Does anyone USE Medford knives?? Please share your MKT user pics, reviews, vids...!

Does anyone know where one could get a pocket leather sheeth to keep these in. My Genesis Medfords fit in the Chris Reeves large sheeth but the Predator T's do not fit.

I got my Medford Praetorian and was taken aback by the horrible lock-stick. I had planned on using it that day at work. Needless to say, I found it to be very impractical for a work knife, which is precisely what they are supposed to be designed for. I generally don't use expensive knives for my work, but this one was a gift, so I thought I'd give it a shot. When I called Medford about the lock-stick issue, I was told to spend a few hours breaking it in and it would be fine. I spent all evening trying to break it in and made zero progress. The knife had other issues, so I just returned it to Knifecenter and traded it in for something different.

I think the real "use" for a Medford knife is to take it out of your pocket and show it off to your friends. Some of his designs, like the Praetorian for example, are really bad*ss looking. IMO, that's about all the knife is good for, but that's ok. I wouldn't buy one expecting a great hard use knife.

I have one that locks and sticks also but only had it for a week. I will give it about a month before sending it to Medford to fix. I would NEVER EVER return it.
 
Since my first post in this thread I’ve definitely changed my mind about Medfords. I have recently bought 3 and have another one on the way. I carried my On Belay on duty at the firehouse this last week and broke down a bunch of cardboard with it. It slices pretty well considering it has a .187” thick blade. I also carried it in my bunker gear pocket with the rest of my tools and it rattled around in there for a while. The black PVD coating on the blade wasn’t scratched at all afterwards and is actually really tough compared to other knives that have been through the same thing. The D2 steel held an edge well and a light strop brought it back to hair popping sharp
 
I can't imagine a knife maker that says he doesn't carry a knife. That is bizarre to me.

In one of Greg’s most recent Instagram videos he said he was currently carrying a Praetorian Slim Flipper. He also pulled it out of his pocket and compared it to another model he was showing off
