I think i can be nicer than that. :D. No seriously aside from the extra bulk which just isnt for me i actually really like it. The blade grind is very crisp and nicely done and it just looks a lot more polished than other medfords. I honestly didnt even know they did a satin finish. I thought everything was tumbled, blasted or vulcan. Now if he did something slim and light i would probably lookin at them. But I understand they do what they do and i have plenty of options. But seriously, this may be he only time i say it. Nice medford.

Thank you very much for the compliment.
 
Oh yes Blues your right any sharp 1/4" piece of steel most likely would split a pelvis but the subject on this thread is Medford knives. How nice of you to chime in again, I can tell your the life at every party with your witty uplifting comments. You also strike me as quite the hunter by your on line persona, I could tell by your sawzall comment. Why didn't I think about that, putting one of those in my pack instead of relying on my knife back in the bush. I like to test my equipment before deploying, sometimes surprises are a bad thing but I forgot your a flicky kind of guy.

Blues Bender I'm surprised you have much time to spend in the wild being so active on a forum and a social media guru. Lets see, you been a member on this forum since Feb 2014 with 6,373 post. At 365 days a year that would roughly put you at 6 post a day, everyday for the past 3 years! Holy shit do you ever leave the basement or do you just have really good data service in the boonies?

Insipid Moniker isn't far behind either. Just so we're straight, Insipid, I'm perfectly fine with people disagreeing with me. I like to hear about another's point of view for my own possible enlightenment. Never came across that I didn't. I'm not particularly fond of my posts be misconstrued. If you need clarification just ask. I only dish out to those that ask for another helping. The fact that I told Blues not to be a instigator is because every subject he's involved in he's instigating. The proof is in the writing boys in girls, just go back and read the many many various post.
Keep the focus on the subject fellas. Sounds like you have a lot of bundled up feelings inside that you just need to release and this forum is your out. Try getting a girlfriend, their good for emotional release and will listen to your problems but that would require eye to eye contact wouldn't it.

If I could reach across the computer screen and touch the tip of your nose with my finger and say BOOP! That might make you guys feel better wouldn't it.

Again back to the Medford, while cutting the 2X4 board you'd think that hot spots would be present by the design but I felt none. This is good, as to find out you have a screamin blister after making a shelter at camp could be a downer. Also that D2 blade touching up so easily is a huge plus while in the wild or at the work site. Does anyone else have any crazy cutting feats they've accomplished with their Medford?
Best reply I have read in ages!! I have a good amount of experience but stopped contributing to this site because of guys like bluesbender constantly stirring the pot and acting like a snarky expert, but with no outdoor experience or wit to speak of. Everyone thinks they are witty just like everyone thinks they are funny. Anyone can see your experience, wit and humor are wayyy superior. Haha.. that basement dweller statement kills me! A young guy who has enough time to post 6 times a day, everyday for 3 years needs to get laid more. I want advice/opinions from guys like you who actually get their hands dirty. I'm busy traveling through south america anyway having fun with more hot little latinas than I can handle, and the knife life is pretty non-existent here outside of machetes in the jungle. Just wanted to give you props for an accurate post and I hope they get rid of trolls so I can come back and pay a membership.

As for the Medfords, I need to buy the lefty drop point when I get back to the states and thump on it a bit.

Well as a person who is very familiar with the area bluesbender lives in and having seen many post of his actually using his knife for things many would cringe at i would say you and deerslap have him pegged pretty poorly. What i find funny is you two seem to feel that if a knife isnt being used for outdoors activities that it somehow means they dont use them at all. Blues has a career that can be very hard on his knives. Dont let the clever photography fool you into thinking he has nothing but mint condition pocket jewelry. He just takes care of his stuff and can take good pics. But this concept that if you arent outdoors you have no experience or dont use your knife is sorta silly. Ive seen him use a knife on stuff that is arguably harder on a knife edge than any substance you are going to intentionally cut in a forest.

Blues is a good guy in my book. He just doesn't find MKT's appealing, which is his prerogative. The Medford's I've had were fantastic knives IMHO. Key is reasonable minds can differ. That said, proffering opinions based on assumptions (ie, without the benefit of actual experience) is, well, less than informed (not referring to BB). I have made the error of dismissing a knife (or handgun - coughGlock26cough) and disregarding it; only to later find out it actually works (and works very well) if given an actual try.

I have no idea who you are, and I really don't care. However, I'm glad to hear that my posts arouse you.

The (many) posts I make here are never about my obsessions with strangers, that's just kinda spooky. Anyways, I gotta go soon. I'm actually getting out of moms basement for once so I can go have a good time with a few friends downtown.

In the mean time, you can contribute to this forum by letting us know about any Medfords you own, and what your opinion on them might be. I'm opened minded:)
 
CPOTD (Constructive post of the day):

Wow all that drama for ugly overpriced knives that's amazing!

At least this thread reveals the ugly nature of some people here. Which happen to like Medford. Causality?
 
Correlation, causality, who knoes, engliss not me native tongue =)

Yup your review was nice and informative. BUT this was not about a Praetorian, it was about an actual knife!

Good point. :D
I do want to try out a Praetorian at some point though to see how it works.
The only issue I can foresee is the extra width of the blade; not sure if it would get in the way of some "woodsy" tasks or not.
Seems like they chop okay for a short knife, but I wonder about camp-style woods whittling tasks...I'll find out some day. :)

Not my video, but here is the only one I could find of a Praetorian being used for chopping:

This damn thread is making me want to order a Praetorian to find out...
Damn you Bladeforums!!! :grumpy:

:D

Yea be honest with the girls you try to pick up downtown and tell them that you've posted to a knife forum over 6300 times since 2014. Be sure to also tell them that you take the time to emphasize your important words in italics as means to drive your witty thoughts home. I'm sure they will be really impressed with a guy like you. If they aren't, tell them that you were going to take a break from the site to avoid pissing matches, but you just can't stay away.. The lure of your basement and typing to anonymous strangers about knives 6 times a day is just too strong. Who knows? Maybe they'll appreciate your passion. I seriously can't think of anything I've done 6300 times since 2014.. I mean other than breathing or scratching myself. Dude, do what you said and take a break from the site. Can you make it through your life for a while without chiming in? What are the odds that you will respond to this? I would say 25 to 1. Prove me wrong and stay silent for a little while. I learned a long time ago.. the more full the can, the less loud it rattles. And also, the less you speak the more impact your words have. Otherwise you're just all diluted.. And if I violate rules by being off topic, I'm fine with being a sacrificial lamb. My life is too fun and I'm too distracted by hot girls to worry about it. I'll lurk for a while and join again in the future under a different name. All good.

Not a General Knife Discussion discussion, izzit? Time to get dressed -- these posts is clothes.
