SRM Medal 255L-GQ Folding Knife – G10 handle and laminated 140Cr steel

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

The SRM Medal Collection is a series of compact folding EDC knives designed for people who value a small size without compromising on functionality. The knife is suitable for hiking, outdoor excursions, picnics, and everyday carry.

Small enough to carry with you at all times. Capable enough to replace a full-size knife in everyday situations.

Blade and Cutting Characteristics

The Medal series features a drop-point blade, suitable for cutting, fine shaping, and piercing. It performs reliably when cutting rope, opening packages, and handling small outdoor tasks.

• The blade is made of laminated 140Cr steel—similar in properties to S35VN
• Core hardness: HRC 61–63
• Specified hardness: HRC 58–60
• Blade length: 80 mm
• Blade thickness: 2.6 mm
• Total length: 191 mm
• Weight: 71 grams

Laminated 140Cr steel

140Cr steel is used in applications that require high hardness, wear resistance, and strength. Through a two-layer stainless steel cladding process, the blade achieves a balance between hardness, durability, and edge retention—characteristics comparable to those of S35VN.

All SRM blades undergo cryogenic treatment for improved edge retention, higher hardness, and corrosion resistance. The cryogenic sharpening process preserves hardness and results in a sharper, more durable cutting edge.

G10 handle—durability and a secure grip

The handle is made of G10—a composite of fiberglass and resin. The material is strong, wear-resistant, and ranks among the most durable on the market.

• Textured surface—prevents slipping in the hand
• Resistant to moisture and mechanical stress

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 hard phosphor bronze—ensuring smooth movement and proper blade alignment.

• Lock: Ambi-Lock—suitable for both right- and left-handed use
• When fully locked, a faint sound is heard, confirming that it is ready for use
• Mono-Chassis Liner—a design that ensures durability and reliable long-term operation
• Anti-loosening pivot—a mechanism that prevents the pivot from coming loose on its own; detachable

Clips and Positioning

Ambi-Clip (TFAC – Tool-Free Ambi Clip) allows for quick repositioning of the clamp without tools. The clip can be mounted on the left or right side.

• Equally comfortable for left- and right-handed people
• Changing the position does not require any additional tools
