Is the latest  

I put skiff bearings in mine and tuned it. It is extremely smooth now!

So much great insight! Thank you 😊

I also like Medfords designs, but for the money he charges, It feels like there are many options that have better fit and finish. The Sebenza most certainly being one example.

Ready for Greg to make a rebuttal video lol

Myself, I absolutely luv Ceramic Bearing Folders. I always remove the stock bearings and replace them with my personal, all-time favorites, Skiff Ceramic Bearings, with Phosphorus Bronze, Milled Cages. Bearing Folders, when done right are awesome.

Medford's M-48 and Praetorian Slim Flipper are both on bearings.

Will you do a tuning video with a praetorian please (I’m sure you’ll be getting one😂)? I’m tuning mine as we “speak”. Just figured your methods could be helpful

Mmmm...love that Sebenza

The M48 is also a bearing knife. The snail trails on the scales are common in my experience with MKT. My 187 came the same. They don't particularly bother me, tbh, but they do call the handling of parts in production into question. My asking MKT about that elicited a late-night call from Greg (22h00 my time) and we talked for twenty minutes or so, perfectly amicably. We were even amicable when the subject turned to politics which confirmed - for me - an intuition I had about Greg, namely that the public persona is a bit of a front for a smart and well-read guy. Re: the snail trails. Greg said it's a function of the stonewash they apply, which could be the case. Or it could be casual handling on the production line. As I said, I don't really care. (I know I should, by the laws of internet minutiae and online discourse, and I might care more on a different knife, but the good qualities of the 187 overwhelm the niggles. I also got it at a much better price than recommended retail, so I didn't feel particularly burned.)

Very knowledgeable. Greg needs to subscribe to your channel and takes notes

Awesome video. Have you got a tear down of the Nosferatu?

That finish is done on purpose to help hide wear. Can't remember what they call it but it's purpose driven

Production, Mid Tech, Custom. The only three categories of knife production for me. Three examples in order for me would be Spyderco (production) Custom Knife Factory (midtech) and someone like Jeremy Horton (custom maker). CNC pattern made knives but limited in production would strike me as Midtech. Nothing wrong with it - but it is what it is.

I never understood how a knife can be worth more than a pistol.

Sir did you mention about Medford that they heat treat their S45VN pretty well?

I want to buy an edc knife with a budget of something around 150. Which one do you recommend me? I was thinking in the hogue deka, what it’s your opinion

Reeve knifes are ‘beautiful and clean’ Medford knives are ‘Tough and Sexy’ this a different take… I dig the small inconsistencies and human elements as long as it does its job because I use my knives like I use my cars, HARD!I don’t keep them in cases, I take them into the world. Not that there is anything wrong with collecting, to each his own. ❤✌🏼

You know if Medford would price down a little bit just a little i think they would sell so much more because their knives are unique enough so awesome. It’s just they are so expansive and probably worth it but out of reach for many people. I think it’s good to be critical but we should not demonize hard working companies on RU-vid by picking all their little flaws. I love and own many Spyderco knives and people praise Spyderco, but many times my I had flaws on the knives to be honest. Let’s have positive critique and move on with hour lives.

The slim midi is on bearings buddy

I could be wrong but after doing some research I don't think I own a single 100% USA made knife. If one even exists at all. Even though they claim made in America, It looks like they all use foreign hardware. Do you know of any brands that use 100% USA down to every screw washer and fastener?

The ending made me laugh. That Medford guy stooped to calling you misogynistic names bc your video hurt his feelings. He should thank you & closely watch all of your videos so that he can learn a thing or two. Then perhaps the quality of their knives will approach their price tag, although I'm not sure that's possible.

I prefer no loctite from the factory. On a properly made knife it's not needed. See any Sebenza 21 as proof of this. If a thread locker is needed, I much prefer a tiny strip of plumbers tape.

Wonder if those washers will work in the nosferatu?😅

$620…click

i think its always easy to criticise a small detail on a knife and much harder to actually go out there build a knife, than build a folding knife, than build a folding knife on this level, build a company around it and employ a bunch of people and deal with all the bs that comes with that.

How did you come up with 64 hrc for that s45vn?? Medford says 59-61 hrc Medford knives have never ran any steel that hard. Ever.

nice adjustments. "hand made" is too often used as an excuse or marketing term. if you don't pay your electric bill you won't be able to make knives.

Greg doesn't care about quality. The way he handled that situation with the edges was extremely immature. IT’s YOUR COMPANY GREG!!! Don’t throw your team under the bus. YOU FIX IT IF YOU CARE. I owned many, many Medfords but I just couldn’t take anymore of the excuses, harassment when things weren’t right, or scams to get me to buy a spa service and pay for shipping with their QC issues. Sold them all, for a huge loss I might add. Medford’s have a horrible resale for a reason. Now Greg is coming after the guy that started Medford’s first FB group. The guy can’t get along with anybody, even his wife left him 🤣

He has a new Web Site no Phone # just Map Coordance .I Ordered an OTF Dec -8i2022 and I am still waiting 4-2 2024 So Maby they are being made in Antartica ?
