Half Face Blades or Medford?

[skeletorusmc]

I like both of the manufacturers but only want to sell one, which should I choose as a veteran and why?

I mean absolutely no disrespect by this... But the veteran perspective is... Irrelevant? To me. Not a pro or con at all. I know Half Face is, honestly no clue about MKT.

I like a lot of the Half Face blades, and really like their sheaths. Don't care for the limited drop business model.

The MKT knives are basically all completely unappealing to me, but they are readily available.

I guess I'm saying that I don't really see them as comparable. Same vein as "should I carry high end bolt rifles or ARs?" They're the same thing, but totally different.

Never heard of either outfit till this thread.

It seems like maybe they both use the same web designer.

Half faced I didnt find where they are located, or who makes their stuff.
They both seem like marketing companies, not manufacturers.

Medford said it was in AZ and seemed to imply they make the stuff, and said it was “designed, machined, and Assembled” in the US. Not sure what that means, but when companies start listing out manufacturing steps it tends to mean stuff is sourced overseas.

My opinion, as a Veteran, is that Im not interested in either company.
But maybe their products fit in with what you sell and the audience you service.
