It us truly hard to describe how massive and solid this knife it. I'm not sure what the blemish is on mine, but it was sure a great price for an indestructible folder.

The Bounty is very well made. Its frankly incredible how well balanced it is to be such a large package. It will be an excellent addition to my kit and assault pack.

I really could not find a Blemish, so I feel like I made a Excellent purchase. I have done a bit of research on this product and have heard Great things from other people I know. I really like how this feels in my hand after adding the monkey tape. I will be adding it to my EDC.

I really like how the monkey tape works when you are putting it on the MDV. I feel it really enhance my grip. Plus I have more that enough for my next purchase.

This is my second privateer I have purchased last one was lost to TSA. Being in the military i have to travel but I always carry my knife, so I am super happy to have it back in my pocket. It’s strong, smooth and well built.

I couldn't be happier with the blem Aculeus FDE. It took a close look to find the blemish. Nobody has noticed it until I show them. I'm glad I managed to get one while they lasted.

When you’re getting “up close and personal” TRANSFORM !!! This thing is tops, my new favorite blade. Took 7-8 throws to find a stick balance, long enough for a tickle finger (as demonstrated) and sharp enough to be careful with out of the box. This thing is every bit a five star blade and comfortable in both positions, but drives the point when in push !! If you’re on the fence jump over it is worth way more than the price atm! This blade will gain popularity so get one before the price is raise...

The experience was seamless! Very good communication and fast shipping. The blades I got were from the blemishes sale, looking over them carefully I can fine no flaws at all. That tell me alot about their attention to detail. Great product, will definitely buy from again.

Great knife I took some hardware off an old sheath and rigged it to eyelet of my boot, great boot knife !

MDV Plus One

Heath W.

The knife itself is as awesome as it is unique, but the special sheathe is equally impressive. Not only is it very comfortable to wear and extremely low profile, but the sheathe hooks into even things like the seams in gi pants or other athletic gear. Allows for a very smooth and quick draw. The trainer is also high-quality and a greatly appreciated inclusion. This is my first EDC knife, but honestly, I'm not quite sure what could top this knife/sheathe combo. Just an excellent deal all aro...

Ryan B.

Wrapped and ready. I got 2 of these on the pre-sale and couldn’t be happier. I even put some monkey tape on my AK charging handle. Great idea. Awesome knife. Can’t wait to train with it.

MDV Plus One

Matt S.

I've had this knife for a couple of days and can honestly say the quality is outstanding. I'm glad I got to be part of the presale. It was worth the wait. I will say the first day I carried this knife I did not wrap the handle in any way, but the more I handled it and tried to manipulate it, I realized that it's going to need wrapped in some way. I found the video on youtube of Mr. Donvito showing how he wraps his and I gave it a try and couldn't be happier. It's a bonus to have a knife han...

Jordan W.

I bought one of these for the pre-sale, and although it was a long wait, it was well worth it. I’m not very knowledgable on blades, but I can tell a massive difference between this and my old blade. Fantastic quality. Once I get better with blades, and after trying this out, I fully intend on making another purchase from you guys. I’ve already recommended this site to other family members. Keep up the great quality and selection!

Thomas W.

Well it was one hell of a wait since ordering in December, thanks Cali. However not the fault of the great crew at Skallywag! Want to make that perfectly clear. If you are a knife/blade guy or gal these knives and daggers are extremely well designed. Made from high quality materials at an unbeatable price. I carry a fixed blade and dagger everyday for self defense. If you're looking for a blade you can bet your life on. Look no farther and let Skallywag Tactical provide the tools for imple...

Thomas W.

First and foremost. Tell me who else offers a knife of this caliber with a training knife for this price. I can tell you, no one other than Skallywag Tactical. I personally carry a fixed blade knife and dagger every day for self defense. When it comes to self dense you don't go cheap and training is 90% of the battle. So again Skallywag has you covered with flawlessly designed and quality tools. I will definitely be making future purchases to add to my line up and excited to see what's to ...

This was the first knife I purchased from Skallywag Tactical. Now I own three others and come Xmas, my brothers will own a Skallywag blade, as well. And yes, my monkey tape is in transit.

MDV Plus One

Steven E.

