Just wanted to open a thread for the up coming release of the American Service Knife (ASK knife) made by Medford Knife and Tool. It’s a Modular Multi-tool similar to a Victorinox Swiss Army knife. Able to switch out tools and blades to custom fit to your needs. They are releasing 4 basic configurations in January with other tools and kits coming later.

Personally I’m really excited for these. One thing, being made by Medford it’s a beefy tool. The blade and tool stock is thick. Hardware is titanium as well as the liners. The tools and blades are made of high quality CPM steels. Everything on their Instagram page is making this to be a great option for guys who want a easily customizable, high quality and heavy duty multi tool.
 
Thanks for the heads-up, sounds interesting, I'll be looking to see what Medford comes up with.
 
I’ve been patiently following along on instagram waiting for the release. Various scale colors and blade designs are going to make it a very personalized knife…and there’s more tools (including scissors) for these to come.

As soon as I saw the photo, my first thought was, "Gotta get Jack Black Jack Black to make a ruling on the blade on the left!"
(My second thought was, "And that blade on the right might be one of those 'lambcliffes'.")

LOL! 😁 Two very cool blades Gary :) :thumbsup:
 
I realize this isn’t the most traditional but it is a slipjoint and I know quite a few guys who love customizing their SAKs. They will quickly tell you that the $240 entry point is good compared to custom SAKs. These have halfstops on all the tools and blades. Not to mention the heavy duty construction plus better steel used. I’m game for a Washington model. The standard tools are for a AR-15 kit. A bolt cleaning tool and the cap lifter the holes are used for determining range of an adult male at different distances.

Interesting news! If the market welcomes them, I hope they're successful. However, if Medford can't make them with very thin stock, very slicey blades, they'll be defeating one of the biggest strengths of SAKs and similar knives. It may be cheaper to make them with thin blades, but that's also why they cut so well.
