Medford Praetorian Clone....

Will let you know what it is like when it rolls up

One question, are all their knives from the store clones?

One question, are all their knives from the store clones?

Yes…

looks like all browning, buck, chris reeve, extreme ratio, sog, spyderco, strider clones. Nothing else original or otherwise special imo.

Aliexpress doesn’t take PayPal and my bank won’t allow transactions for them to go through … something about their payment processor having a high fraud rate :frowning:

You are a very bad influence KaiserSosa.
How could I resist. :frowning: I did for a few hours. :slight_smile:

HOLY SMOKES!!

and if you can’t get it open fast enough…use it as a striking weapon…KERCHUNK!

And never drop it on your foot, open or closed. :bigsmile:

That guy has really girly hands.

Might be a girl with a deep voice. :open_mouth:

Ordered one.

Just got online confirmation that mine was accepted through the USPS sort facility….

Getting close……and mo’ anxious.

Seems this is on track to arrive MUCH sooner than most of my china gear.

Damn, ordered two in a second. This is a good looking knife.

Well she arrived today…and this baby is everything I hoped it would be and more.

You just cant prepare yourself for how heavy duty this thing is. It is certainly confidence inspiring and screams quality.

Interested in hearing everyone elses feedback,….but this one is a grand slam in my book.

Will pass it through the Spyderco Sharpmaker to get it hair popping sharp.

I’m quite impressed with mine too. The quality and the F&F is amazing.
It dwarfs the EL-01: :slight_smile:

Can’t wait to get mine…

That is a hefty chunk of steel. Interesting to see how it takes and keeps an edge. At $20, it looks to be a steal.

I’m still waiting on delivery, if this goes well I might try the Strider clone next.

Whew…just got the faux Praetorian beauty off the Spyderco Sharpmaker….

and yep,…she can get hair poppin sharp. Time will tell how well it holds an edge.

Also read today that because of the huge jimping…that it is waveable out of the pocket.

Will have to test that tomorrow and see how cleanly it comes out…and how much it tears into the jeans

Oh, and some of the Striders are nice too…especially the Kevin John ones.

Here is a video of one that TuffThumbz did for me with some custom scales…about 8.5 minutes in…probably my favorite carry.

My Praetorian just arrived - it was opened up and passed by Australian Customs and Border Protection.

It is impressive, a big solid chuck of steel, picture do not do it justice to the weight and feel of it.
Smooth opening and solid locking very happy with it and will be getting a couple more

Very cool Strider clone KaiserSosa, that Anso pattern is just right for the blue/black G10, and by a master of the scales, Toads and Tanics no less. I’ve watched Tuffthumbz’s videos for a long time now and watched most of them, he’s come a long way from when he started. Very like Gavko a lot of talent and hard work but they are excellent craftsmen.