This is my Skallywag collection so far. The alumni. dagger, the Guardian, D2 dagger, & the Tact. pen. I carry the D2 daily, does' t matter what I'm wearing, it stays secure inside the waistband. The Guardian means business! I carry the alumni. dagger on an EDC Bag. The tact. pen is on the bag as well. Great products! You get what you pay for& that is a Fact.

MDV Plus One

Ryan S.

I wrote and re-wrote this review a few times as my opinions on the knife evolved. I exchanged some messages with Michael DonVito as well as Skallywag, and ultimately made some changes, but I am very pleased with the end result. I got one of the last full kits during a blemish sale. While I really appreciated the full kit, I remember when Skallywag was having a difficult time getting these knives in stock to fulfill pre-orders. By breaking the kit up, they can re-stock individual items even i...

The D2 dagger is expertly forged with high quality materials and is extremely sharp.. FDE finish was the right decision.

Austin M.

Great little self defense object here that actually contains a very smooth writing ball point cartridge inside. Just over a quarter inch longer than your standard clicker pens this thing can be used in a snap to put some distance between you and an attacker. They'll let go after realizing they've been poked with what they think is a pen and it will also do a gnarly, painful wrist lock. Having a glass breaker these days is always a plus as the potholes in these roads are getting ridiculous and on...

Edward W.

Well there it is, 'The Bounty' is the latest and most welcome addition to my wall-o-mayhem :) And this is my second and updated review for this blade, my first was just an 'It's OK' due to some struggles I was having with the new sheath being tight even though The Bounty itself is stellar. It seems you just have to work the sheath a little more than I had... HOWEVER, aside from The Bounty being an awesome blade with the toughness, length, and two-handed capability I desired, what really has so...

Jim C.

When I read the description of the Razor back on the Skallywag website, I didn’t realize how hefty this knife was. It’s Thick. It’s Durable. It’s definitely a Chunky Monkey, as described on the website. I love it! It’s heavy, so be prepared.

Curtiss L.

This is the third different blade I have purchased. The others the Karambit and the Orca. Everything about this company is first class. Customer service, communication, prompt delivery and most of all, the product itself. Just rock solid, hefty, but balanced and out of the box sharp blades. The quality per dollar spent is ridiculously good. Love this company!

Bought on the blem sale, this thing is immaculate! I couldn't spot any blemishes anywhere, speaks to the qc process for sure! I've been eyeing this for a good long while, very happy that I was able to score one. Worth every penny, on sale or not!

After purchasing the aluminum versions for my ladies I decided I needed one for myself. The more I handle this close quarter beast the more I like it. I missing fingers on both hands so the design works perfect for me. If you have been looking at the two versions of these pull the trigger you will not be disappointed!!!!!

No grip mods needed, the rhino sheath makes the knife. Did some sneaky old man shit and mounted to my wallet which holds it for pocket draw nicely.

Kyle S.

Ordered last weekend, got it in on Thursday or Friday. Made about 3 cuts and loved how it felt in my hands. Having bigger hands I was a bit worried about the fit in my hand like other more main stream knives. After using it and cleaning up after dinner, I promptly went back and ordered a whole set! the fun part now is going to be fining a sharpening steel to match!

Got the MDV Plus One and it is all I thought. Watched the YouTube from Michael Donvito and used it to have framework for my wrap, which I tried to copy his with a few extra wraps. Also couldn’t help show off Skallywag collection. Impressed with everything I have bought!!

This is a tactical tool that when you get it in your hand.. you can feel the quality. This is one that has fit and finish on the top level. The Box and presentation is outstanding. Note how nice it looks now, because this thing is going on some adventures!!!

Joshua M.

I’m a large Samsquantch of a man and rarely find a knife that matches my size, this one fits like it was intentional made for me! Does not disappoint and everyone is impressed by its size and lack of weight (being Ti). This is my first Ti knife and I’m very happy with it.

Literally placed the order for the BDU cap and folding blade 0300 central time 2/2/23 and it arrived 1300 2/4/23 with no upgraded shipping. Also I got a notification that at 0615 on 2/2/23 it was already shipped. Amazing service and amazing folder pocket knife. Simple and capable.

Tape makes all the difference it’s an awesome knife but when you tape it it is like adding a handle feels good in the had and grips nice.
