Considering how obtuse the edge is on medfords, they wouldn't be my first choice for killing myself.

Can you imagine if they made a SAW movie where the people only had medfords?

Major lol.

As someone who has had many bouts with suicidal thoughts and attempts, the name of this sickens me. Seeing this, you couldn't pay me to own one of their knives. Next they'll come out with a submachinegun called the genocide machine.

I don't claim kin to them. :)

To the OP, I won't buy a Medford because I don't like their products or the model names they give them.
I also won't buy Cold Steel knives because they market every knife as a "weapon".

Who really cares what the knife is named, I don't. Fit and finish are much more important. The worst name for a knife I have ever found was the LA Gear TBFK. The TBFK stands for the The Best F----- Knife. Crude?

 
The way some of you people's sensibilities are so fragile, you'd not last in the military, much less as Infantry.

I've lost friends to suicide due to things experienced during our deployments, and I've struggled with suicidal thoughts as well, from things overseas, as well as being in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship with an ex-wife with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Yet - I picked myself up and drove on. Because that's what human beings do.

The name of a knife doesn't offend me, and the fact it's offending people shows how weak-minded some people in the community truly are.

Don't virtue signal about suicide unless you've been there. Don't grandstand about "oH iM oFFeNdEd!" by trying to sit on your pedestal and try and speak about something so trivial as a knife name, when you haven't been there. :rolleyes:
 
I believe the name of the knife is the swift and will have a safety switch on the regular models. “Suicide” swift because of not having a safety lock switch on these models. Get it? Because ppl think that it might fly open in your pocket and stab yourself, possibly killing you.

Former infantryman of 5 years, best recruit 2006 3rd best shot with steyer AUG 2006 and 3rd best shot with Bren LMG 2006, the name is shit and the people who find it distasteful are not weak minded.. its distasteful and im sure he knew this when he named it that.
 
So much as is possible to you , try to look beyond words to discern true intentions and motives .

Words are cheap . To the sociopathic cynical manipulators behind advertising and political rhetoric , words are a simply a tool of control and deception .

Don't be a mindless puppet ! Peer behind the curtain of BS . Don't let your thoughts and emotions be ruled by mere empty words .

In this case the intention is fairly harmless, IMO . Ironic / sarcastic reference to the assumed risk of no safety on the knife . Not at all related to the actual suicide "epidemic " , tragic as it may be for those effected .

Sounds like a “faux pas” and IMO they may have found something with more classy into the roman history if they wanted to mean something connected to suicide or whatever

Their products may have some unusual specifications so far they managed to find some coherence and style in their naming
 
SMH.
People get offended at anything these days.
How many members offended, own "fighters", Bowie's, daggers, katanas, trench knives, etc, whose designed was specifically based on combat?

Is it a silly name? For sure.

At least it's not an unpronounceable imaginary word.
 
I think almost all knife names are a bit dumb outside of a name after a designer, a function (Skinner/bushcraft/Hunter), a style (drop point/ kephart/nessmuck) or a neat location of origin or design. All others should just be given a number. lol
