Greg, ever since you started making smaller knives, I love your design language more and more. Not only do we enjoy carrying them in our pocket more, We still get that Medford look and style in a smaller package. 💯. Jesus Christ you're dagger OTF looks beautiful.
I get it, everything and I mean everything in this world has an end, no matter what you cant avoid change with enough time everything changes, I think its good so it opens focus on fun new projects, I mean it rocked for a LONG time cant ask for more thnas that :)
Your announcement has now just jacked up the cost $$$ of any/all pre-owned Praetorians. Thanks. 😕 PS: I have an idea for your Infraction or ask Amy, I passed my idea to her months ago. I believe it will be a big seller for you. 😁
Sad day...... Probably the best knife out there..... IMHO it's a big mistake.... But who am I? Just a customer who's bought several and planned to buy more..... When you discontinue a popular knife to try and force people to like others or put others into the limelight as you say, it may put a bad taste in customers mouths...but again, who am I? just a customer....... RIP Praetorian.
This is very well said - I purchase with passion and only have knives that provide pride of ownership, Greg as the owner and artist must move his company forward in his vision (of course) but that vision has killed my 2 favorite models - so I am not able to purchase the ones I wish to anymore. In addition, I do not and never have held onto knives from any manufacturer that were discontinued - it’s just a thing for me. So this necessary move by Greg (which I respect), makes me no longer a customer and someone who purchased an iconic knife and coin I no longer want (it’s my problem) but everyone is different. Some folks don’t care and will enjoy their knives - I don’t have that connection with a discontinued knife - so now the amazing piece I am in line for is something I really don’t want.
Bummer. That is one on my favorite knives in my collection. And got me into chunky bruisers. I wish you great success Greg. Chevy doesn’t get rid of its Camero. They just build a better one.
Glad to have owned a couple of your tools. Yes the Praetorian is a massive chunk of steel but that’s what made me buy a Medford in the first place! No one else would make a knife built like that! Now I have 6 Medford’s! Slim Midi as my daily!
Love my Praetorian T, never planned on letting it go and definitely won't now. Every time Mick Jagger performs, he has to sing "Satisfaction"... you just broke the mold.
I’m glad I have 4 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. The thing I love about you Greg is that you always say it like it is. I understand as a creator, you get bored. Guess what, your name is on the big building so you get to call the shots. God bless you brother. Stay healthy.
Smart. Create a FOMO rush on these now. Then bring em back later in limited editions like Classic Coke and capitalize on the FOMO rush II. I’ll buy them now and later too. Carry a midi marauder daily and love it. Right size. Everyone needs to have at least one Praetorian though. Works of art.
Greg, love your heftier stuff and the Pretorian Slim Flipper (just finally broke in) b-lines to my pocket like flies on shit. I completely dig the one I have but if you're pausing on the Slim Flipper too.. please confirm either way so I can decide now if I want to add another or hold my breath til I pass out. Thanks and howdy from Flagstaff.
Dude what!!? I’m so glad I got 2 praetorians I got a genesis and micro thank god.Kinda sad.But honestly my Fighter Flipper is my absolute Favorite blade I own!! And I own a lot.Thanks for making sick shit Greg!!
Extremely disappointing - I recently ordered and paid for a Ti. Not sure how I feel about this and the brand as a whole right now, I’m not a big fan of change like this. This would be the second of my favorite models sunsetted - for me, it’s time to move on unfortunately.
Not beating a dead horse here - every person is different and I respect and admire you and your company and your decisions however, losing the 2 models I prefer effectively makes me no longer a customer (the knives I want aren’t for sale anymore). The more difficult part is I only own knives (and guns and watches for that matter that i have a connection to). I do not keep and never have kept anything discontinued by the maker - it’s my problem and my issue but it’s how I connect with an object - I do not connect with a discontinued object so this necessary move (that I dearly respect) is a disaster for me. It’s not an issue of “grab the few remaining”, it’s an issue of if I don’t want a discontinued product so the joy and excitement awaiting the Ti is gone (some guys don’t care but I am me and now I find myself waiting for something I don’t want and won’t keep).
I just recently got a Smooth Criminal and I'm broke right now, but I eventually wanted a Praetorian slim and a mini. I don't but used, so I guess I'm SOL. Damn.
Great decision. A historical design for the brand. But yea since then there came a lot of other designs that are a bit more interesting to me. Discontinue things is always good to build up the legend. Maybe the praetorian becomes now more sought after. Personally I dont have one and will not get one. But Im happy about the fighter flipper beeing in my collection.
