Did you watch the review on my channel where I actually stab it into wood and Kevlar, and it UNLOCKS? An OTF that you can’t thrust? My review came out before the Blade Show, it’s a production model as well.
Yeah… I don’t have that problem with mine. It’s been fantastic
otf knives are generally the wrong choice if you want to hammer it through something, it's a relatively delicate mechanism that needs to be treated as such (same goes for dirt and grime that will gunk up in the handle and eventually cause deployment issues).
Love Medford ! This is definitely unique and USA made greatness ❤
I do dig it a lot
When I started collecting Medford I loved the midi marauder and they ceased production, then I bought a $1,300 Praetorian Ti and they discontinued that. Now that the Merc is having lots of issues, given Greg’s propensity to make brash decisions, would t surprise me if he stops production. Get the new Microtech Ultratech when it comes out and you will have a better clip, a more stable company, the absolute best blade locking, fluid and easy deployment and Zero Blade Play - no brainer at half the cost of the flawed Merc.
Yeah.. people keep saying that… I keep using mine and have zero issues. I like it a lot. I will be getting the new Microtech when it comes available as well. I have a bunch already.
I have faith that Medford makes great knives - which is why I have a bunch but I’m still kinda reeling from the discontinuation of my two favorite models. The competition - Merc-1, the Kershaw Livewire and Axial are forcing the Microtech’s of the world to step up - more OTF’s is better for all of us!
I do agree.
Look at Axial shift OTF
no blade play.
You commented that before. I’d definitely like to try one
The competition makes everyone better and we have Doug Ritter of Knife Rights to thank for getting autos legal in more places that has prompted companies to get in the game!
600 bucks and then they a extra 50 for the little bit to take off the pocket clip?
It feels diffrent??
Do you feel safe carrying one of these in your pocket, without any lock on the switch? Seems like it could use either a lock or a pocket holster of some kind to prevent accidental deployment.
Heck no. The switch is properly detented. It’s basically impossible to
@@DylanAndLeslieCool. These are illegal to carry in my nanny state, so I have zero experience.
The Merc-1 is more Combat Troodon sized.
I agree. I just didn’t have one to compare
Microtech especially with their upgrades are the only way to go. The Medford locks engage too small an area and can easily fail under harder use. Axial are quite good but the blade s are clumsy (the sharpening choil on mine is thick and the warncliffe blade is actually recurving near the choil. Microtech by comparison has blade grinding and sharpening at an art level. This MTK has serious issues as I said,the locking tab doesn’t engage the whole blade. Microtech is about to release the Ultratech with dual fuel easy deployment, milled titanium clip and zero blade play for about $350 base - no one compares.
For me, Kershaw Livewire is excellent, I bought mine today and the action is better than the old Microtech ones I've used. And for the price I paid it was very worth it, but this Microtech that launched this year seems like it will be the best.
Microtech is in the process of producing no blade play Ultratechs for not much more than the current price. They were showing them off at the Atlanta Bladeshow this year.
yeah im excited to get one
where did you find it? been wanting to buy one
Get Axial Shift otf no blade play!!!!!!!!
I have been meaning to try one of those
These knife prices are getting ridiculous!
for $600 it better have no blade play!
every otf has blade play, aside from the +2k hawk deadlocks which were specifically designed to have none.
couldn't care less about a little wiggle as long as the blade is safe to use.
Only a severe palpitation!
It's his first but bad timing ...microtech is far far ahead.milled clips etc etc etc..
Maxace Medusa.
zirconium..w mirror TAC blades... simply unbelievable...Quality is unprecedented
I'll be honest. I collect Microtech OTF's and the blade on that UTX-85 was sloppier than on any of my knives. An OTF makes a terrible utility knife and yours looks worn af.
It’s actually not been used much at all. I have four of them and they are all like that. Wierd.
more expensive ass medford junk
😂
Alright so a new affordable 10K knife from Medford…
Edit: just being sarcastic… but yea Prices are ridiculous… that being said i have it in the cart with Flamed Hardware and clip, Shirt and patch 738$!!!! 😫
But gonna treat myself after working 12 Straight Weeks on Nightshift 12hours a day with 1 day off…
Do you realize you have anti Trump ads on your video? Wow
do you realize I don't control any ads?
@cuttingBoardRx is right watch his video this is a $600.00 piece of garbage
Do you have one? I have had zero issue with mine. I like it a lot.
@@DylanAndLeslie Do a proper review clown
I don't understand the name calling, I am just showing a knife I like in a video. I have been carrying it almost daily and it has been fantastic. I am guessing by your response that you don't have one, and maybe you have some bias against the product? That's totally fine. you can feel how you want about it... I am just over here showing stuff I like.
