As a new knife maker, I went to Greg's shop and it was an awesome experience. He was very nice, showed me around the shop and showed me what he was working on. I reached out to alot of other makers and had many blow me off and not extend the same warm welcoming that Greg did. Thanks for that Greg and continuing to push American manufacturing. 👊

Your doing the BEST you can Greg.... I'm all for it..i wish you all the success.....god bless America 🇺🇸

I purchased a OTF from your daughter at blade show. I also shook your hand and took a photo with you. Very happy to meet you and your daughter. Love the OTF.

Hi Greg. Thanks so much for walking the Early Bird line at Bladeshow. I called out your name and you came right over and shook my hand. I really appreciated that. Had a couple nice chats with Roxanne at the booth too. Great young lady. I’m sure you and Amy are rightfully proud. Can’t wait to see what projects you come up with next. Love the two I have now.

Howdy Greg! Admire and respect! Thanks for all you do! Hi five to all at Medford!

Amy is The Bomb and is 100% always a pleasure!

Keep being the amazing person you are. So many support and stand with you 👍🏾

Very good Chris Reeve impersonation!

Greg the man!!! Met you when I was 16 at the old shop in Arizona! Great to see you still have the same spirit!

Greg. I get it man. I love your products, sense of humor, and views on life. It crap people tear down others.

As somebody who has been trying to get my budding knife business off the ground. I understand the expense and the resources that are needed just to start making your first knife, let alone the amount that Greg puts out, all the logistics behind it, the hopes and prayers of the people who are with you along the way and the possibility of it all failing if you are not 100% on board as the owner. I have nothing but adoration and respect for this man.

Love these little Economics lessons, have six employees and thriving business but my wife and 14:12 others never understand the main driving force every week is payroll and the families that count on all my hustle, congrats on running a successful American business.

You the man! Thanks for being vulnerable. The blades aren't bad either. Cheers!

gavin's knife is great, wonderful even. (but I had to send it back in for annual maintenance/overhaul). im hoping you can give us a longer service life/service interval

Greg, You have an amazing product. I have two MKTs and love them both. There is no such thing as the perfect knife or mechanism. I am always dumbfounded when people strive to criticize or critique things when they have never manufactured anything in their life. Usually people who do this have no control in their life and this is their only power.

Classic Amy at the end, rofl! 😂. Great video Greg ,I can't wait for the new knife runs!

I'm part of all the Medford Facebook groups, and there are a-holes everywhere... It's impossible to get rid of them all, but continue to make these videos and explain your heart, and those that support you will only grow... Screw the haters!

You are one of the main guys in the Medford knife/aficionados group on Facebook. And one of the few I actually interact with. I don't have a Facebook, so I use my wife's account. And strictly for knife groups. There has been an overload of Medford hate. I can't wrap my mind around why people stay if they are haters.

@@cassidyheaton1586 I know people are pissed about the OTF rollout, and Blade Show... I get it... But I think Greg is trying to produce the best knife he can, while keeping it American made... The phrase, "It ain't rocket science" comes to mind because some tolerances knife makers have to hit are the same as some rocket parts... And there has been a whole lot of trial and error in rocket science... The more he makes the better they will get, and those who choose to go first have to be willing to wait, and maybe in some cases send them in... Car companies do it all the time with, often times, simple design mistakes that aren't found until the product gets into the wild... Hell, even Apple with their Chinese army of workers puts out defective parts, or software... Basically I'm saying the more Greg gets knives in the hands of potential customers the better his knives will get...Having a few OTFs at blade show could anger those who have been waiting for their knife, but on the flip side, getting customers to see the OTFs sells more knives and overall tightens tolerances, and improves quality... If you don't like Greg or his knives, go buy someone else's... I don't care for Hinderers, but I won't bash a maker trying to keep American jobs going... I'll just choose something else...

Amy is so positive. She brightens the room. I dont get with preorder on a trial and error product. But then again what do I know lol

I kick myself every day for not getting in on the proofing strikes and that was a good south African accent sounded like my old boss

Honestly, should not have done pre orders for the knives. Waiting that long is insane, if it wasnt ready then shouldnt have done a preorder

I love stamped titanium clips. I'm a technician for an American small engine manufacturer (not hard to guess which one) and I've fucked up so many milled Ti clips climbing in and out of machines. The stamped titanium clips get caught way less and I can just re bend them by hand right after if they do get bent. I'll always gravitate towards the flat clips.

