Right. And drop some more F bombs. Tony has *zero* class. He thinks cussing makes him seem cool, like the middle school student who learned his first curse word. What a looser haha. He's compensating for his height & small pecker with cuss words.
Why in the F*** are we supporting China at this point??? Grow a pair and produce USA jobs and USA made products! What happened to the American dream? Get rich and sell out or be moderately wealthy and have Americans employed and USA made products? Get real and seriously grow a pair of American Balls!
I love that you jumped into the podcast game and it feels so legit, very natural and interesting conversations, not everyone can pull it off but the key appears to be to just go and have conversations that *you* want to have with people who *you* find interesting and people will listen. Hope to see you grow this thing and branch out and have more great folks on. Good work man
Greg actually got on these guys ass for it plenty of times doesn’t mean he can’t have them on the show. Obviously they understand where Medford stands.
Yeah.. almost makes Greg seem like a pissy fraud.. just sweeping the whole "Microtech Chinese Manufacturing" elephant in the room, right under the rug. Super disgusting that he didn't even bring it up *at all*. What.. is Tony exempt because they are old college brokeback buddies?? What a joke haha. Greg is so full of crap. He really needs to do some soul searching. Idiot.
In the last two years we've gone through a few dozen new hires. Maybe 1 in 10 worked out. It's been difficult. It wasn't always like that. Some of these new hires don't even know how to break down cardboard boxes or wash a window. I had a girl who didn't know how to use a vacuum 🤣
Wow Greg, one of the "Grandfathers" who is "outscoring to the enemy".. where is all the Chinese Manufactured / supporting the enemy of the USA questions or comments to Tony, Greg ??? It's okay to sweep that under the rug if you're in person with them ? This is comical after the last 2-3 months of anti-Chinese Manufacturing crap you've thrown out. Maybe you need to do some soul searching. Funny how you didn't bring up the elephant in the room .... Tony outscoring to China after 25+ years !!!
@@MedfordKnifeTool Well it's an important subject & kinda a big deal. Especially for your die hard followers. Now it's almost like.. as a manufacturer.. "it's okay to outsource, under Greg's strict moral guidelines" ... but as a consumerm.. "we are supporting the Chinese military and need to stop being weak". It's just asinine. I support Medford knives. But this is like a kick in the balls to all your supporters. Guest or not. If Tony can't handle the criticism of outsourcing after nearly 30 years of "made in the USA" down to our proprietary screws.. then maybe be shouldn't have done it. Practice what you preach. You absolutely should have dove deeper into it. Obviously Tony won't give his consumers the time of day if they brought it up. He *absolutely* has to be put on the spot about it, so he doesn't lie. But I'm guessing you two are great drinking buddies & have alter egos you put on for this interview stuff (just like the politicians). I mean that little hand tickle you to did while mentioning "stocking up on steel stock & bearings".. tells me you communicate often. So now.. this whole anti-Chinese made campaign you've been on for the past few months.. seems B.S. like it's only for the consumer. As a manufacturer or friend of Greg, it's fine to outsource. Anyway. I still support Medford knives - so long as you don't do what Tony did. And 99% of the time I agree with. AND lastly, I really hope you put those shirts up for sale on the Medford website. I'll buy one for me & the wife. It will stop potential scalpers on eBay. Stay sharp Greg & never sell out.
@@rossginn1171 Well I mean, Tony should be held to the same critical standards & criticism as us (the knife consumer's). Greg has some excellent videos & brings up some very valid points about the wave of Chinese Manufactured knives. But this interview kinda shows double standards. And Tony did it again, just like I previously predicted.. he's got another Chinese Manufactured knife released. It's an OTF this time. And Tony is a weasel about it too. He shamed other companies for outsourcing (and consumer's for buying Chinese Manufactured) for many year's. Now he finds justification & ignores anyone inquiring about it. I *Really Wish* Greg would sack up & put him on the spot about it. I haven't bought a Microtech in a very long time, because Tony is a weasel about it. Greg gets more business from me & it used to be the other way around. Tony has released ONE whiney video about it, defending his decision because he got so much backlash and now the subject is swept under the rug. Greg is literally the only one who can question him about it & either get "talk to the hand" or a half baked answer.
These interviews are awesome. Love seeing maker to maker conversations like this!
🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲 👍
Wpulsnlove to see a Microtech/Medford collab!
you weren’t really on my radar until recently but i like your style greg and i’m lookin forward to supporting your company
Me too, but thats none of ya biz natch🤣🤣🤣🥴🥴
The chics at Microtech pale in comparison to the ladies at your booth Greg.
Continue to do better = More China made knives?
True !
15 months and counting on a production knife pre order is not my idea of a great customer service company. I call it a fail.
I want to know which knife makers Marfione called out
Ask him when he's planning to bring out the next batch of SOCOM Elites
🤣😂🤣😂
Lmao never, had to buy a stitch instead.
@@Jeromybergman stitch Is better anyway
How come there are never any LUDT and SOCOM thumb studs never in stock😣
Reate makes knives for “Custom Makers” in China. I’ll pay for American labor!!
I think he needs to wear some more bracelets....
Right. And drop some more F bombs. Tony has *zero* class. He thinks cussing makes him seem cool, like the middle school student who learned his first curse word. What a looser haha. He's compensating for his height & small pecker with cuss words.

Yes
Two of the best in the game!
Yep whenever your on top everyone else is always trying to pull you down
Great interview Greg.
Let’s se a collab. Maybe an aromatic praetorian? Maybe a Socom elite with that signature Medford flair?
Freakin’ awesome!!!
Love these podcasts !!!!
Hell yeah 👍🏻
Seem like cool genuine people wish I had there blades very cool though 👍👍
I still love my L.C.C. Manuel with green scales. First time I seen one was in line at DMV. He said it was a Microtech. I had to have one.
My two favorite blade smiths😍🙌 love to hang with yall some day

Two of the GOATS. Proud owner of both brands.
I really thought the whole Rike Collaboration conversation was gonna go differently, but glad everything stayed positive.
You know it's funny how Greg is okay with this guy collaborating with Chinese knife makers...
Greg also just interviewed Ramon Chaves, which is another guy collaborating with Chinese knifemakers(Reate)

Dude grown ups can criticise each other without being babies and making a drama out of it. Grow up!
@@7ali7 The sensitive society can't comprehend that philosophy. If you don't think exactly like them then it's time for tantrums.
