I’ve had mine over a year now and still love it the coating on the blade holds up really good mine took awhile to break in. It’s smooth as butter and locks up so solid the lock bar is about 60% and hasn’t moved I fidget with it alot. Mines tumbled ti and 3v with matching numbers im glad it would bug me if the numbers didn’t match but im wierd Cant recommend this knive enough I have hinderer xm24and 18 chris reeves microtech socoms a strider the only thing that comes close is my demko ad20
Don’t listen to any haters. Review any knife you like. Everyone loves small knives. Everyone loves big knives. Everyone loves your grandfathers knife just as much as they love swords. Review a big knife and own it!!! There are much bigger knives than the the 187. Review and love them all. Sharp is sharp. Great review
@@ScotchNThings big knives are great man. They really are. They have a huge following. I carry a large and small knife everyday like a weirdo 😂. But knife people are knife people. We know.
@@derek3154 big knives are great. I carry a Kizer Sheeodog XL sometimes, just cause. 2-3” pocket knives absolutely serve their purpose, but a lot of us like to go big or stay home. Don’t be hesitant to review and carry and love them lol
Hi. I have had my 187 in 20cv for about a week now. A couple days ago I noticed while opening it it gets stiff and kinda grainy. Has this happened to your knife. It is usually when I am working the action. When I happened the first time It wouldn't flick open. Then it went away and now just came back. It feels like a bearing but I do not believe these knives have bearings. I have requested a refund but I love the knife. Want to get a different 187 and hoping the new one doesn't have the same problem. Thanks
Ya they are in washers. You probably just have some junk in there. If it was brand new it could be breaking in. You can put a dot of oil on the detent track or clean the knife. Greg has a video on the Medford channel showing how he cleans his knives. Basically wash it in warm water then dry and he uses wd40.
Not yet which is weird because we do a lot of camping and hiking. But I have been doing some research trying to find my first one. I’ve really like the esee knives but even they have a bunch to choose from.
I love the 187dp. The 187f is pretty awesome also.
Ya I really like it. I want a 187f also.
Yea if you speak to Greg or watch some old videos, the numbers rarely match up. Still an original. That’s a beautiful knife! Love Medford
Ya it’s going to be a great knife. I love getting them broken in.
@@ScotchNThings Medford’s break in wonderfully. They’re really a perfect example of American manufacturing. Old school stuff
🤘🏼
Interesting to see it in a velvet bag. I just got mine last month from DLT Trading and it had the FDE Medford hard case.
Ya I don’t know if it was older stock or what.
That's a nice blade man!
I do like Medford’s. Not all of them are for me but somehow this one is. It looks like a brick but it’s surprising comfortable.

I want to pick up a demco sometime. Ya I love the 187. I just started carrying it as my edc and it’s really getting smooth. I want to get a 187fl now.
I want a flipper also love the looks but the actual flipper turns me off a bit I don’t think I’d like that weird style of flipper sticking out so far

It is big but I like how you can choke up on it.

I got 2 ZT0350’s and anything smaller feels odd to me now.

Derek ya once you get the de to a bigger knife it’s hard to go back.

Big blade, but it carries surprisingly well- solid as a rock...👍
Ya I’m really liking it
@@ScotchNThings If you got any interest in trading for anything, let me know. Got a few I'm going to be selling soon...thanks.
Damen0530 will do what do ya have.
@@ScotchNThings ill shoot you an e-mail...
Quickly looked at the price then promptly closed the video before I get in trouble😭. Nice blade shape for sure.
Haha. Watching videos has got me into a lot of trouble
@@ScotchNThings *points at Steve* 👀🤣
Do you collect any fixed blades?
