SRM Medal 255L-MN – 3.2" Stonewashed 10Cr15CoMoV Drop Point Pocket Knife
The SRM Medal 255L-MN is a compact crossbar-lock EDC folder with a 3.2" stonewashed 10Cr15CoMoV drop point blade and warm brown Micarta scales. SRM built the Medal series around a light-weight mono-chassis liner — a single molded liner in place of two separate metal plates — which makes the SRM Medal 255L-MN stronger and smoother through the lock cycle than a conventional two-plate build.
Ambidextrous thumb studs riding on a ceramic ball bearing pivot open the SRM Medal 255L-MN one-handed with either hand, and the crossbar Ambi-Lock lets you close it the same way without putting a finger in the blade path. The deep-carry Ambi clip moves left to right without tools.
At 2.26 oz and 4.33" closed, the SRM Medal 255L-MN sits comfortably in the small EDC pocket knife, brown Micarta pocket knife, and crossbar lock folding knife categories at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
What blade steel does the SRM Medal 255L-MN use?
The SRM Medal 255L-MN uses 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel at HRC 58–60. Enhanced with cobalt and molybdenum and broadly comparable to VG-10, the steel gives the SRM Medal 255L-MN solid edge retention and strong corrosion resistance while staying easy to bring back on a stone.
What kind of lock does the SRM Medal 255L-MN have?
The SRM Medal 255L-MN uses SRM's Ambi-Lock, a crossbar lock. Pull the bar back with your thumb and forefinger and the blade swings free, so you can open and close the SRM Medal 255L-MN one-handed from either side with your fingers safely out of the blade path.
How big is the SRM Medal 255L-MN and how much does it weigh?
The SRM Medal 255L-MN has a 3.2" (82 mm) blade, measures 7.5" (191 mm) open and 4.33" (110 mm) closed, and weighs 2.26 oz (64 g). That puts the SRM Medal 255L-MN in true lightweight pocket-carry territory. Blade-length carry laws vary by state and city, so check your local rules.
Is Micarta a good handle material on the SRM Medal 255L-MN?
Micarta is a resin-impregnated linen laminate that grows grippier as it absorbs hand oils, and it warms to the touch faster than steel or G10. The brown Micarta scales on the SRM Medal 255L-MN develop a personal patina with use, which is a large part of the appeal of this version.
Can you move the pocket clip on the SRM Medal 255L-MN?
Yes. The SRM Medal 255L-MN ships with a deep-carry Ambi clip that unscrews and reinstalls on the opposite handle scale with no extra tools required, so the SRM Medal 255L-MN suits left- and right-handed carry equally.
How do you sharpen the SRM Medal 255L-MN?
Wipe the blade clean, soak a whetstone, and push the edge from heel to tip at a steady 15° per side for 10–20 passes before switching sides and finishing on the fine grit. The 10Cr15CoMoV blade on the SRM Medal 255L-MN responds well to standard stones and guided sharpeners alike.
Where can I buy the SRM Medal 255L-MN?
You can buy the SRM Medal 255L-MN at Going Gear, an authorized SRM dealer. Every SRM Medal 255L-MN we ship is factory-fresh and backed by SRM's warranty.
