Medford Praetorian Clone....

EDC Gear for Flashlight Carriers
1

Whoo buddy,…it’s here…the China Praetorian through aliexpress.

The real ones take 9 months and easily run $1000+…(and are every bit worth it to the hard core knife enthusiast!!)

Ordered for $22 shipped…should be here in 6-8 weeks.

This guy did a solid video review on it

I own several Kevin John Striders and Chinderers…but I have high
expectations of this one filling that special tank knife edc.

It’s comforting knowing you could field dress a Buick if you had to.

This one should hold me over until the day when I can afford the real Medford Praetorian.

:stuck_out_tongue:

OMG that thing looks wicked. Any links for a convenient place to get it?

I’m going to resist, I do like the Preatorian, if I had the money for a real one I’d probably get one of Tuffthumbz’s Tanics. Todd Begg’s Bodega is nice as well and I noticed a copy of one on that sellers sit.
Only £300 for a Mini Glimpse friction folder and they are legal carry in the U.K., and yes I would EDC a £300 knife!

I’m not much for out and out copies but I don’t judge those who are, if the makers price themselves out of the market then they can expect people to look elsewhere.

Wow - thats only 22$? Looks like a solid deal for a clone…

I cant listen to that guy have an orgasm anymore _

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:

11

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

12

HOLY SMOKES!!

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

13

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

14

That guy has really girly hands.

15

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

16

Ordered one.

17

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.

18

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

19

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:
