Well this just in. Apparently this is NOT USA Made.
It’s produced from their normal oem (that they don’t disclose) but it was sold through their USA distributor 🙄🤦🏼♂️
Kansept
@@LUC.Knives I had heard rumors but not gotten confirmation thanks man.
USA made assembled in China?
Not that I care tbh
I understand that a company called “Concepts” made the 20 USA versions. Misgards-Messer made 200 of these and there sold by “Lamnia”…I’m fortunate to have purchased 2 of the Swedish made ones and absolutely love them. They do come with a case hardened steel pin for locking it open or closed. I’ve bat-toned with mine and it’s an extremely stout knife. It has been my edc for awhile and it has handled everything without loosing even the slightest edge. Everyone who sees it in public loves it. I’m used to carrying heavy knives so it’s weight is no big deal. But I do understand that it’s nit something for everyone, but it is definitely my type of blade. Great video!
Thanks appreciate the kind words.
I like how chunky it is. Thanks Buddy!
That's a chunky knife! Great video 👍
Something about this one I like
It’s interesting for sure.
Agreed. The hole has to line up with a dimple. This knife is the same size as my bicep 😄
Lol
Honestly I think it's a great knife. Fidgeting with it is fun if you use multiple fingers in the fuller and a bit of wrist flick. The cutting geometry is pretty great considering the blade stock thickness. As far as the USA logo it was hand engraved by Dirk Hoffmeister specifically for the US distributor as an exclusive run for them and while it isn't made in the US at least to my eyes and hands the fit and finish is better than many US made knives so I'm good with that. Overall I'm a fan, is it heavy? Oh yeah but to quote one of my favorite books "the sword is as heavy as it needs to be to make you stronger"...carried for a few days and I stopped noticing the weight so much. Plus, it's a great convo piece
I’m totally okay with the knife. I take issue with it being marked USA. Never heard of anyone marking it USA because it was SOLD here….that’s crossing a line.
@Dirk Werning there's actually a surprising amount of knives marked with the USA brand that aren't made here, I get it though it's just not something I've ever put much stock in
@@Rollshambo hmm I must have missed all the others I guess. Maybe I’ve not noticed 🤷🏼♂️
@Dirk Werning most of them aren't great quality knives..but for example Mtech USA is entirely based in China😂 trust me..not missing much there

MM folders are manufactured Kansept knives. The 20 knives with the USA logo are the first knives distributed by the newly started USA branch that will start with distribution and later manufacturing in the USA. I personally like the knife. I didnt like 3D printed stuff at all but carrying a knife that big is much better with the holster.
I wish it was made here. I’ve appreciated all the Migards I have handled and owned but non remain🤷♂️. They can’t all be keepers right.
Agreed they cannot all be keepers.
The fact that they tried to ‘trick’ the public into thinking it’s made here sort of kisses me off honestly.
i have number 7 of 20 usa made model, what do you think its worth to sell? im thinking about ebaying it
Well yours might be USA made I’m not sure. Too much drama around it.
Sell price, I’m not sure what they were new but I’m guessing 3-350 maybe 🤷🏼♂️
It’s stamped USA #7of 20 @@DirkWerning
I appreciate your getting back to me!@@DirkWerning
@@jdio1216 my pleasure I try to respond to all comments.
That is a chunky knife I like it
I dunno. Blade seems kind of narrow. Doesn’t seem to have much meat on it
Funky design. That blade looks crazy small compared to the handle though.
It is an odd duck
Interesting but I really don't think it's a Medford build
You are correct. It’s actually NOT USA made. See pinned post
Crazy
Indeed lol
They etch USA on the blade and it's not made in the USA? That's freaking terrible.
E X A C T L Y
I’m rather….irritated
@@DirkWerning there's a special place in hell...
@Josh's life. 😂🤣 Well said!
@@Joshs_Life lol
A lot of confusion for nothing. The three letters USA alone mean nothing in Europe, unless they are linked to "Made" or "Made in". All knives for Midgards from China are individually checked and lasered in Germany. The batch of the first knives for the USA was specially treated and therefore additionally marked - this was actually intended by Dirk as a "thank you" for his American customers. No bad thoughts, no deception, no tricks. Life can be so easy . . .
In his videos, Dirk always points out that the folders are manufactured in China or now also in Italy. On the German store pages it is also stated on almost every folder. Dirk hasn't been doing all this for very long, and he doesn't speak much English. I think sometimes it's all a bit much for him - but he certainly doesn't want to cheat.
And no, I don't work for Midgard's Knives. I'm just an old white man who has been collecting knives since 1965. 🔪
Sry for my lousy English......
@@DerAlteWEmser thanks for your info Sir.
🤔not made in the USA and yet it is marked as USA 🤔❓❓❓❓is that a miss, a lie...???? Not my cup of tea
Exactly.
That's a terrible snake knot lanyard i couldn't do that badly with my toes
That mis aligned hole is properly bad actually, its so obvious that customers will hate that and its just lazy of mm
I agree.
