2. Email me if you’ve got a piece you might want to loan in for review to dirk@4x4oil.com
Thanks a lot.
Fantastically wonderful review as always Dirk!!!
Unfortunately as I am an office bound IT nerd myself, so I don’t really know much about hard use sorry.
Folks make sure you subscribe to Dirk’s channel, for completely honest and transparent reviews on knives and other EDC gear, and please just reach out to him if you ever have any questions on any of the items he reviews, he is always super happy to help.
Cold Steel 4 Max Scout or regular 4 Max would make an awesome comparison. Stab into wood, stab into metal can, cut hard plastic jug or packaging materials, cut meat, chop soft bone, chicken/turkey, rope of various diameter, and clothing. Keep up the great reviews.Alex turned me on to your channel.
Stu Ashley tanks Stu great ideas. Alex is a great guy appreciate you joining along on this journey with me.
Dirk! I NEED this knife - haha. A USMC "KA-BAR" flipper?!?! This is sooo in my wheel house. Great review as always!
Keith Begbie hit up my buddy Jake he’ll hook you up. And stay tuned fir the testing.
Make a good camping knife 👌🏻🏴👍🏻
pry with it real hard, put a force in pivot
I'm probably a bit late to the video, but I own a version of this Medford, and the only other piece that comes close to it, in my collection, is the Extrema Ratio Rao and then my cold steel 4Max.. that said.. a toe to toe video against the Extrema Ratio would be very interesting.. thanks for the good review
Now you got me excited 😆.. I would love to see Batoning... like a fixed blade ..... not sure if that’s with In guide lines lol
Alex’s Knifebox yep that’s in the plan 👍🏻👍🏻
I love the big knives,,, well cause I'm a big guy 6' 5 265. So I got big hands. Really like this knife.
Jeff Washinski thanks for watching. This would be a great size for you.
That's one handsome GI Joe knife !, I've personally not seen a folder that in it's own right looks as good and as capable as the original fixed blade.... until now, I like it. My vote is for a Jerrycan/oil drum stabbing test and imho to swap the 'nail' for a coconut or watermelon would be spectacular and save me averting my eyes and biting down on a piece of hide.
Mr Fahrenheit I was also thinking of the Jerry can stab. Thanks fir the idea and love the coconut idea too.
Really like this blade, does the pocket clip have decent retention?...if a knife has a really loose-poor pocket clip it will keep me from carrying it. Makers should pay more attention to pocket clips, as it keeps our pricey blades in our pockets...😉. Comparison would be Cold Steel SR1, and test would be cutting open can lids, batoning, and pry nails out of a board.
Damen0530 thanks. Yes the clip has great retention. Great ideas in the testing also. Owner said no prying but everything else is fine 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a USMC FF, You can do what ever to that knife, no task will matter, you can even compare it with any fixed blade knife...It will literally handle anything you can toss at it. Punch it through a couple car doors or hoods ( if you can find a junker). Definitely one of my favorite knives.
Randy Higgins thanks for the input. Testing coming soon.
I like the pvd coated and curious how the blade will look/wear out after the "testing" session
Enrique Salinas V. Agreed. I’m sure the PVD will be pretty ‘worn’ no doubt.
Super beefy. Sweet!!!
Jeff Washinski thanks appreciate it
Freaking awesome review! Can’t wait for the next one after the “testing” lmfao!!
jake smith heehee
Have Rob send you some different nato, leather, and other straps and then cut them up. Not a torture test for the knife but maybe irk some watch folk. Haha
Brad Southern hmm I think I’ve got some stuff here like that too. 🤔🤔
But will it cut a 4maxx on half? Lol. I would like to see if it can slice a straw in rings while the straw is standing. A comparison that would be interesting is the new 4maxx scout.
Badmunky EDC1 thanks for the idea. It’s sharp but not sure if it’s that sharp. I’ll see what I can do. 👍🏻👍🏻
With the lock face sticking out in the closed position, try to break glass with it.
Dan Cobin thanks for the idea.
A strider smf 3/4 grind
Put the blade on copper and or aluminum wire and drive the blade through with chunk of wood.compare to microtech LUDT
Mike Ledford great ideas.
Tannerite!!
C H hahaha we’ll that’s not prying 🤔🤔
XM-24 and Socom Elite, Rope cut, tire cut, break into your car (window break) sheetrock cut, camp tasks, crack walnuts, seatbelt cut, drop test (one to 2 story closed) then edge retention test when done.
Rocky Perillo great ideas thanks.
You should go all cold steel and cut through some car hoods and doors
Absolutely love this model btw
Ed Medina thanks good idea, want to swing by with your car for testing?? Lol
That is a beautiful knife. That's one I wish I could afford but I would not use something that costs that much so for me its worthless a knife I wouldn't use is just a waste in my opinion
ScalpingYour TP well stay tuned as I start to abuse this one here soon.
@@DirkWerning sure will
I think that you should look up the original standards the k-bar had to pass and compare it with the k-bar. 🤷🏻♂️
William Kerry thats an excellent idea.
Microtech DOC
Compare it to a Strider SMF!
Jonathan Ross if you’ve got one to send in I’m game. I had an SnG in once.
@@DirkWerning I have one but I lieve in Costa Rica so that is practically no cost effective.
Jonathan Ross got it. I’ll try to find one to compare for ya.
Wow the blade is really sharp.. these who’re people are crazy .. this is a 800 buck knife.. why would it not be sharp
And it should have a ice breaker
Glamlife Leesh you would be surprised, I’ve gotten more expensive vehicles knives that have not been as sharp. Should they all come razor sharp YES do they all..sadly no. I think this one works without a breaker. Stay tuned for the testing vids.
Dirk Werning .. cool so what about the old played out washers and the fact it has no lock insert or frame lock stop... shit what about the fact it has ZERO EXOTIC MATERIALS.. and they want 800 bucks
Their fucking crazy... the Chinese are crushing USA companies because USA is stingy and greedy this is a 350 bucket knIFE PERIOD
Glamlife Leesh so there’s nothing wrong with washers at all. There are tons and tons of knives using washers and there are some good arguments for washers actually. I will give you that there is no lock bar insert or over travel stop BUT Medford is NOT the only place that doesn’t use those items. Just because it doesn’t have those things does NOT mean it’s a crap knife. This lockdown bar is very strong you would have a tough time I think unspringing the lock. Is it a bit overpriced...yes I agree. Is it a $350 knife nope it’s worth more than that. Have you seen my torture test video using this knife? Might be interesting to you.
Dirk Werning I will Have to check that video out and like I said..my hubby’s go to knife for protect is a fraid spyderco k2 custom and he loves it and it has the shit tiny brash washers too but it’s his go to knife so he dose not mind washers
BUT FOR 800 bucks no excuse ..it SHOULD HAVE CERAMIC BERRINGS AND A LICK STOP AND INSERT
THIS IS NOT A DAMN 2005 htm mad madd .. it’s 2020. The Chinese are literally Slaughtering USA competition .. and it’s sad because it done not have to be that way
This fighter flipper is gorgeous but they skimped on details
The best knife I have seen in 10 years is the Chinese green thron anax 300 bucks and INSANELY BEAUTIFUL REPLICA
No lock stop..no berrings in pivot.. no steel lock insert.etc.. no exotic materials etc.. it’s a 300 buck knot at best
Hinderer XM-24 and Strider SMF
John M. Runyon good options.
