Man, I went back and forth on this one for over a year. I didn’t think I’d like the ergos until I finally just went through with the purchase and got it in-hand. Words rarely fail me, but you said it best; “Badass”, indeed.
I love the blade profile. I have a Pro Tech Promethious that's similar to this. Very practical blade. I've been searching DLT, and blade HQ for one with blue anodized scales. Love your content man keep it going!
Good one Jarrod! I have been on the fence about buying a Medford because I am not into big overbuilt work knives but I am still tempted because I like to try them all.
I have been thinking about buying one for months now. Finally, we can take apart Medfords and not void the warranty; big- big, huge PLUS! Greg Medford you did good here! Like you said, it's a tool and if your worried about ounces, look away. Love the hollow grind! Thanks for the review!
Most definitely and i am also glad about the taking apart thing, if im buying a tool like he says they are then I should be able to maintain my tool, and its definitely a work horse
Jusf got one yesterday, my first Medford. S90v, satin blade, purple ano show side, blue ano clip side, flame ano hardware and clip. Truly a beast. Slices through magazine paper. Surprisingly smooth. It's big but not unwieldy.
I have been looking forward to this review... I like the way you talked about this, with the whole "working mans tool" in mind, really well done, no bitching about break in period, awesome. I really thought it was a finger choil, maybe your hands are too big for it? I really like to take knives apart from time to time, although it is really not necessary, unless it´s like a more complex system. Btw i heard the same thing about the warranty, so it must be true ;) haha
Yeah im pretty sure it is true, as long as you can put it back together its fine, but I like to work on my own tools also, but the choil is a choil for the first part of your finger, my whole finger couldnt fit just the nail part
@@TheGrayManOG I'm the same although I have sold some of mine to buy others. For awhile I wouldn't even carry my more expensive knives. I'm slowly getting over that. Right now I'm carrying my zt 0393sw which is the priciest knife I've carried on a regular basis. I once carried my Reate jack v1.0 just to show it off to some friends. But when I need to use a knife around the house, I use a Ganzo. Lol. I want to sell some of my early purchases, crkt, kershaw, real steel, but it's hardly worth the shipping for what I'd get for them, and there really isn't much interest in them anyway. I used to be about quantity over quality but that's flipped around now.
I can’t choose between this or the infraction. I don’t like really big knives. The zaan is about as big as I’ll go. Or the full size ad20. But I have a slim midi and I can say Greg does one of the best heat treatments I’ve ever seen!

Just bought one. It’s a chunk of change for sure but, I wanted a lifetime knife.A knife that could stand up to just about whatever I need it for.I use a knife for everything I do at work and it has to be tough. I was going to buy a Chris Reeve but those have been played out over the years with a million reviews and such so I decided to buy something different.Looks like a beast and should hold up for many years. Great review bro. Later
Great review. I am not terribly worried about the lock face; MKT tempers 3V very well. Their CPM D2 is also much more impact resistant than normal D2. There is 187 with S90V; I would be much more concerned considering how brittle S90V is. I love this knife. My current favorite.
Yeah i would just keep it in mind, and as long as its not getting dropped off of ladders and roof tops it should be fine. I just keep it in the back of my head
Spanner bits will open Medford pivots right up. Order a set online cheap, put a dense weave thin fabric or thick gorilla tape over pivot holes and be gentle with bit and you’ll be scratch free.
@@ironbound8438 I second that. I have several Medfords, including the 187 and Proxima. Proxima is my favorite Medford so far. Althought, I have an On Belay and USMC Flipper coming so we will see how they stack up.
I’ve always been curious as to why they designed so many models with the exposed lock face. Definitely a questionable move. Other than that I’m a fan of the 187 and the slim midi.
Yea the cut - i own a tff-1, a praetorian T and a infraction but there are knives wich cut a lot better of course.. But with this 3 or a 187 i can cut and do heavy work.
Yeah a lot of “hard use” knives ( not just Medfords) have edge geometry like a cold chisel. Not the 187. It’s no slicer but it’s got a good grind for, you know, cutting things.
No you should use kpl on the t1 because it has a lockbar insert and bearings. Grease is for washers that are only titanium framelocks with no lockbar insert

Badass is just badass
The DP187 is a masterpiece for those who like big knives.

Thank you thank you thank you I really appreciate this review because I can’t tell you how much I love my 187 thank you
It's a bit of a beast !! Damn.....very nice bro..Good review and thanks for sharing 👍😎
Im really wanting to get my hands ona pretoreon slim or a slim midi.
Good one Jarrod! I have been on the fence about buying a Medford because I am not into big overbuilt work knives but I am still tempted because I like to try them all.
If your wanting one thats not crazy over built theres the pretoreon slim and the slim midi, I really really want to try them

That’s thing is a beast!! I want a Medford soo bad lol
Dang... that is a great looking knife!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks BIGRED!!!

That is awesome! I had noproblem carrying it, and you have a sense security with something like that in your pocket.

I like mine. I've truthfully never carried or used it. Took it out of the box a few times is about it. Definitely a tank. Great review on it.
WHHHAAAAT! WHY ! what are you going to sell it.
@@NeevesKnives I have never sold a knife yet. Haven't even traded one lol. It's a sickness. They keep coming and I keep stacking them.

Its definitely a life timer and also gets very sharp so its very useful for the size. Its a knife you can trust your life with for sure
I have a infraction,getting a full size marauder,great review.
I really want to get a Pretoreon slim

Love my 187. It’s pushing my zaan outta my pocket. Soooo smooth n tough. Such an under rated Medford.
Its such a great knife Im really wanting to check out the Pretoreon slim or the midi
Neeves Knives I recommend a proxima too 👊🏼💥
@@ironbound8438 I second that. I have several Medfords, including the 187 and Proxima. Proxima is my favorite Medford so far. Althought, I have an On Belay and USMC Flipper coming so we will see how they stack up.
Which do you prefer the regular drop point or the drop point tanto?
That is a tank of a knife. Great review!
Definitely a tank
Neeves Knives looks like you could chop down a tree with it
Awesome video 👍
Thanks Kevin
Yo I’m gettin the slim midi!!!!!!! In bronze wow she’s a big carry!!!!!! Cool dude thanks
Thats amazing I really want one or the pretoreon slim
Neeves Knives yeah fucking 500 bucks for that bitch!!!!!!!
I’ve always been curious as to why they designed so many models with the exposed lock face. Definitely a questionable move. Other than that I’m a fan of the 187 and the slim midi.
Piss poor designing is why. Same thing with the exposed detent ball track.
Sho is nice. I like a big knife.
Yea the cut - i own a tff-1, a praetorian T and a infraction but there are knives wich cut a lot better of course..
But with this 3 or a 187 i can cut and do heavy work.

Nice knife, nice review. Re: grease - so you would use the grease on say, the Kizer T1 rather than KPL? Thanks.
No you should use kpl on the t1 because it has a lockbar insert and bearings. Grease is for washers that are only titanium framelocks with no lockbar insert
@@NeevesKnives okay, thanks. I use KPL and it is so smooth.
Jokes on you. My Walmart knife is so off-centered. Every time I close it the housing sharpens one side of it
😆 maybe ive been going at this all wrong
How did you get the knife apart to add the grease?
I didnt, I just sprayed into the pivot and opened and closed it to let it spread
Too bad you can't take it apart if necessary,without voiding the warranty. Sooner or later it's gonna need to be cleaned out.
