Hey guys I am posting this comment here since Greg decided to delete my comment on his new video lol. I guess he can't delete the post here. I decided to post it in feedback because technically it is feedback on a knife maker and its product/ customer service. Please MODs if you decide to move this somewhere else feel free to do so but people here in BF need to know the truth!!
I posted the following in his YouTube channel and instead of him actually taking care and proposing a solution he completed deleted it
I know I'm gonna get shit for this but here is the truth about all this. I LOVED Medford knives. I own a Preatorian G which is my EDC yes I CARRY my praetorian in my back pocket every day and night so I know what I am talking about. I trust my life to that knife and I know I can do that every time I have it with me. I also own a custom viper as well...paid full price and everything and I also carry the damn thing and I love it! But everything went downhill for me when I got a sawnto fixed blade! A $750 fixed blade should be engineered as a $750 product. I am an engineer so I also know my shit in that area. I don't pretend to be I studied the damn thing. I was super stoked about the fixed blade. I traded TWO knives in my collection to get this. I get it in the mail I was like a little girl. The knife and sheath came separetly. So I go at it and the knife yes it does not look worth $750 maybe $500 but whatever the folding knives are worth every penny...they are and I am being honest...maybe the viper at $950 price tag not that much a $750 would be much better. After I went all crazy about the knife itself, I have the greatest idea of maybe putting the knife into the sheath...maybe they were intended to be together I imagined. Oh my that's when Medford balloon popped everywhere in my living room. How come a $750 knife has a sheath that gets chewed by the knife itself. I have a zt121 and I paid $120 for it and the sheath and knife are wonderfully made. If someone is going to charge $750 for a fixed blade and give me a POS sheath with it that gets chewed everytime I use the damn knife that doesn't make sense to me. That's when I realized if the creator of this POS cannot wrap his head on producing and engineering a $20 sheath to fit the knife then that does not show me the whole knife as a package was engineered well. Why in hell would you make a plastic sheath to a knife that has serrated spine? I can understand he forgets customer names in videos and doesn't know what his guys are doing or grinding half of the time he is the CEO I get it! But seriously how many sawntos has been sold and NO ONE has noticed this??? Microtech got into huge shit because a pocket clip....maybe somebody should recall for free this POS sheaths and make it right for the people willing to be loyal to Medford brand and paying a hefty $750 price tag for 1/4" D2 fixed blades!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well here it is...this the truth and honestly somebody needed to say something about it. Pedro out!

but to give folks here so hard proof and to tell the truth. I sent them an email like 3 weeks ago or so and no replies and today instead of sending me an email because trust me I posted it with full name and he has my email he didn't, instead he just deleted it like nothing. I have no hope at all Greg will either read and/or do anything to remedy their manufacturing and engineering problems...after all he is Greg Medford. People in this forum also need to know for example that Greg only accepts Medford knives with absolutely all pieces of paperwork for warranty. It is not to proof you are the original owner but instead (and this is from a video he did about it) so he can verify the knife is not a Chinese knock off. Seriously man, you make and built and apparently hand grind every single knife that goes out and you could not tell your own product from a Chinese knock off???? If I ever hear Hinderer, strider or CRK say something like that I will dig a hole and put myself in it lol. If the Chinese knockers can make a knife as good as what Greg can make to the point that he can't even differentiate them then wtf I'm gonna buy them from China! I am just trying to inform people the hard reality of Medford Inc. I have almost $3K worth of his knives, and I'm worried where I keep my packaging now because I don't want to loose any paperwork. Would I still EDC his knives? Hell yeah I truly believe the Praetorian G is worth every penny and the Viper is an amazing piece of knife. You grab any of those knives and you really want to just stab something hahaha. I know jettavr6 story and I truly feel about you brother. I tried doing research about Medford and no one says things straight up the way it is. Well I am doing that now. I have spent $3K in his knives, would I buy another of his knives? Maybe if the prices are cut in half and he comes down from his self made pedestal and get humble for once and get his engineering up to par to his prices. It is UNACCEPTABLE to have a sheath like this for a $750 knife.
