I have quite an avid collection of Skallywag blades and this one, like the others is outstanding. Awesome components, very well made and sharp. Some of the best made blades out there. Huzzahhhhh

I have aways carried folders and pocket knives . I like how this knife is designed light but šŸ’Ŗ strong , and the rhino horn S. Is the frosting on the cake. Top shelf CO and products.

The MDV is the ultimate carry knife. I have it affixed to my belt with the retention holster ranger-style, accessible with either left or right hand. I love it & never leave home without it. I also ordered the trainer--I don't love it. Should fit the same sheath in order to practice draw.

I love your knives and the practicality they offer. I own a lot of knives and I would say that your knives just became my number one carry for everyday. Thanks for making such a great product.

This was worth the wait.. I was able to get both the blade and the trainer.. I love the quality of this trainer.. alot of trainers kinda seem like a after thought, I'm here to tell you this one isn't. If you get the MVD+1 you owe it to yourself to get the trainer also .. and FYI get two rolls of monkey tape.

Actually my bride got this one for me because I was torn between the orange and the purple Mantis. I didn't want to be greedy so, I chose the orange, and she surprised me with the purple šŸ’œ. I love that she gets me. Yes, as you can see I added my own flare. LIL MANTis man lanyard for ease of deployment, retention and acquisition. The clip is so it can easily be transferred to different carry positions or equipment. ie high, low, small of the back etc. You get the picture. I think a kydex sheath...

I love the design of the MDV. I actually thought a trainer was going to be included with the purchase of the Damascus version. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø I also think that the retention of the sheath isnā€™t quite right, even after adjusting the bands. Iā€™d better acquire another rhino sheath and some extra bands to see if I can get a bit more of a secure retention feeling. The rhino sheath that came with it just doesnā€™t seem to allow the knife to snap into a firmly held place, so Iā€™m afraid it might fall out if I move...

Michael M.
I bought this MDV folder back in October as a ā€œblemā€ blade. After receiving it I couldnā€™t find a scratch on it. I did some research and it was sold as a ā€œblemā€ because the glass breaker would come loose. I enjoyed this because I took the glass breaker off anyway. Although I havenā€™t had to use this knife (I bought it strictly as a self defense weapon) I carry it everyday. It has held up well being carried daily and is super lightweight. I have the original MDV+1 as well and couldnā€™t recommend the...

So far seems to be a good knife. Havenā€™t had the opportunity to use it yet in the kitchen. Just beware, the sheath leaves little strands in the knife so be sure to wipe it off before using it

Man what a fun tool! I have yet to use it but just holding it in your hand is a satisfying experience. I canā€™t say Iā€™m surprised because this is my 5th or 6th Skallywag blade but it keeps reinforcing my appreciation for the work these guys put out. Oh, and itā€™s worth mentioning that this was a blem item but the only issue is cosmetic: blade, spike, and handle are all exactly as youā€™d expect. Thanks guys!

As alway a great product at a great price. This is my 6th or 7th blemished blade from Skallywag and have never had an issue with any of them, real work horses. Will defiantly buy more.

Outstanding fit and finish, build quality is top notch in everything purchased so far. Went up on the Armory wall with a pair of Skallywag Valhalla to keep them company, among other implements. I have always been overwhelmingly happy with shipping, quality, and customer service from Skallywag. Top tier end to end.

This is the second ā€œblemishedā€ blade Iā€™ve purchased and I canā€™t tell where itā€™s blemished. I have the fixed blade MDV Plus One and bought the titanium folding version only because it was such a good deal. Again, I canā€™t tel where itā€™s blemished and, like all of Skallywagā€™s products, this one is solid and razor sharp.

I canā€™t say enough good things about the this Skallywag Duclaw. First time I saw this knife about a year ago, I fell in love with the aesthetics. I shouldā€™ve pulled the trigger back then, but due to other obligations, I did not. About 8 months later saw that they no longer sold them on the regular site (due to retirement of this particular line) and that I could only purchase it on the blem blade site and I needed to jump on it ASAPā€¦. And man, I am extremely glad that I did!!! It is now part of...

As many folks here, I debated about this one for some time. I figured "Zombie Apocalypse" tool. Reading the comments on how well it performed finally sold me. I've got a long history of blade training, and have always wanted one this size. I did not realize how much I would enjoy doing drills and cuts with it. Excellent grip design, I have huge hands. Love the hand and half grip, and all the options of use it allows. Truly a superb blade I am so happy with! P.S. practicing with it is a great arm...

The best edc knife I can imagine. Pair it with the Rhino sheath for the ultimate combo. Holds an edge well and easy to sharpen, I'd love a special run of these in a super steel. It's light enough to forget about while wearing it all day. Very versatile in use and quick deploying. This is my second MDV, more of a backup in case something ever happens to the first.

