Bought two of these one for wife one for myself. Have used them for nearly two years have been on float trips in Oregon and Montana plus numerous hunting trips and other outings. Bounced around in pickup, boat, swimming, trailer rides, dropped, crashed but not burned. Still they look great and produce a great clean of grounds cup of Jo. Have used cheaper and more expensive brands over the years and these excel far above any other I have used pluss they look cool. If you like your Jo and time out...

This was my first Skally Wag order two years ago. Bought it as a blemish blade super cheap. pic shows the blemish, yeah, I can't see it in pic either. Super small scratch in finish you have to get it in light just right to see it a good testament to their quality control. Finish holds up great I bought the kydex sheath and it has been in and out of it, only God knows, how many times. Tip is needle sharp, stout heavy build to blade, if I have to take a knife to a gun fight this will be it, with a...

Bought the hole set with magnetic board for wife and me, plus kitchen chopper. Hands down the most beautiful sharpest and functional knife set I have ever owned, and board holds knives well. Son and daughter in-law liked so much we bought them a full set for Christmas last year. I have around 15 months on them, and they hold an edge well taken care of should last a lifetime plus. Was on tonight looking at chucks for son and me to blow off steam in shop during trying projects and wife seen the ne...

This is the 3rd blade I’ve gotten from Skallywag and just like the others, it didn’t disappoint. I bought this one just to have a lightweight variant of my Damascus MDV. Just know it’s intended purpose before purchasing. It’s essentially a super light, single use blade that’s meant for stabbing. Not slashing. It Does have an edge on it but it’s aluminum so don’t be expecting it to be anywhere near as sharp as the D2 or Damascus models. This is mainly for convenience (weight / price) and penetrat...

I just received my Damascus MDV and I couldn’t be happier. Excellent quality from the blade to the sheath all the way down to the packaging. The MDV feels great in the hand, carry’s well and is razor sharp right out of the box. Michael Donvito knocked it out of the park with this design. I highly recommend the MDV (and anything else Skallywag has to offer) for your EDC needs. You won’t be disappointed. 👍🏻🔪

I ordered some of the mini fixed that were blemished, first you can’t really even tell they are blemished and are still excellent, so excellent I just place another order to give to some friends. Awesome quality blades definitely adding to my edc.

The Skallywag Tactical Rock glass is, like their blades, solid, beautiful, and functional. It's my go-to glass for my favorite adult beverages.

To say I love the MDV Plus 1 is a very true statment. Then I got the Damascus MDV, and wow! In one word perfection. The the pattern is subdued and very attractive. The over all non glare finish is a big plus to its predecessor. I don't know if it does, but it seems like the finish adds to help with retention in the hand, and during transitions. It is not as slick as the coating on the other model. The weight and size are the same as the other model, another big plus. Get one and see for your sel...

Small, lightweight, razor sharp... I love it, only had it a week? Maybe less, and already thinking about getting one for my wife, the D2 dagger was my choice before but.. this tiny thing takes the crown! Definitely worth the $ spent... don't think about it, just get one!

This knife is my favorite, carry it everyday and use it constantly. I’m be done everything from cut boxes open and cut rope to slaughtering a lamb and skinning a bear! The D2 Tool steel is one of my favorites as it takes and holds an edge exceptionally well and resharpens easier than some of the fancier harder steels out there. Exceptional knife worth every penny.

Waited for a few months to get back in stock, so I could get one. Worth the wait. Love this monster. Only had it a few days but, wow, it handles great and shaving sharp! Already cut a few limbs and waiting for some tatami cutting mats to really have some fun.

Perfect size and weight, very convenient. Unfortunately I haven't been forced to stab anybody with it so I cannot speak first hand on that 🤷‍♂️

I usually carry a large folder, so I’m used to the weight and bulk. With that said, the Jolly Roger has pretty thick handles, making it a little bulky as EDC. BUT, it is extremely light for its size and has a great feel while using it. It deploys very nicely and locks up really solid. In my opinion, every belt clip knife should have the option to move the clip to suit the individual. Overall, I do like the JR and will definitely recommend Skallywag to anyone that might be looking for a qua...

This a blade designed and built for a warrior. I can definitely see the Redonda being the future blade of the USMC.

Clip works well but not best suited for the MDV-1 sheaths, and screws do not fit the MDV-1 click-in after market sheath.

Love all of Craig's blades, but none make me want to jump on a ship and start slitting throat's like this beast. Well done Skallywag!

Sheath fit, finish and retention are great. I really like the slots milled into the sides to give you more options.

Best blade ever carried. Yes it is hefty but it’s also a great equalizer. Like insurance, hate to use it but glad to have it.

Good weight, a very sophisticated weapon and very useful to someone without any understanding, it is a very powerful weapon and with very lethal training.

This is an absolutely impeccable knife!! Snagged this during one of the blem sales and it's never left my pocket. From the textured scales to the swift action, it's a well balanced EDC. I find myself fidgeting with it during phone calls, it's size is complimentary to my hand. Another great knife Pirates!! Thanks Skallywag!!