I'm not saying it's the worst idea but the praetorian is probably what most knife collectors think of when MKT comes to mind. There are other models that are fantastic but I feel like the company loses a part of its "life" without the praetorian.
I for one am Glad.. I have my share of Praetorians, trheyre great, Lookin forward to Something New and Fresh, thats exciting.. Bring back the On Belay Down the line as well, but for now New Shit!!
Soooo .... In other words the P is losing interest and market value because xyz , So we'll put it on the shelf until possible interest gains which brings profits It is your flagship & You know it I dont blame ya Gregory 😂
Not a big deal really. While its a cool beast of a knife, its not really all that useful or practical for folks that primarily EDC a blade. Sure, if I had to cut through a car door, it would be the Praetorian or my Tops Steel Anaconda that I would reach for, but its not really a useful knife in most regards...
I know this guy is a millionaire and he has suckered thousands of people into paying an astronomical amount money for sharpened metal. Damn he is unbearable to listen to. This is equivalent to your seeing your favorite rock band in a refuse to play the hits that made them famous. NARCISSIST MUCH! I'm glad i have never purchased a Medford.
Lol, anyway, ur knives are overpriced but now u lost ur brandproduct and ur history.... praetorian....I saw a lot new trash in the last years...and now u lost ur best..... how stupid is this....big fail....😢
Thank you for making mine more valuable!
Right!!

Greg is pretty notorious for sabotaging his own business lol.
Bummer. That is one on my favorite knives in my collection. And got me into chunky bruisers. I wish you great success Greg. Chevy doesn’t get rid of its Camero. They just build a better one.
But they did stop production for a time.
Glad to have owned a couple of your tools. Yes the Praetorian is a massive chunk of steel but that’s what made me buy a Medford in the first place! No one else would make a knife built like that! Now I have 6 Medford’s! Slim Midi as my daily!
I just started getting into the Medford world and the M 48 is a great design, would love to see more models like that.
Love my Praetorian T, never planned on letting it go and definitely won't now. Every time Mick Jagger performs, he has to sing "Satisfaction"... you just broke the mold.
Boss i am.waiting about the micro praetorian knives why theres no more available
I’m glad I have 4 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. The thing I love about you Greg is that you always say it like it is. I understand as a creator, you get bored. Guess what, your name is on the big building so you get to call the shots. God bless you brother. Stay healthy.
I just got mentioned in a Medford video, as a fan myself… that was kinda cool!
Damn.... I never got one, but had them on my wish list. Now the prices on the secondary market will get insane.
All by Gregory's design too 😅
Don't worry he'll bring it back for twice + what they are now
Hey man you have your finger on the pulse of your business.. and only you can make that decision I applaud you for making it.. I'm sure it wasn't easy
Dang! I’m so glad I just got my first prae T and micro T I love them
I'm glad I have 2 beautiful praetorians, love them both. This does make me sad, but excited to see what's the come. 🤙🏼👍
You know what’s best, and the real ones will follow 👍🏾
Smart. Create a FOMO rush on these now. Then bring em back later in limited editions like Classic Coke and capitalize on the FOMO rush II. I’ll buy them now and later too. Carry a midi marauder daily and love it. Right size. Everyone needs to have at least one Praetorian though. Works of art.
Will you be making new hats? I’m a hat freak and would love a Medford shield hat made with Richardson 110 SnapBack.
Greg, love your heftier stuff and the Pretorian Slim Flipper (just finally broke in) b-lines to my pocket like flies on shit. I completely dig the one I have but if you're pausing on the Slim Flipper too.. please confirm either way so I can decide now if I want to add another or hold my breath til I pass out. Thanks and howdy from Flagstaff.
I get it. As an artist and tradesman, I don't want to make the same thing forever.
Letting your best design go is crazy
Glad I've got a couple. Shocked though.
Dude what!!? I’m so glad I got 2 praetorians I got a genesis and micro thank god.Kinda sad.But honestly my Fighter Flipper is my absolute Favorite blade I own!! And I own a lot.Thanks for making sick shit Greg!!
I love the Tff-1 design i think it would be awesome in a smaller size .
Always moving forward, progress brother
Glad I got the Praetorians I wanted for the last 10 years. I love those monsters and I mean this in the most complimentary way - thanks Greg!!
I'll for sure be on the list for that TFF4. Can't WAIT!
