Greg, I’ve been carrying mine since I won the first ASK back in November. It’s a fantastic product. It’s an amazing tool, perfect size, perfect tools. Now I have 2 of them, and I’ll be ordering the Atlas soon. When I say “EVERY” day, I literally mean December 17th of last year until today, and everyday forth, I’ll have an ASK in my pocket. Easy to work on, clean, amazing durability. I’ve done a lot of reviews and mentions on the ASK. Some people just wanna be negative Towards it, but they also haven’t handled it yet. Don’t knock it till you try it. I support the hell out of this brand! Keep the bad ass coming! Looking forward to that ol pocket clip! 🇺🇸💯🔪
Awesome greg the swiss army was one my first knives but havent wanted one again till now . This will fill the void i have i havent jumped to a multitool, but this is the tool for me. Thanks for everything u have done for this country and were still backing u .
I hate when people say it’s three times expensive because it’s made in America. This is way different. The ASK is an amazing tool regardless where it is made, but even better because it is American made. Congratulations Greg on making a tool that guys have dreamed about since getting their first knife. Only one word can describe this knife…..BADASS! Will only get better with more options. Absolutely in love with this knife. THANK YOU!
“ it’s not meant to be a Little man chochki”😂😂😭. I love mine , I think these were a brilliant idea that no one else wanted to risk . People who don’t see it just don’t understand and are ignorant. This is the SAK that us real knife guys wanted for years! Keep it up Greg , we see you! I really think you have something here. Thank you
really like mine. the bottle opener and the pry tool are both shaped really well to get in and wedge something open. been very useful. i know you’ve talked about how hard it is, but i feel like if it had scissors it would be pretty much perfect, that and some titanium scales available would be epic
Where can I get one in Canada, who will be the distributor for ASK? Already got two, a pretorian genesis and a criminal from my Medford dealer Blades Canada but they don't have this yet... Thank you
Bought one after watching this! Used some points at DLT that I earned from buying the USMC fighter flipper! BTW i EDC that beaut! Thanks knife brother!!
The ASK knives are an extremely badass version of the Victorinox SAK's. The Jefferson is so awesome and I think they are worth the $240 price tag. They are 100% Made in the USA, use premium materials, built by a badass knife company, and they are modular. You get what you pay for when it comes to the knives Greg Medford puts out.
I think your pricing on this is great!!! There is nothing like it with such high end materials.. And its American Made! Im getting my father 1 and im getting myself 1.. My father is gonna love and cherish it and knowing him , he with dress down a deer carcass with it lol (seriously).. I will cherish it also
Hey Greg I’ve been using this knife for the last week since I picked it up from you at Grommets grand opening in riverside ca. I’m definitely putting It to work as I build high rise elevators and never not have the need for a small tool to pry or blade to jamb in smaller places. Maybe in the future you can release a jade g10 scale so we can customize the color ourselves using the dye method. Can’t wait to pick up more tools along your adventure in making the most versatile American made bad ass ASK multi tool. Thanks aging for the amazing work to you and your team🤘🏽🤘🏽
Ok Greg.... you had me at quality. Now you put tacky ass Porsche scales on it? I have to have one!!! My wife drives the Taycan and I want to get it for her. Why man? Why!!!!
Got one on it's way to me, love everything about it and hope it kicks my SAK out of pocket! USA BAY-BAY is more important than ever! Definitely looking forward to that Phillips!
You should hit up Appalachian outfitters in ohio to carry this brand. Your market for this knife in my opinion, is high end hiking canoeing retailers. Not necessarily knife and gun stores. Appalachian outfitters keep their high end knives in the glass case by the register. That's your target audience. You know how most of those people roll though, so I'd suggest keeping the politics a thousand miles away as you did in this video. Still waiting on mine to show up!
Thank you for more insight to this. Do you have a place to see what tools will come out next and what tools need a lot of time? I ask because I would want a knifeless version.
Greg, as soon as I can afford it I'm getting one possibly two. Love the concept. I look forward to all the other add-on tools the are coming out in the future. I am a huge knife guy have a small collection. Carry an American made knife with me every day. Could you put a list on your website listing future tools please. Very excited about this. Wish you, your family, Medford, & ASK the best in the future. God Bless.
I dont use Swiss army knives because the few that I have had use such shitty steel that I have bent and broken the blade. Using real steel with some beefiness to it is exactly what I want in one.
