Greg. I gotta admit I was not a huge fan in past. Sense all this came up I’ve learned about you and greatly respect you!! So much I’ve sold all my knives to get one of yours. Hands down best knife I’ve ever had . Better yet is what the knife means. Stands for. Etc. wish I could have gotten more. But one Medford is worlds better than 1000 non American knives. Great work. Don’t ever change. Mercia!

Not to many of those bouncing around these days. I look forward to getting to know you guys better. Can't wait to see Medford represent at Mark's Knife Show 7/8-9.

Hey Greg, I really like what you are doing and what you stand for! I’d love to check out some of your knife models to analyze them and see what they are all about! Not looking for any handouts or free stuff, if you have any samples you could send out as loaners or whatever that would be awesome! I am a smaller channel on a even smaller budget but I have a extensive variety of knife reviews, sharpening videos, modification, maintenance, customization and more. I have the same values as you do and I am not shy about calling things how they are. I take pride in the fact that all my reviews and analysis are 100% honest and unbiased! I encourage you to take a look at some of my content and considering my proposal! Thank you brother, Sean

@rwp7222 жыл бұрын
It's great to see you two in the same video - it kinda reminds me of the time Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers sang about an Island somewhere - I don't remember the name of the song, but I know I liked it. I'll say China knives, in general, are damn fine knives and at a reasonable price point." That's good because it keeps American knife makers on their toes. If you need a knife because you lost the last one you were given, the price will be your primary consideration. Civivi will win that argument - there is no "novice" that is going to buy a Medford. Let the "Entry Level" knife enthusiast eat their cake because sooner or later, they will want a nicer American-made knife to be proud of.

Good luck with the acquisition ... sooner better than never. Thanks.

I personally support Greg (and Amy) and always have. I really enjoy how he isn't afraid to speak his mind. People are way too damn sensitive these days and are so quick to say people are either racist or homophobic. It really makes me think that the people that are screaming that, are really projecting that shit bcuz they actually think that way themselves. If people are looking at something that is not racist and automatically thinking it is racist, maybe they are the one's that are racist themselves.