Hey Greg!! Just giving you a thumbs up brother !! Got like 13 mad Medfords love your stuff brother !!! Merica !! We need more patriots like you !!

Like it or not it’s entertaining God bless ya!

Good sir, you are mad at the internet.

We need a ALL USA MADE BLADE SHOW. ⚔️

Can we pre order the upcoming re-issue of the Viper?

Next blade the hustler

I hate and don't use social media for that reason

The ones that you sold at blade? Were those out of the original 200?😊

No, the hexagonal proofing strike was not sold at blade.

Greg I don’t own any of your knives. I don’t know k ow other than chat comments on your lives. I have decided to Buy a Black card with the mystery knife option. I am buying one of your knives and investing in your company because I believe in America and I will get a knife from you sometime in the future. Whether we agree or disagree it is very important too support USA made businesses. I look at this black card as an investment in America. if you send me a knife great awesome and if not well rolling the dice and taking on risk is what makes also makes America so great. I hope you can raise the money you need to bring Medford to everyone which makes my investment so important. Let’s go guys, gals and others an American wants to build something you don’t hear that everyday!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥

How much are these ?

I understand what you are saying I own 11 Medfords it will be 12 when I get my strike proof Merc dagger Amy said I am number 63 on the dagger list when do you think I’ll get it

Based on this explaination, I would rather have a production version, with all the upgrades you describe, than a proofing strike, even if it's limited edition.

Is that a Medford shirt?

Menga...at what 100k each...x 4000!!! That's roughly 400,000,000

This is what I meant when I said people need to walk a mile before they comment

Serious chic drama, on both sides

say what you will about Greg, but when he gets to talking knives and business, i can't look away...Also, I am trying to track down a chodey Eris, if anyone has one :)

You and the team keep doing what you do. Start catering to your loyal customers. Maybe do a Q&A session for Centurions every now and again. Respond to positivity and ignore the anonymous, toxic, lifeless pricks.

Fkn sad, shouldn't have to be wasting time explaining about knives being brought to the biggest knife show of the year... 😢

Doesn't success always breed negativity??? Seems like it does

Thanks Greg. Every time I hear someone bitch I try to explain that same thing. Your knife is a classy user. Just try and not get into the Microtech rut of changing colors and that’s the new model. I love mine and look forward to where you take it.

Dirk 🤣

It seems that people who have never MADE anything useful in their entire miserable lives are also the first ones and the loudest ones to jusmp up and down chimp screaming about useful things that OTHER people make. It's best not to concern yourself with the opinion of people like that.

A fuc n agree!

In 10yrs ppl will be mercking For a proof strike

It wasn't the button that I had an issue with. It was the praetorian blade version that disengaged after slight tap also they all say 1 of 100 not individual numbered...feels scummy but I will say I love it but even after sending in it still did it.

Dude has one post of a 187dp 6 months ago, but says he spent 20 grand on medfords? Hahahaha dude is a liar

I disagree with calling for a mass exodus from the Aficionados page. I worked really hard as an Admin to build that group up before I left to pursue other hobbies. I still think it's a worthwhile group

I agree. I just overlook the negativity. Every forum has it. Every forum also has members that are good as gold.

It sounds like you are just making long-winded excuses as to why you delivered a faulty product. It also sounds like you are mad at people for sharing their criticisms and want them to be forced to stop. How about just getting some thicker skin?

Sharod with the Med-Head group, the guy that personally vouched for a thief he didn’t even know or meet that scammed several people out of thousands of dollars that was supposed to be a partner with Jake Smith? The guy that buys used Medford knives and uses a “knife pimp” to mod then resells them at a markup that now has a void warranty per Medford policy? The one with Legendary CPM, certified preowned Medfods that are not actually certified through Medford at all? That scammer, that Sharod? The one that chose that name in case Medford went down he could spin the name as in “CPM” steel instead as a fall back. Yeah he is a great guy!!……… Not so much.

I guess you can’t handle any criticisms Greg. I’ve given you over 20 grand in the last 10 years. But I can’t have an opinion or any criticism of you or your products?? Take the criticism on the chest, and move on and stop bitching.

As a small business owner and someone who works in the industry I feel this. Everything from Bladeshow being 'meh' 🫤 this year, to making payroll. I will do WHATEVER it takes to make payroll so my peoples' families are taking care of. I cartinaly get it man, and have mad respect for you, the brand/mission, and your entire crew. 🇺🇸💪