Straight up, I love all of my Scallywag's! Right to Left - Gunnersmate, my newest purchase - Great pickup truck knife. Next over - Spin Drift V2 - EDC Next - Hunter - Just what the name implies, Excellent for removing the Backstrap from your deer. The rest over to the left are used as EDC as well. The Bad Fish is Badass for carving anything. and last but not least, my Badass Slicer. keep up the Great Work Skallywag! Looking to see what I get next.

It's is everything claimed: exceptional design, fit, and craftsmanship. Quality in everyway. I have huge hands, this is the best fitting small fixed blade defense knife I've held. Secure regardless of which grip, and drawable under pressure. Note my tape job: thin band inside the 1st finger to secure the hold there and the thumb. The middle bump between fingers to lock it. The pinky finger small wrap to give a tactile "purchase"- gives feedback and a little lock in to know when it is seated by ...

If this is a Blem, I canā€™t tell. I have been through several sets of kitchen knives and they were only ā€œokay.ā€ This set is heirloom quality. My wife went to cut sweet potatoes and it was like a knife through soft butter. I love the heft and solid feel of steel in hand. One of my best purchases and soon to be, all time most-used Skallywag knife/knives.

No idea what the blemishes are on these but the build quality is top notch!!! By far the best blade I own from Skallywag and believe you me well worth the regular price and should be a felony getting them discounted!!! Good weight and action in hand not clumsy (like other blades of this size from other brands) and razor sharp out of the box. Bonus is them being tip up. Will continue purchase quality blades from Skallywag

I was totally blown away at the MDV+1. The build quality, the thought out process of tactical usage, the training videos, the fact that the owner & designer of the knives have actual Q&A videos for their customers. I could go on & on. Basically since my first purchase of the MDV+1 & trainer I have ordered a D2Dagger with upgraded sheath, 3 different colored Mantis, Deep 6 Karambit, the Gunnersmate, Double Trouble dagger, and the Duggan Dagger. SO YEAH THEY PRODUCE EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY WORKS OF I...

I think this BBQ set is not a simple set, but rather a set that you can customize to your liking, which will expand its performance infinitely. The sharpness of the knives is outstanding. The workmanship is as good as can be expected.

I wanted a fixed blade to carry on my body armor and I have always loved Karambits, so it was a no brainer to get one from the best knife company there is. I carry it on my weak side and it's attached right to my body armor. It's lightweight, and the blade itself is very comfortable in my hand. I'm using this as a duty weapon, so you can say that I'm trusting Skallywag Tactical with my life, and I do!

Iā€™m sooo pleased that it got through Customs! Such things are always a concern nowadays here in Canada! This knife is a thing of beauty! Extremely well designed! It feels very solid and the Damascus steel seems to be of a very high quality! It will be very useful no matter what kind of grip is used! I even like how the handle can be used as an eye gouge! I WILL be getting another one!! Thank you Skallywag!!šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘

I have many Skallywag knives and buy even more to give as gifts I was always hesitant to buy this Karambit due to the warning about gorilla hands I have relatively big hands and decided that at this price why not take a chance. Yes it is a touch small but I have found that I had no problem adjusting to it. It is so light weight that I donā€™t feel it when I carry it. This has become one of my EDC self defense blades that I find myself using more often than not I would love to get one in FDE but ...

I love this knife I took it apart to adjust/lube the pivot, added black hardware, and acid washed the blade. I think it looks awesome in both configurations. One of the most versatile edc self defense knifeā€™s on the planet.

My first ā€œcustomā€ axe purchase. I love it. Shaving sharp out of the box, liked it so much I immediately ordered a second one. May never use it on anything but it is so cool.

Scallywag Tactical is my first go to for a mew knife. I have several of their blades and even a couple "blemished" ones that are nothing but fantastic. I can't recommend them enough. Period.

This sheath is really nice has excellent retention, get a 2.2 slim ULTI clip for this and you are in business for multiple carry options and summer attire. I use this as my ocean swimming trunks and when wearing running shorts with the aluminum blade.

The aluminum dagger from Skallywag is the perfect edc knife/dagger and itā€™s what I carry everyday with my Glock 17! I have bought many of these for myself, family and friends!

I worked all day with it in my belt loop I was sitting down standing up carrying 50lbs of salt I didnā€™t even know it was there. Damascus steel at that price for a fixed blade knife canā€™t be beat. Buy once cry once. The way this blade is thought out itā€™s one of the best knifeā€™s Iā€™ve ever had.

Great Knife, strong frame, smooth action and very well sharpened. Perfect EDC blade, simple, tough and practical, blade shape is a nice departure from the norm, quite unique looking but very functional. Highly recommended.

Just a trainer and an extra sheath to use when practicing deploying the trainer. It works as advertised and with the trainer I can practice by striking a hard surface without worrying about damaging the real knife.

Not much to say other than sales and customer service were flawless. Craig in sales helped me with a maintenance issue, made me see that I had a lack of maintenance they took care of it for and the knife is on the way back to me

It's a really well made knife unlike other knives that I've seen that easily break or go dull after a few cuts. The knife is nice and sharp and cuts through things very easily. I really love the knife and I'll recommend it to those who want a high quality knife.
