my first knife was a medford that i bought on ebay, sent it back to Greg for sharping and a one of his guys called me and said we got bad news, the knife is off center and is pretty Fuked up. But he said I'll tell you what, we are going to send you a brand new knife and I still own that knife. Thanks Greg!
Greg, I am with you 100% In Fact I just got my 1st Prae T TODAY!! Love it!! my 5th Medford.. I have MANY Knives and will continue to diversify my collection however, the more i see the more it becomes apparent to ME.. that Medford is the best of the best. (To my taste anyway) there are SOO Many others, but your quality is 2nd to NONE! Thank you for Staying true to your values.. Semper Fi!
Can you post the "pimpers" so everyone knows to stear clear...? I personally do not like "pimped" knives from Any maker and have been in this hobby for 40 years.
Love all your work Greg. I recently just purchased my first Medford. Smooth criminal auto from SMKW. Do you guys still do an open house on occasion? I’ve come to a few in the past.
Just got another letter from a deceived customer and a copy of screen shots of Thomas Kinard saying dishonest things to cover his incompetence and telling the customer how to angle a free knife from the factory. There are so many things like this that have happened I felt compelled to warn my awesome customers and engaged knife nuts. Love you guys and FUCK thieves.
Another fabulous Medford rendition of knowledge and wisdom! I own several Medfords.. fixed and folders. You guys have ALWAYS been exceptional craftsman and your honesty with all of us is legendary!. Love your vids- and as a retired LEO I have had to slow my Medford habit down a notch or two… mostly at SMKWs… they have the best offerings near me. Thanks Greg and team!
I’m new to the knife game and I’ve always heard that you and Hinderer are difficult to be nice. Had nothing to go on until this so I’m glad you spoke your mind and stand up for your brand as such. Don’t know what happened in the past but this post I respect so I no longer think what I did. I’ll be looking to pick one up now. I stand behind everything you’ve said here. Righteous anger is okay and I’m not even saying this was said in anger just saying it was done in good taste in my opinion. Thanks dude for speaking out.
Only issue I have with it is I can’t break it apart for a full cleaning. I feel like every knife should be able to filed strip. Come on Greg you have an amazing knife here. You can still 4 tiny small holes into to. Just give me an Slot / or a X. I still got it apart. But broke my tweezers during the process.
And I just found out I live a couple miles from Arizona knives…. Mother fffer!! Literally found out yesterday they were so close to me and I was so pumped I was finally close to a shop and here you go bursting my bubble. SOB!!! Lmao
Appreciate you purposely looking out for the secondary market. It seems like a lot of mid-tech knife companies actually do the opposite. Your the man Greg. Oh yeah, and Fuck thieves, ruining the knife hobby for the rest of us
At least nothing went to waste . 😊 This will pass . Good job on catching the problem . Shit happens with employees . They almost become like family so it hurts when someone breaks one off in you or me or anybody will feel offended . Depends on how bad it was though , depends on lots of things I guess. I d say listen, this is a business and not hanging around in your buddies garage screwing around , do a good job for a year and you can make a knife for yourself on your own time .
I used to supervise at General Motors assembly in Lordstown and Mansfield stamping and keeping an eye on parts was a thing at the assembly plant . The stamping plant was wild . They had this 12 story building inside the plant and in the ground and a huge elevator would pick up truck sized crates of stamped body parts , hoods, doors , everything . It was all automated and super cool .
You shouldnt EVER have to "fuck" with a knife that costs $1000 dollars or more. If you do, quality controll is garbage, so is the knife. Only have a Medford Nasferatu, I Love it. So smooth it gives lessons.
Many makers have had provisions against modifying. I remember some manufacturers voiding warranties for disassembly. I personally wouldn’t honor any returns that were modified. This time around if I actually started selling again. I’d say all sales final. To hell with it. I don’t care what they would say.
I find it funny that Greg is the one taking a beating over in that fb group. I know of 3 people that have had a bad experience dealing with this person. Waiting 6-9 months to get knives back. When they do the work was done wrong or had issues. Weird thing is my knife was shipped back to me from Medford
Sit the people down before u hire them and the people u Have right now working for you and tell them we are a company of trust loyalty a family and we don't do shit like that and if u want something u ask me n I'll probably give it to u if not then don't take from me if u do I will find out and when I do u are gone and ur never work for me again or any other company in arazona and I'll break ur damn legs after that fr tell them, tired of seeing other people punished for a few others dumb stupidity, they put money over loyalty and respect some of us would never do that, make a living is great but not in a wrong way, there's always a better way Always good luck thank you
I have many MKT knives in my collection and bought from reputable dealers, like Delray shooting center here in Florida and all have been flawless in every way including solid lockup, hard use, etc. They are expensive but you really get what you pay for. NO complaints....

