Jerome B.

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

Antonio D.

I love this dagger. It was the same one I had on the set of Superman and I wanted to have a memento to the experience. The quality can definitely be seen in these blades!

Corey V.

I have been waiting for at least two years for these to be back in stock. When they became available, I was super stoked! I purchased the standard D2 versions with trainers. I will say that this knife is heavy compared to the trainer. This is due to the difference in materials; mainly due to the fact that the trainer is manufactured from aluminum. The trainer is a definite must being that the live blade is extremely sharp upon purchasing. The mdv is so sharp that when removing from the sheath s...

Walter M.

I bought the professional Guardian serrated,and it is a beast. Not for carving a turkey. It’s for deep trusting and it’s built like a tank. I’m a former Marine and a retired heat treater so I love a good knife and I know steel. I love D2. Harder than Chinese arithmetic but tough,not brittle. Wide spine with a deep concave grind to allow for more wigth in the spine. The point switches to a diamond point for added strength and mass. It’s a tank. Serrations are sharp but tough. It’s expensive but w...

Jerry H.

Skallywag never disappoints and they didn’t with this knife. It’s well-made, as expected from Skallywag, and sharp as can be. The handle was a bit smaller than I thought it would be but still fits my hand. I added a small paracord lanyard to ensure no fumbling if I have to draw it in a hurry. It’s a nice “little” addition to my Skallywag collection.

Rodney N.

Very sharp out of the box, excellent fit and finish. Instead of using grip (monkey) tape I used about 30 rubber o-rings to add grip and a little padding on the handle. Great sheath that accommodates a fast draw. Highly recommended.

Kristopher K S.

Great folder, larger and heavier than expected, smooth ball bearing action. Solid lock, and good steel, exactly what I’ve come to expect from Skallywag. I picked up one for dad and a few others for myself, my brother, nephew, etc,…

Curtis M C.

As you can see, I have many of your tactical knives . This folder is my favorite EDC. I love how it deploys in many useful ways . I love the shape and the functionality of the blade and it is very sharp. Would recommend this folder to anybody that wanted a really good EDC !

MDV Folder D2

Ryan K.

The ergonomics of this knife are perfect for my XL size hands. It seats so well in the hand and held in place by the frame on top and bottom. I really like the dorsal fin when open that allows me to push in or pull back with a firm grip. The ball bearings are still a stiff deploy. Flipping alone only goes halfway, requires a flip and flicking motion to deploy all the way out. It’s gotten a little looser the more I’ve played with it, but still requires that double motion. The frame lock is on the...

Curtis M C.

Beautiful, heavy duty combat knife ! Very impressed by its functionality . Very sharp, right out of the box. Can be used for many more heavy duty jobs ! I have been a martial artist since 1966 , I have multiple black belts and what I taught the most was knife fighting . During Vietnam, a knife was my primary weapon, which is probably why I now have a half dozen Skallywag knives, including the MDV plus 1 the MDV folder, guardian the Razorback, and now this beautiful Redonda 👌 !

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

Trevor G.

This baby is awesome! I’ve been looking for a top quality push knife for a long time. Most I’ve found are ridiculously expensive, or poor quality. The Duggan feels good in my hand, the blade is great quality and extremely sharp. I also love the size of it, small enough to EDC.

Pete P.

It may be a mini but, it's a maxi to me! This knife cuts like a razor! All I did was strop the blade. Now I got a 2" scalpel. Well made. I was nervous because of the price being low, but I am ecstatic on this blade. My new edc, in my front pocket. I plan on buying more from skallywag in the future. Pete P.

Jonathan G.

I needed a new EDC and I knew I wanted something similar to what I was already carrying. My friend showed me his privateer and it fit the bill perfectly. Nice weight, sharp blade, quick and easy to open. This was my first Skallywag knife, but it won’t be my last.

Vincent P.

Skallywag, yous did it to me again lol. You made another product I absolutely love. Firstly, lemme say that I am a HUGE fan of the Skallywag Daggers (both aluminum and steel) because of their design and operator friendly functionality. With that being said, I’ve always been curious of the MDV+1 design. And like when I bought my Daggers (and any combat tool I acquire/if feasible) I bought the MDV trainer first and used it during my CQB and BJJ sparring. Right off the bat, I absolutely fell in lov...

Stephen L.

I've been looking for a straight blade, ringed, EDC knife for quite a while. Until I found this one, every other knife was either incredibly expensive or cheap Chinese junk. Also, the fact that that ring is raised instead of lining up with the back of the handle makes it much more ergonomic than many other knives of this type.

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.

undefined review of Mako image 1 out of 3

Gerald W.

I own a couple of Skallywag’s fixed blade knives and I am very impressed with them so when I saw the folder selection I snatched up a Mako and a Wahoo. The Mako is an incredible knife. It’s EXTREMELY well made and feels very solid in the hand. The blade is a bit unusual, very wide with a pronounced clip that tapers down to a very fine point that promises to easily penetrate almost anything you’re likely to encounter. The blade, which arrived razor sharp out of the box, can be deployed and folded...

Ordered these three amazing products from Skallywag on their "Blemish Sale". I could not find a single blemish on any of the knives. I had several friends look as well. Did find a small issue with one of the sheaths. ( snap strap was put on upside down. Easy fix) Thank you, Skallywagtactical.com for such great products and service.

undefined review of MDV Trainer (Blue) image 1 out of 1

Joel L.