If you're looking for suggestions I'd also like to see an 1/8" diameter round titanium preferred poker that's as long as it can be in the handle, I'd use it at work to release sockets from other tools and manually check hydraulic valves and as a bonus a pipe cleaner
right you are! I had a beast of a time last weekend trying to get a new little Phillips bit out of its sleeve - think I settled on a dinner fork - but certainly shouldn't have needed to hit the silverware drawer just to load my drill - somebody's Grandma
Planning to get one but waiting for the seax or tanto blade. Price seems responsible for what you are getting. Benchmade recently came out with a multi tool type knife at $225. This is how much USA, high quality knives cost. My only suggestion is to offer non-plastic scales, maybe as an upgrade option. Knife looks too good for plastic.
I carry mine as a back up and use it every single day! I have wanted to carry another knife with me but I did not want a cheap SAK. This was the solution. I hope you have the best of luck with this new knife and brand!!
Hey Greg really looking forward to picking one of these up. I have three areas of application where I would carry this knife. 1st. is day to day, 2nd is as a camping pocket blade, and 3rd is when I'm out fishing. I would pick up tools based on those 3 applications. For the day to day application I like how you have it initially set up, although a small phillips would be a good addition. For the camping application, a small saw and an awl would be great. For fishing I need to possibly tinker with a rod and reel, and perhaps some minor work on a small outboard motor. Hmmm, maybe I need 3 of them setup for each application? I really love that you are offering the moduelarity of tools. Awesome ideas and product!
One more thing worth mentioning, this knife is capable of being the only knife to carry daily. I’ve used it to start a fire in a video that’s pretty cool. But it’s definitely an EDC knife. It’s fun figuring out all the different ways to use this tool.
So will you be able to buy different blade steel blades for the knife? Say it comes with s45vn and I want to try out Magnacut or some new super steel you guys start to work with down the road. Will you guys be making the blades out of all blade steels you work with?
i love the modular idea because while i love my victorinox most things on the model i want isn’t available so with this u can customize it to your taste plus i’m a steel snob so i love the highend materials and as far as price well look at the after market prices on ANY gec after its released my suggestion is to make a bunch of different styles , colors , materials of scales too
I finally got mine this week and have been carrying it every day. I have to say, it’s worth every penny! I consider myself a knife guy and I’m a professional Chef so I use knives every day in my trade and have a very good understanding of what goes into a quality blade. Great job Greg! Thank you
This is absolutely awesome. Ive always said that id love to see knife makers move into the multitool space. This is going to be an awesome ride. Much success to you in this new venture.
Imagine making something people can afford. Then it’s not pocket jewelry. Anyone that really works with tools doesn’t use a 200+ knife. At least not in any mechanic shop I worked in.
This is basically "Fear of Missing Out" So you finally admit the absolute relevance & necessity in people carrying a traditional S.A.K. (Swiss Army Knife) instead of a $700 titanium flipper? I feel like this is about 5-8 years past due *or* you are just trying to butt in on the S.A.K & MKM market for no reason. Why are you trying to intrude in the "traditional S.A.K." market after all these years ? Obviously I'll probably get one as a collector.. however it seems highly greed driven after all these years. Especially since this isn't the first one, on the market. We also have "traditional S.A.K type knives" in M390.. a few companies have already been doing this. It's like Pizza Hut serving hamburgers. Of McDonald's selling spaghetti... Why ?!? It's out of greed & FOMO (fear of missing out). In this case, it's fear of missing out on a whole type of knife collector/user. i.e: the traditional knife guys.
I really like these Greg, it’s such a awesome idea . I would love to get a three layer version someday with a wharncliffe blade, a serrated blade and the flathead / cap lifter and scraping tool. I appreciate what your doing, I love to buy American made. Thank you
The fact that your guys at the factory have the spare time to manufacture a custom designed knife for you while the rest of us losers are still waiting to get our knives that you promised to deliver by second quarter of 2022 and has not yet been delivered is pretty amazing !! Wow
They just printed on some scales. The knives are delivering on schedule. The remaining knife models have experienced their own production tempos independent of our printer.
Love the idea of adding/removing tools. I thought it was just scales. I have used SA knives for 30 years. I use tweezers and toothpicks a lot. Phillips and the flat as well. Also, the little pliers that come in the bigger SA knives are awesome. And file and wood saw maybe. But the pliers a definite need. Totally would pay the price for what you do. Why I’ve been a loyal customer for years. 👏🏼🇺🇸🫡

