First Impressions – Unboxing the SRM Medal

The SRM Medal arrives in a clean, professional box that reflects SRM’s attention to detail. The box design features a modern aesthetic, complete with SRM's logo, sharp fonts, and contrasting colors that give a hint at the premium nature of what's inside.

Inside the box, you’re treated to more than just the knife. SRM includes a cleaning cloth, stickers, and well-organized packaging to ensure your knife stays pristine from the moment you open it. These extra touches are always appreciated by collectors and first-time buyers alike.

Design & Build – A Blend of Modern and Classic

The SRM Medal is available in five unique variants, giving users the chance to pick the finish that best suits their style. The model we’re reviewing features a green aluminum handle with beautiful rosewood inlays, delivering a fusion of modern materials and traditional accents.

• Handle Length: 4.29"

• Blade Length: 3.23"

• Overall Length: 7.52"

The handle design offers a solid grip while remaining slim enough for comfortable pocket carry. There's no lanyard hole, which helps maintain a cleaner aesthetic, but some users may miss the option for customization.

Pocket Clip & Locking Mechanism

Yes, there’s a pocket clip – and it’s reversible! Whether you’re a lefty or righty, the SRM Medal has you covered with its Ambi-Lock system. The lock feels sturdy, smooth, and intuitive, making it easy to operate one-handed – a big plus for EDC usability.

Blade Specs – Practical, Sharp, and Stylish

Let’s talk steel. The SRM Medal uses 14C28N, a high-performance stainless steel known for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance – perfect for everyday use.

• Blade Style: Wharncliffe – excellent for precision cutting and utility tasks.

• Blade Grind: Flat – offers a great balance between strength and sharpness.

• Finish: Black PVD – not just sleek, but also durable and resistant to wear.

The blade deploys via dual thumb studs, and yes – jimping is present, providing extra control for detailed tasks.
