hardness: HRC 58–60
Blade shape: drop-point
Blade length: 80 mm
Blade thickness: 2.6 mm

All SRM blades undergo cryogenic treatment and a gentle heat treatment. The result is improved edge retention, high hardness, and corrosion resistance. Sharpening is performed using a cooling process that preserves the steel’s properties.

Carbon fiber handle—lightweight and durable

The handle is made of carbon fiber. The material is both extremely lightweight and very strong. Carbon fiber ranks among the hardest synthetic materials used in the manufacture of high-end knives.

Opening and Locking Mechanism

The blade opens quickly and smoothly thanks to the thumb stud and ceramic ball bearings. The bearings are made of high-quality hardened steel and hardened phosphor bronze—ensuring that the blade is always properly centered.

Conclusion: Ambi-Lock—works equally well for both left- and right-handed users
When fully locked, a faint sound is heard, confirming that it is ready for use
Mono-Chassis Liner design—stronger, smoother, and more reliable lock operation
Anti-loosening pivot—a mechanism that prevents the pivot from loosening on its own during long-term use; disassemblable

Clips and Carrying

The Tool-Free Ambi Clip (TFAC) allows you to quickly adjust the clip's position without tools. The clip can be mounted on the left or right side—convenient for both left- and right-handed users.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the laminated 140Cr steel in the SRM Medal 255L-CB so special?

Laminated 140Cr steel consists of a hard core encased in two layers of stainless steel. This provides properties comparable to the well-known S35VN steel—a good balance between hardness, durability, and edge retention. The hardness of the core is HRC 61–63, and that of the entire blade is HRC 58–60. All SRM blades undergo cryogenic treatment, which further improves edge retention and corrosion resistance.

Is the SRM Medal 255L-CB suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the knife is designed specifically for EDC—everyday carry. It weighs just 64 grams, and its total length is 191 mm. Its compact size makes it convenient for a pocket or bag. The Tool Free Ambi Clip allows for quick, tool-free adjustment, making it easy to carry in a variety of situations.

What is the Ambi-Lock locking mechanism, and why is it convenient?

Ambi-Lock is a locking system that works equally well for both left- and right-handed users. When fully locked, a faint click is heard, confirming that the blade is secured and ready for use. The Mono-Chassis Liner construction contributes to a more robust and smooth operation of the mechanism. SRM has been developing similar locking systems for many years, and precision is a key priority in production.

Why is a carbon fiber handle an advantage in a knife?

Carbon—carbon fiber—is a material that is both very light and exceptionally strong. It ranks among the hardest synthetic materials used in knife manufacturing. A carbon fiber handle reduces the knife’s overall weight without compromising strength. That is precisely why carbon fiber is commonly found in high-end knives.

What is an anti-loosening pivot, and why is it important?

The anti-loosening pivot is a special mechanism that prevents the blade pivot from loosening during long-term use. It ensures the stability of the blade assembly even after repeated opening and closing. The mechanism is disassemblable, which makes knife maintenance easier. This is an important feature for knives intended for regular use.

How does the Tool-Free Ambi Clip work, and who is it designed for?

The Tool-Free Ambi Clip—or TFAC—is a clip whose position can be adjusted without any tools. It can be mounted on either the left or right side of the handle. This makes it equally convenient for left- and right-handed users. Changing the position is quick, which is especially practical when you’re on the go.

What outdoor tasks can the SRM Medal 255L-CB perform?

This knife is ideal for hiking, picnics, and outdoor excursions. The 80-mm drop-point blade is suitable for cutting rope, opening packages, preparing food, and other small outdoor tasks. The ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth and quick opening with your thumb or middle finger. Its compact size and light weight make it a practical choice for anyone who spends time outdoors.
