Can’t wait to get my OTF praetorian! Love the information on this Greg, THANKS!!

[@billjenkins9822]

Love your knives and the channel.

[@jessejenison7751]

Thank you Greg, I'm saving up for this, kick ass knife. My birthday is in December, this will be my present to my self.👍

[@alvinharp3437]

Ordered mine when pre-orders first became available. Looking forward to receiving mine. Glad to hear some have already gone out. That's promising and I'm sure it will be worth the wait. FJB😊

I’m just going to be honest I can limpwrist upside down my Troodon with no issues but I appreciate the difference in tolerances, engineering and craftsmanship of your product; hope you can improve the implementation of the mechanism to eliminate the issues.

[@STERLING430]

What a beautiful knife. Greg, you're definitely getting into EDC groove. Our jeans love this size and style...hahah. Even though these are smaller, it still has MKT all over it. Keep it up brother. I remember encouraging you a few years back to go to this size and you absolutely delivered. Bravo brother!! I learn so much from this style of video. Thanks for sharing your passion with us. It's a amazing thing to watch something manifest from your head, into steel we can purchase. A True creator and an ABSOLUTE Craftsman!

First, I will say there isn’t a human on the planet more picky than me. I grew up poor, my wife and I paid our way through school - hard work, self made, retired at 55. I return knives if the centering is off a 1/4 mm… the only knives I own are Medford, Chris Reeve, Microtech and Victorinox. Every product has issues - as picky as I am, I can unequivocally say that Medford is the best knife company on the planet. You have a face and don’t hide in your office, service is unbelievable and you as a company are open, honest and you show us behind the scenes - giving us information that no other company does. So to the haters, ignore them, let them hate and spend money on their China knives - Medford is an American treasure and you are expanding the envelope from carry models to the OTF to the ASK - keep rockin it and let the skinny jeans guys vent - no one listens to them anyway!

Haha I love your sarcastic response responses. 😂

All of us knife nuts are always searching for the perfect blade with zero drawbacks. We will forever be searching because that does not exist ! I have two Medfords and love both of them.

[@cesarjeannottat3984]

These OTF knives seem to me to be of poor quality !! 😮

[@chriswebb3018]

​@@cesarjeannottat3984 I highly doubt they are poor quality. Medford makes very high quality stuff and maybe these just aren't for you. Also this is his first run at them and will learn more and more as they produce them. Go check out microtechs first otf's ever made and bet they are nothing like what you can buy today. Some people like to be the first to buy a new product and some like to wait while they dial everything in, but they are definitely of high quality regardless.

The spring has to take a set.

[@mikejurnak4253]

Otf with the Victorian blade looks badass.

[@coreyketrow1376]

Where can I find a driver for the breaker?

[@carlsalvato8530]

You make the best knives in the business..i dont give a f*&k what anyone says.

[@fl9667]

[@Momo-hy7qj]

Microtech scarab is the thickest, .170 thou blade and works in all directions. Sorry, my mistake, my scarab is .160🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Lurtz32]

Haven't handled but been seeing alot on it recently and honestly for 600 it should have top tier action otherwise just buy a microtech imo if you charged a little less more people would be interested but for the cost as is now im going to pass

[@math4071]

[@FrankToThePoint]

I have a 40$ Chinese OTF that doesn't fail vertical. Or at all really.. you can fix that.. I do want an M-48

[@letsgobrandon007]

[@user-zz6lx6ej7o]