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.

MDV Trainer (Blue)

Clint D.

I love this blade! Very cool and effective design. I have fairly large hands and I can get all four fingers wrapped around the grip. And that's not always possible on most easily concealed self-defense knives. Highly recommended.

MDV Plus One

Craig K.

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.

Antonio F.

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 💜. 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...

Omar S.

So far really love this knife. Came sharp as hell. It’s comfortable any way you handle it, in regular grip or reverse grip. Only thin I didn’t like was the bulky belt clip , easily removed added Discrete Cary concept clip works well for now. Still very new to me so I will be carrying it a lot more . I trade off between the MDV and this they’re both very good knives. Hard to choose between the both at times. Thank you everyone over at Skallywag for a bitch’in blade.

Skeletor

Christopher D.

The perfect EDC self-defense knife. It conceals well whether in the pocket or on the belt. It disappears. Most knives are a one trick pony; I can eye gouge with it, apply pressure points, and handle it while shooting. I love it enough to start gifting it.

undefined review of MDV Folder Titanium image 1 out of 1

Michael M.

I bought this MDV folder back in October as a “blem” blade. After receiving it I couldn’t find a scratch on it. I did some research and it was sold as a “blem” because the glass breaker would come loose. I enjoyed this because I took the glass breaker off anyway. Although I haven’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 couldn’t recommend the...

undefined review of Jolly Roger Folder image 1 out of 4

Robert L.

I own numerous knives from Skallywag. They are all well built and hold an edge incredibly well. They also last, but I like knives, so I keep buying. I have done a side by side comparison in the photos to show one of their more expensive folders next to a less expensive folder. Both are good strong knives, with the material and the actual knife body being different. Both are comfortable, albeit in different ways. Either way, you won’t go wrong. I use the Jolly Roger for every day, utilitarian tas...

So far seems to be a good knife. Haven’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

undefined review of Redonda Tanto image 1 out of 2

Ricardo M.

Been a fan of this design since seeing it on GM Bram Franks page. Love the quality and option of spear point or tanto. Now, if an EDC or CC version (7”-9”) was available, I’d definitely be in for one of those as well.

Redonda Tanto

Mike H.

Man what a fun tool! I have yet to use it but just holding it in your hand is a satisfying experience. I can’t say I’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 it’s worth mentioning that this was a blem item but the only issue is cosmetic: blade, spike, and handle are all exactly as you’d expect. Thanks guys!

Kaiponohea C.

The almighty EDC Kunai that looks as though it was acquired in an Outworld quest! I dig this thing, it’s a fine piece of craft I love carrying around! Now if only the trainer blade can hurry up and get back in stock I can work on my sweet sweet Kombat moves! Finish Them! 🤣🤙🏾

D2 Dagger - Damascus

Chris S.

Incredible deal for the blem model. So good I got two! I really like the feel of this; it is perfectly sized for a pocket. The sheath protects me when in my pocket, but pulls off cleanly during the draw. I also like the grip - not as cumbersome as a ring, but allows me to “let go” of the knife and grab something else while still retaining the blade. I’m looking forward to the trainer being available so I can really get to work.

undefined review of The Malice image 1 out of 1

David R.

I think the Malice is awesome. Great length and balance. The grip and guard keep your hand locked in, making you feel secure in high stress situations. Fit and finish is excellent. I like the safety lock on the sheath. Packaging is top notch as well. A great blade from a great company. Highly recommend.

The Malice

James H.

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.

Love this knife! Name fits me perfectly (I'm pretty skinny lol) it's good quality, good finish and very sharp. Sheath and belt clip work perfect and also look nice. My favorite knife for sure! Good job!

undefined review of MDV Folder Lite image 1 out of 1

Jordan E.

I wanted to get the MDV folder D2 but it was more than I wanted to pay. When this released, I was concerned that because it was “lite” that it was cheap. It went on sale and I bought one. I’m glad I did! It is very well made. Sharp. Tight lock up and no wobble. Grips feel good and grippy. Blade is thick and ready for work. I love the bramp. A little practice and you can deploy it straight from the pocket. Buy with confidence!!!!!

Gerald W.

I was prepared for the Jolly Roger. The Mako and Wahoo had caught me off guard. The Jolly Roger wouldn’t. Upon arrival the first thing I noticed was that the box was kinda smallish. At least it was compared to the boxes that the Mako and Wahoo arrived in. Well when I opened the box I was greeted with the sight of the Jolly Roger crammed into the box and occupying nearly all available space. It’s Hefty. When I picked it up it just fit in my hand. Not only that but it’s a good looking knife. It’s ...

undefined review of The Cairos image 1 out of 1

James E.

Knife is excellent, sharp, nice blade profile, feels good in the hand. Handle is grippy, works when wet or dry. The sheath needs some work. The spring loaded latch looks good, but it’s awkward to unlock and it doesn’t work for pocket carry, so I removed it and added a ulticlip. The blade binds when it goes back into the sheath, needing two or three attempts to seat properly.

Marco S.

Attached are just a few of the Skallywag knives I own. I own probably ten more plus three practice blades. Best knives out there for the money in my opinion. Skallywag takes care of their customers well above and beyond what is expected. My personal story is TSA took one of my knives that I forgot to remove from a bag. Skallywag was kind enough to replace it free of charge. I have more knives than common sense as I cannot pass up a quality blade. Skallywag knives make up a large share of my col...
