I'm tired of repeating myself so i am just going to address this in a pinned comment. Several years ago i made a video because Greg put out an extremely racist T-shirt, it was a live stream and we all discussed it. Literally years after the fact he starts talking about me Literally out of nowhere and i am not someone to back down so here we are. Its not complicated or hard to understand at all, its not about views or drama or any of that nonsense its very simple, the man wanted to bring up old shit so here we are. I have no intention of making another video about Greg or any of these issues, i have more then said my piece but when someone directly lies about me and spreads false rumors and other nonsense then i am going to address it and make my opinions be known. Watch it or don't, like it or don't it makes absolutely zero difference to me. Also feel free to roast me all you want it doesn't bother me in the least but please try to respect eachother, debates are fine but i have already had to remove one comment already that contained hate speach and thats the one thing i do not play with here, i don't care if you get along or have debates but respect is never to much to ask for. -Red-
I disagree. Nothing about that shirt was racist. It was satire. The “R” word is diluted and over used, and used to attack ones character, or cancel them. The shirt was honest.
You are 100% entitled to believe what you want too but that shirt was racist the same way the carriture of minorities in the 1920's were racist. Also bladeshow and dozens of other businesses in our industry all pulled Medford from there thier floors for years because of that racist shirt. I understand satire and maybe he genuinely meant it as satire but regardless very few others outside of his team saw it as satire. At minimum it was made in very poor tastes and anything beyond that is just straight racism. But again you are entitled your own opinion, as am i.
@@kosher8720wasn’t chairman fucking Mao who’s face it was on the shirt? I’m sorry but Mao was literally the second coming of Hitler. Any satire against that is A OK with me.
Greg? He doesn’t have a God complex, he is a diagnosed narcissist. You will not be able to move that needle, it’s like you having red hair or me being bold - nothing we can do about that.
I handled the OTF at Blade Show, and it was solid. I've bought two Medford knives to-date and have had nothing but great experiences - even after the initial purchases. Thanks for the video.
I like that Greg Medford exists in the knife world. He's entertaining to watch, like a trainwreck. Every few years he outdoes himself in being a jackass. The fact that simpletons will pay custom knife prices for his mediocre knives hilarious.
I can understand why people feel like talking about Greg is old news, because it is, but they should keep in mind that it's only continuing because HE continues to be an asshole.
I haven't paid absolutely any attention to Greg since my original video years ago, only reason I am even commenting on it now is because dude directly mentioned me which obviously got my attention and now here we are.
I have to agree with you. Why not just wait until all technical detail sorted out? I really dont understand. I dont like Greg calling names. He got beef with cutting board review guy also who found flaws with some of his knives and otf. I like medford knives being very artsy and all But I agree Greg could have been a nicer person. Take care
50 at most from his own words and it wouldn't matter it if it was 5 or 500, willfully selling a product that you know is unfinished is not only bad business, in certain territories of the world its literally a criminal offense. At the end of the day he made the choice, weighed the pros and cons and then decided to make the conscious decision to fuck over the very same people who allowed him to create his successful business in the first place. I understand it's ugly and most people don't want to think about it that way, but truth is truth and fact is fact no matter how pretty or ugly it may be. I do not like Greg, that fact at this point is well documented but as you can probably tell from the tone of this video, even I was surprised by what he did. At the end of the day man we all make choices and those choices can have consequences intended or otherwise and he knew that when he started this journey, just like he knew all that when he decided to make this choice and these are the consequences of that choice and if I am being completely honest, I really wish he made a different choice because this is just ugly, for him, for his brand, for his team and for our community.
Greg is gonna Greg regardless of what you say or how you feel, at the end of the day he knows knives and he knows business...tell me this...when is the last time you commercially produced a knife, in house, in the United states? or Ran a successful business with roughly 50 people for 10+ years? Plenty of companies do v1s v2s v3s....You wanna bitch about his political views and the language he uses, fine by me and I might even join you, but something tells me you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to commercially producing knives in the Unites States...