I think it's absolutely wonderful..... I'm 1000% behind this entire project..... very very well thought out and extremely well executed..
This platform is going spread like wildfire in the edc world..I love everything about it brother! Semper Fidelis 🦅
Awesome greg the swiss army was one my first knives but havent wanted one again till now . This will fill the void i have i havent jumped to a multitool, but this is the tool for me. Thanks for everything u have done for this country and were still backing u .
Expensive Cell phone
Will be outdated in 6months and probably none functional in. 2 years.
Expensive pocket knife will last a life time…
Cool concept waiting on the saw and scissors tools!
Awesome Greg , love a good American made slipjoint. 🙉🤙
I'm definitely gonna get me one of those! That thing is a beast
I hate when people say it’s three times expensive because it’s made in America. This is way different.

I think it’s awesome. Want to sell a ton get Sezzle or PayPal hard working guys can justify 50$ every couple weeks. Thanks Greg
I pre-ordered one but I'd definitely order another one if this was the case, maybe a dlt exclusive one 🤔
I think for the materials you’re getting it’s a great price. People are charging 300 dollars for Chinese produced one blade slip joints.
Where can I get one in Canada, who will be the distributor for ASK? Already got two, a pretorian genesis and a criminal from my Medford dealer Blades Canada but they don't have this yet... Thank you

Greg, any thoughts on a pocket slip of some sort or will you leave that to the aftermarket guys?
I think your pricing on this is great!!! There is nothing like it with such high end materials.. And its American Made! Im getting my father 1 and im getting myself 1..

$240......Money Well Spent
Great video Greg. Very informative. Super product! Will sell like hotcakes!
When the tool set is ready I'm in. I'll carry it with tools only and no blade alongside my trustworthy gentleman jack. Perfection.
I'd love this with hard anodised aircraft grade aluminium scales
Thank you for more insight to this. Do you have a place to see what tools will come out next and what tools need a lot of time? I ask because I would want a knifeless version.

Have u thought of putting a one hand opening blade on? Alot of the pimpers throw dragonfly blades on for that reason.
Best knife I’ve ever had. Can’t wait for the other tools.
Medford army since 2016💪🏼
I want one. Now, I have to figure out which options I need.
I'm in when the wharncliffe blade gets here!
I dont use Swiss army knives because the few that I have had use such shitty steel that I have bent and broken the blade. Using real steel with some beefiness to it is exactly what I want in one.
Blade, saw, and awl combo would be so choice.
Just like horses and horse shoeing…it’s all about the “Perceived Value”.
Yep…. Get Sezzle and I’ll buy one!! Thanks!!
Should be actived tomorrow.
Has he added it yet? Tried to check out and can’t find it
If you're looking for suggestions I'd also like to see an 1/8" diameter round titanium preferred poker that's as long as it can be in the handle, I'd use it at work to release sockets from other tools and manually check hydraulic valves and as a bonus a pipe cleaner
right you are! I had a beast of a time last weekend trying to get a new little Phillips bit out of its sleeve - think I settled on a dinner fork - but certainly shouldn't have needed to hit the silverware drawer just to load my drill - somebody's Grandma
I’m definitely getting one
I debated it recently, but ordered one before Labor Day from SMKW. It should be here by this Saturday.
Can’t wait for more tools! I have the ATLAS and it has stayed in my pocket since the post man dropped it off.
Going to pick one up ASAP
I'd like to have one with something wild like zirconium scales or even zircuti. I know it would make it heavier but I don't mind the extra weight.
I was thinking titanium but zirconium sounds good too.

I wish there was an updated time line for delivery’s. I’m really looking forward to getting my Washington.
Compelling presentation Greg and cannot argue the rationale. I'm both interested in owning and stocking some of these. Awesome product 💯👊
This is absolutely awesome. Ive always said that id love to see knife makers move into the multitool space. This is going to be an awesome ride. Much success to you in this new venture.
Pure awesomeness!!! great video and the ASK knives are amazing!!!
Cool review! Even cooler you taking the time to to do it personally!
I have one on the way, I can't wait! I am confident it will be worth every penny
Very nice Greg. Well thought out and well executed design.
Where can I purchase this knife
Askknife.con
I want a corkscrew or a marlin spike
I will be getting one soon
Can't wait to get mine
