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

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lock does the SRM Medal 255L-GQ use?

The knife features the Ambi-Lock system—a blade lock suitable for both right- and left-handed use. The Mono-Chassis Liner construction further reinforces the mechanism and ensures reliable and smooth operation over the long term. When fully locked, a distinctive click is heard, confirming that the blade is properly secured.

What type of steel is used in the blade of the SRM Medal 255L-GQ?

The blade is made of laminated 140Cr steel, whose properties are similar to those of S35VN. It is laminated with two additional layers of stainless steel, which provides a balance between hardness, durability, and edge retention. The core hardness is HRC 61–63, and the overall hardness per specification is HRC 58–60. All SRM blades undergo cryogenic treatment for improved corrosion resistance and longer-lasting sharpness.

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

Yes. The knife is designed specifically for EDC—everyday carry. It weighs just 71 grams, and its total length is 191 mm. Its compact size makes it convenient to carry in a pocket or attached to a belt with the Ambi-Clip double-sided clip. It’s suitable for hiking, picnics, outings, and a variety of everyday tasks.

What is the handle made of, and why was that material chosen?

The handle is made of G10—a composite material consisting of fiberglass and resin. G10 is known for its high strength, wear resistance, and moisture resistance. The ribbed finish prevents the knife from slipping in your hand, even in wet conditions. The material ranks among the most durable options available on the knife market.

How does the Ambi-Clip on the SRM Medal 255L-GQ work?

The Ambi-Clip (TFAC – Tool-Free Ambi Clip) allows for quick repositioning without additional tools. It can be mounted on the left or right side, making it equally convenient for left- and right-handed users. This feature is especially practical when you’re on the go and don’t have access to tools.

What kind of bearings does the opening mechanism use?

The knife uses ceramic ball bearings, complemented by bearings made of high-quality hardened steel and hard phosphor bronze. This combination ensures exceptionally smooth and easy opening with the thumb or middle finger using the thumb stud. The blade is always properly centered thanks to the precise bearing system.

What is cryogenic treatment for SRM knives?

Cryogenic treatment is a special heat treatment process applied to all SRM blades. The goal is to improve edge retention, increase hardness, and enhance corrosion resistance. When combined with the cooled sharpening process, the blade retains its characteristics during long-term use and stays sharper for longer compared to blades that have not undergone this treatment.