This is just sad. Your obsession with Medford, to be clear, is sad. It’s also a bit weird. Like creepy stalker weird. Meanwhile Chris Reeves Knives has a four year wait and continues to ship knives to dealers. Did CRK not sell knives at Blade? Where’s that video? Nothing against CRK, I personally don’t care about their wait times because I am not waiting on one of their knives. Just like you are not waiting on a Medford OTF. But you put out a video slandering Greg Medford? Again? I don’t even know him, but I can understand that he would be pissed. Freedom of speech? Seriously? I guess if that’s how you are justifying this… whatever this is. It’s like a twelve year old girl that got dumped by her boyfriend and now she has to talk shit. It’s embarrassing.
Once again dude mentioned me directly so I responded, it's not a hard concept to understand. This chanel has always been about talking about gear, the community and the figures within the community and guess how many of those boxes this video ticks? This man clearly has a grudge against me considering he mentioned me directly years later and so here we are. If you don't like these videos then simply don't watch, it's very simple. More knife and gear videos will be coming, watch those or don't it makes absolutely zero difference to me.
Please be respectful to one another in the comments, debates are fine but respect is never to much to ask for. Say whatever you want to about me, by making videos and putting myself in the public eye I willfully open myself up to that type of energy but others here have not made that choice so again please be respectful.
All this hate for Greg. I’m what guilty Caucasians call, a POC, and I’ve never had an issue with Greg or his knives. I bust his ⚽️ when I see him too because that’s what men do. I’m throwing this out there to balance out the echo chamber. !MKT knives are puro firmé¡
You are more then welcome to voice your opinions here man, I don't play that censorship shit the way Greg does. As long as it's directed at me it's all fair play just don't be surprised if I come back at you. 😁
Greg may be bald, but man have you looked in the mirror....I'm not sure a company would give you a job. Stop your hate buddy and move on. Maybe a psychiatrist could help you with that.....
Bud I own 3 homes in 3 different countries, 2 business and I became financially solvent when I was 26 years old. The equipment in my garage alone is worth over a 100k and I buy between 5 and 7 new knives every week, all the while routinely traveling for weeks or months at a time and having an amazing life. People like you crack me up because I know the reality and how incredibly far off the mark you really are and it's adorable.
None of this is new. Greg's been known for being a pile of crap for years so I don't understand why you basically disappear until there's drama you can put yourself into for views
This argument always cracks me up, the man mentioned me directly so I responded and that's not complicated or hard to understand. Beyond that how exactly would I benefit from the "views" exactly, do you mean monetary gain? Cause if so if this video gets let's say 20k views which it will never get, then I would make about about $60 over the period of years, considering I have a rough over my head and a history of expensive tastes means I obviously have some substantial source of income to fund my buying habits and with all of this in mind how exactly would $60 benefit me in any type of meaningful way? The answer is simple, it wouldn't which immediately makes your argument invalid. Nice try though bud
@RedwolfEDC be a bigger man and ignore it. Every time you let these idiots draw you in something happens in your personal life that leads to you disappearing off youtube. The Greg's had a horrible reputation and his business hasn't been doing the best since his last time in the spotlight that's why he's trying to bring you into it. You bring him into the lime light and give him the traction he wants
So I disappear off CZcams every time my channel starts to grow, 3k subs isn't big but it was never even supposed to get as big as it is and so I vanish for awhile to tank the algorithm or I just get board and go off and do something else. I appreciate your input but I promise you it's not that serious and I'm not that fragile, I do things my own way, always have and always will. Like right now I have 4 videos in the pipeline talking about various products and gear and I have no idea after that, not much new really interests me, most of our industry is just releasing copy and paste nonsense and since I have no desire to grow and actively do not want to turn this into a business I feel no need to constantly produce content like damn near every other content creator within our community does. Also videos like this cause my subscribers to unsub en mass so the narrative that any of this benefits me whatsoever is just funny to me. Regardless a new non Medford video will be released on Wednesday, check it or don't man, it genuinely makes no difference to me, it's all love and respect here regardless. 😁

i was about to spend 800 dollars and get the new balisong he has but after hearing this im glad i didnt

I saw through him years ago.
Never given the dude a dime and will never buy a Medford product. They are kinda dumb anyway.
Haters gunna hate!
Nobody hates on Greg because nobody wants to be Greg, not even Greg.
Where is he releasing these videos?
On the Medford CZcams channel.
