This is one of the very few Medford's that I like. Love the chunky little blade with the high hollow grind and the big belly. Also I like the action, and the fact that it's a button lock which is my preferred method of locking. Great review bro, thanks for sharing.
If the flipper tab was made just a little bit longer, it would work properly. Flippers on bearings shouldn’t need “wrist” or a special way of holding the knife to get it to flip. That said, its a well made , light weight folder that has a very solid lock up.
Great review. I have been pretty lucky with these scales. Have some other aluminum scaled knives that are scratched up. Love the knife. My only complaint is the weak detent. Thanks for treating my babies well.
You know it was going to be a complaint, but after feeling how fun it is, and that I can reliably flip it ten times in a row with no issues, I really didnt mind the detent I just thought of it as a different kind of action that requires a little snap. Thanks Abby
The Djinn framelock is similar in deployment. You have to learn the knife to get it to operate properly. Once you do it's pretty sweet. Great video brother.🔥🍻
The anodized aluminum should and I believe is a hard coat process that is hard as glass..and will snail trail but not scratch unless of course you drag rocks in your pockets...or 6 knives...lol
You clued me to this video, thanks. I love freedom of speech even if I don't like what is said. Unaware of Mr. Medford's controversies so probably should remain this way. Cool looking stout knives but have never held one, this one looks a lot more carriable. Would you say it's so smooth it's criminal ? Hahaha
😆 damn near, if you ever want to Medford knife and tool, hes got a channel for his knife company, appreciate you watching most medford knives are very stout
I have been contemplating whether I should get a medford or not although, you have me a little off the fence now after your review😁👍either this or a hinderer 🤔🤔hmmm decisions decisions haha. Noce review bud 👍 tnxs for the content indeed😁👊👊and totally agree with ya,, freeedoomm 🤣👊🤜💯🤛hava good one brother ✌✌
I’ve never held a Medford. Coming across any reviewers table, I’ve never been convinced that they were worth the effort. Especially for the price to material ratio. But who am I to tell others how to spend their money. Having said that the Nosferatu looks dope.
I just sold my Medford clone on eBay with my kershaw cryo in a bundle for 65......the clone was really solid , I just can’t see myself dropping 500 for a folder, cold steel ad10 could give them a run for toughness or a few of their knives ....
Now that's a sharpening choil.
Picked up the smooth criminal in March,great knife and review,Greg Medford for president 2024!

Its really cool and i dont mind the light detent you its just different and theres nothing wrong with that

Yeah i think the flipper tab is fine it just needs a stronger spring for the detent, or a separate detent

Freedom of speech is something special 🇺🇸. People don’t understand what that actually means now a days. Cancel cultural sure doesn’t.
No they dont, they dont realize that it saves them from things they say that I might not agree with, they think that it only applies to them
Medford gets a bad reputation for his mouth but he builds one hell of a knife!!!
Nice Medford! I like how the button lock looks like a revolver cylinder/chamber. I agree with you on the odd lanyard hole.
Yeah that is sweet
That blade is majestic.
Freedom is a great thing...love the criminal just picked one up...detent tad soft but like you said learning curve is needed and no fails...

I dont even mind the light detent its just different
That is a great looking two sun knife! Medford knives, you gotta love um!
Very cool short and stout hard to beat a button lock. Great review

Smooth Criminal vs Spyderco Smock vs Protech Malibu? Call the order of best fidgeting 1-3.
Havent tried the malibu but its on the way so id say smock malibu the smooth c, i know the criminal would be last no matter whos first or second
Slim midi I want one too I have it on my wish list!!!!!!
Im gonna get to it before you! But you will prolly own one first, because im only going to get to barrow one.
I think you can also use the lanyard as a Glass breaker also. Greg has on a few other models also
Yeah im sure you could but didnt know that good to know
Nice review if I buy it , and needs sharping it’s going back to them for sharping …
Get it big boy!!!!!!
Thank you for comparing it to the bug out!!!
Np

Thats a hard choice, if I had the $ between the Medford id pick over a Hinderer id pick, man flip a coin 😆
I'd rather have that 227
Looks like the lanyard would dig into the palm of your hand /idk .
You would think that but it doesnt I never even noticed or thought about it, I heard that its also can be used as a glass breaker

I definitely know what you mean, but man some of them are amazing, the strength and build quality. WOW
They're pretty sweet imo.
I can't stand that handle.

Hey if ya cant swing it ya cant swing it lucky theres so many great knives right
A Medford huh? Surprised to see it's not a $500 door stop on a piano hinge. Good to see they're stepping out a little.
👍
You would be surprised what they have been doing, lot of great edc style knives lately
Medford never does a proper sharpening choil. I don't understand that. That is why I buy Chris Reeve.
