In Less Than 5 Minutes…
Mission: To make the ultimate quality knives with obsessive attenetion to detail that serve the Doers of this world.
We’re a group of guys that like to work with our hands, make parts, and grind steel by hand every day. A lot of us are ex-military and former law enforcement…
We make incredibly tough and elegant tools for our friends and comrades around the world.
We try to carry the traditional craftsmanship torch here in the USA proudly, and we invest to keep the SOUL of knifemaking alive and burning.
We Make Knives for Men like us.
Can you imagine what our cities would look like if all Plumbers stopped working for a week?
How about if our Electrical Linemen decided to stay home?
How about if all of our Oil Riggers felt the “pressure” was too much?
How fast do you think just about everything would fall apart?
We recognize and make knives for the class of men who fight, fix, repair, build, forge, and protect.
It’s That Simple.
American-made isn’t a marketing slogan—it’s the soul of everything we do. From the steel we source to the hands and machinery that shape it, every step of our process happens right here in the USA. We believe in hiring American workers, paying living wages, and investing in local talent.
The Grind Room represents the core of our building—loud, gritty, and disciplined. Every blade gets personal attention from craftsmen who’ve earned their stripes. It’s slow. It’s hard. It’s sweaty. You won’t find many grind rooms like ours left—and by our standards, we wouldn’t be a company without it.
Machining knife parts is unlike anything else… You’re not just chasing tight tolerances… Most shops wouldn’t touch the kind of work we do—not because they can’t run a machine, but because they don’t have years of knife part failure & expensive mistakes under their belts. When you feel a Medford in your hands, or hear about that “bank vault” lockup, you can thank our machinists.
As you grow and gather the resources from your risks and toils over these years, you may start to feel the need to buy less junk and replace the items of fond memory with versions of greatness.
Not because they are flashy or trendy, but because they bring you joy.
Whether it’s the mechanical obsession of a high-end watch that reminds you of the first your dad gave you, or the sensory experience of driving and caring for a supercar…
These “items” of value and fond memory that outsiders don’t quite understand… To us, they serve as a personal reward to ground us in an otherwise disposable, junk-filled world of less and less meaning.
Our mission is to to be that incredibly tough and practical tool… that reminds you of your past and connects you to your future.
And we made it to last longer than a lifetime so you may find one day… you want to pass it on.
One of the biggest challenges New people have to Medford Knives is the price. They cost a lot of money….