As a former Marine ya don't know what to...as a former army paratrooper i know what i would do....real men say what they will do and follow through on it...airborne all the way...
Every company that uses 2-56 or 4-40 screws has screws purchased on the open hardware market as a global commodity type supply...and they are likely made in China. By the time 2 or 3 middle men suppliers have packaged and repackaged them its almost impossible to verify COO. My guess is all "rack hardware" is made in Asia, proprietary stuff MOSTLY made here. I can tell you I get hit up daily by chinese manufacturers trying to do work for me and to prove they are capable they send pictures of the parts they make for my "American Made" competitors knives. Not Chris Reeve Knives but just about EVERYONE else...

Last Oder out video to Miami blew my mind with the level of detail and refinement.
This is why I love MKT thanks Greg for keeping it real
Sounds like you had a few “smooth criminals” working for you.
Glad to hear about the lefties. Have been wanting one of your knives for awhile now. Great news.
Your knives suck, too expensive ,not Sharp,sticky action 😢

Bad publicity is still publicity. Greg's being smart like a fox.
Just received my 21st Medford today (Knifejoy exclusive Machete). My wife thinks I’m crazy. Do I have leg to stand on in this argument?
I love your knives I have never owned one I can’t afford one. But dam I love them especially the way they look.
Damn it! I always miss the livestreams! Keep it up Greg. 🤙🏽 🇺🇸

Same! And I picked one up last week. Best damn knife Iv ever held! Amazing edge retention on the s35. Absolutely blew my mind!

When is the triple stack coming for the ASK and the additional tools...?
Shame these things happen. And happy to see you took action. In some corporate firms it’s damn near impossible to fire someone.
Only knife pimp I know is Praetorian Tyrone

I'd be okay with buying a second discount knife, they are generously overpriced.
I’m in the shower and that scale is doing it for me Greg 😅
Get the lawyer ready and take care off the spineless coward

Sunglasses? Pro Series? WTF????
You should do something with TKell Knives, he's also a USMC 100% all American made knife maker, reminds me of you.

Arizona
your bald head is beautiful. the color is just amazing. I wouldnt trust anyone in Arizona, period.
Perfect.

I often do not agree to your rants, but this time you’re entirely right. What those guys do is fraud.
Why would you need to pimp a Medford? I don't own one yet, but i have never seen a Medford that wasn't already bad ass.
Fair ❗️
Who are the knife pimpers from Arizona 😅
Arizona custom knives
@@Savage.Doomerhe is NOT talking about Arizona Custom Knives. He's referring to former employees who are now doing knife mods
@@med_head I know, I watched his previous video
@@Savage.DoomerAZCK is located in Florida and isn’t owned by a person who was in the knife business, knife manufacturing or the knife community before owning the business.
who are the pimpers then??@@Savage.Doomer
Good thing these things are for fanbois with more money than sense.😂
Name and shame them Greg, stop beating around the bush
Like they always say, Pimpin ain’t easy lol
Love your knives. Have to admit I have a Praetorian knockoff because I can't afford yours but maybe one day
Naughty naughty, very naughty

Well put Sir.
I wonder if bench made or Spyderco use Chinese screws and tools? Or is it just Medford
😂😂😂 I don't believe it. He wouldn't dare