It’s the flagship dude
Extremely disappointing - I recently ordered and paid for a Ti. Not sure how I feel about this and the brand as a whole right now, I’m not a big fan of change like this. This would be the second of my favorite models sunsetted - for me, it’s time to move on unfortunately.
Quit your whining! You will still get your knife and there are tons of Praetorians new in the market. Snag a couple! ;)
Much respect but this is serious to me - it’s not a joke.
Not beating a dead horse here - every person is different and I respect and admire you and your company and your decisions however, losing the 2 models I prefer effectively makes me no longer a customer (the knives I want aren’t for sale anymore).

A great knife, and I will never part with mine.
Wish you the best man!!
If the Customers want it and there’s a following why stop production? Unless it’s not profitable why would you choose to stop making them ?
i cant feel my legs
Greg's a legend!!!!
Even if this isn't a gimmick. He didn't mention the Ti....
Some of us haven't got around to getting one yet. Remember what Richard Pryor said to Eddie Murphy. If the money is coming in. I'd keep making them.
I'd love to see the infraction with a 3.25 blade and priced like the smooth criminal. I think they'd be very popular.
Well I WAS having a good day 😊
Darn I wanted to get a newer style one but they'll be gone before I can save to get one . So is life
I'm glad I was able to snag a praetorian swift from SMKW for $300 while I could!
Tha slim/gentleman/micro marauder would be nice to see again.
My personal favorite is the on-belay,
I just died a little.
Well, it was a good day. But glad I already got my micro.
You guys should make a cable splicing blade
Will you manufacture any left handed models
They have lefty Praetorian Ts and Slim Midis at DLT Trading.
Any chance of running some micro's it's the only praetorian I have got.
Don’t do it !!! Please, reconsider. I’m planning to buy 2 of them (a micro t and a genesis). I’m just saving money first.
Yeah I'm low on money, but was planning on getting one in about a year or so. Guess I will get a Koenig instead.
The NOSFERATU is a button lock, already done.
This is like Porsche killing the 911. :/
I for one am Glad.. I have my share of Praetorians, trheyre great, Lookin forward to Something New and Fresh, thats exciting.. Bring back the On Belay Down the line as well, but for now New Shit!!
I better grab a Genesis T then! 😂 I’m stoked for the Tff-4!!
Rip into the bushcraft and survival knives more ,you would make some proper elite ones I reckon.
Are u sick of the 1 on your desk and want to sellit?
Is this the 58hrc Praetorian?
Smock is just a button lock, colab with Kevin smock and spyderco
Greg’s fishin’ lol.
Something kick ass needs to come out of all this. First the hollow grinds now this. What the tarnasions is going on around here 😝
say the praetorian is not selling without saying the praetorian is not selling 🧐
Bring back the dress Marauder!!
Make some Colonials please !!!!
That sucks.
Soooo .... In other words the P is losing interest and market value because xyz ,
So we'll put it on the shelf until possible interest gains which brings profits
It is your flagship & You know it
I dont blame ya Gregory 😂
Layoffs
Does this include the Praetorian Slim???
I think he said it did
@@tyarnold4088He didn’t mention it.
Good. I thought he mentioned the slim and the mini. Those are the 2 I want.
I think they are all gone except the g10 version.
Not a big deal really. While its a cool beast of a knife, its not really all that useful or practical for folks that primarily EDC a blade. Sure, if I had to cut through a car door, it would be the Praetorian or my Tops Steel Anaconda that I would reach for, but its not really a useful knife in most regards...
Wow im shocked
A little late for April fool's day . . .
had to buy a crazy 2k ti beacuse of this video X_X lol
Damn guess the you prob helped the Chinese clones they are prob jumping for joy now they can charge double hahaha
Well, shit I thought you were closing down the business. Too bad, maybe soon. Not enough washers in the world huh?
Should stop making knives all together
Is this a May fools joke
What?!!!
I know this guy is a millionaire and he has suckered thousands of people into paying an astronomical amount money for sharpened metal. Damn he is unbearable to listen to. This is equivalent to your seeing your favorite rock band in a refuse to play the hits that made them famous. NARCISSIST MUCH! I'm glad i have never purchased a Medford.
Lol, anyway, ur knives are overpriced but now u lost ur brandproduct and ur history.... praetorian....I saw a lot new trash in the last years...and now u lost ur best..... how stupid is this....big fail....😢
I only liked the video to help the algorithm. Disapprove button🤣-------->
Good. It sucks anyways
So does your mom
@@jpolhamus71 she certainly does. Never thought I’d enjoy my mom’s mouth but she’s got a lot of practice. Thanks mom!
