An altogether excellent knife! I have seen it compared to the knife used in Crocodile Dundee, a copy of which I also have, but the Gunnersmate is much better balanced. It also appears to be practically indestructible, being made of 1/4 inch D2 steel. I think that it will the perfect companion for a walk in the woods, not too heavy to wear on your belt, but stout enough to handle any use that a knife might be put to.

I had my MDV Folder D2 personalized with my favorite scripture 'Psalms 23'. The work was flawless and the MDV build quality will withstand years of use and it's got a sharp edge right outta the box.

Had to knock a star off sadly...
Bought two aluminum Daggers (a black one for myself and a Tiff Blue for my wife)
Let me start out by saying that I do LOVE the dagger, it's lightweight, the sheath is great (and it doesn't pull my shorts down when I'm wearing it on my waistband) and it's very well designed.
I had to knock a star off for my black dagger though...
My wife's arrived perfect and the box her dagger was delivered in was wrapped in plastic as expected - her dagger is flawless.

These are great knives to carry in the summer with shorts and no belt. The clip grips really well the opening at the top is large enough to get a good grip. The nurled sections are grippy without being rough. I have a benchmade and a spartan like this and I like the feel of the skallywag best.

The sale was awesome! I had an opportunity to try a few blades I wouldn't have bought otherwise. Even reading the measurements on line, this knife was bigger than I expected. Nice smooth action.

Customer service was awesome. The wrong knife was sent originally and they took care of it and the right one was sent quick. Communication was great and they even talked during the holiday. I am very happy with this company and their products. I will be buying from them again.

My spouse loves it. I bought it as a self protection tool, and she feels safer using this than a regular blade.

I actually sent an email to you about how well designed both knives are but especially the folder. Everyone I've shown the knives to agrees. The folder has become my new edc. Well done skallywag.

Bought for one of my adult kids as a Christmas gift. It was well received. Knife was nice enough that I want one for my own. This was my 5th knife from Skallywag, and probably not my last.

Sorry, can't send a photo but as for the trainer, this is awesome!. I can now deploy this knife right handed, left handed, no handed out of the left pocket or right or of my shirt and never need a bandied! It's great to play with while watching the TV, I can't recommend this more highly to anyone who buys the real deal.

The Guardian is one fearsome blade. One that is hefty in the hand and needs to be handled with care and respect.
Pictures on the internet do not do it justice. The moment you actually see it and put it in your hand you just know. In the hands of a trained user this blade must be terrifying - it is utterly savage.
It’s also really different.
My personal opinion is that any new owner MUST watch the video on you tube or take a course from Mike Don Vito in order to learn how to use it properly...

I own 22 Scalawag knives. I haven’t seen my Grandpa because I’m receiving it as a Christmas gift from my wife. I can tell you this: my other Scalawag knives are beyond any others that I have used in quality and reliability. That is why I own so many.

I bought this as a gift for a family member. I had to open it up and take a peak when it came in though. I really like the look and feel. It feels sturdy, fits the hand nice, and it shipped sharp as hell.

Love the handle on the LUX but really love how well the sheath fits it!! Don't worry love the knife but the fit of the sheath is out of this world!!!

I've been looking for the perfect EDC knife for quite awhile and after trying/buying many, this is the one that gets it done. It has it all, different ways to deploy it and a glass breaker on the back that doesn't poke a hole in your hand if you brush against it. As I got older I found that using a hole or a stud to open the knife got harder so I got into the ones with a flipper and that worked. This knife can be used like that if you don't want to use the wave-like feature. This is one well tho...

Love this knife!!! Could literally shave a mermaid's backside with it. Super sharp, great weight, fits perfect in the pocket. The customer service from this company is top notch. Will be shopping again and telling all my friends.

I bought two rhino sheaths, one for the live blade and one for the trainer. One of them is a little bit smaller and the way it opens is a little different due to manufacturing, but they both still work perfectly! Initially I thought that you can only carry it on a belt, but while it does work best that way, you can carry it in your pocket (if you drag the horn across the fabric of your pocket as you take the blade out, it’ll release the knife and the sheath falls back in) and even hook it on the...

Love the fact that the “weapon” is ready for use as is, you remove the cap to use the pen option.

I bought 4 blemished blades at a great price. All I can say is WOW, just WOW. Y’all must be real picky because I can’t find any blemishes at all. Price + cool knife = win, win for me. Please keep jacking them up so I can by more at a great price. And sharp out of the box.

This is the 5th blade I've ordered from skallywag. Every one has been of the finest quality and build ( even the blem). Customer service is always top tier. Skallywag gets my highest possible recommendation.

I gave a few to my close friends. All are LEOs with previous army service .
They were speechless . The quality of the dagger are top notch and the sheath just links it together in a great way , making it easy to mount on a vest or on a belt .
Couldn’t ask for more! Thank you

These D2 Daggers are the best and most practical self defense/GTFO knives anyone could own. They are easy to wield, easy to deploy, secure to your person, and effective for stopping any threat if the range of combat dictates such. I do recommend training with them consistently in order to become well proficient in their applications, and if you own one (or 6 as in my case lol) I highly suggest buying the training daggers as well. Bravo yet again Skallywag. Your company is premier hands down in d...

I have several Skallywag knives at this point and they are all solid, well made tools. I bought a Mini a while ago and recently purchased a second. They're affordable and it's handy to have a few around the house or the car.

This is my second review on this combat dagger when I received the first one I looked it over I picked it up and I noticed the handle most people when they pick up a dagger the first thing that jumps out at them is the guards but noticing the handle it was well made and had swells in it using this knife in whatever grip your hand will not slip thanks to the designer most people that have weapons and knives and guns they don't understand the design and purpose of the weapons that they're using th...

I bought this knife as a Christmas gift for a buddy of mine. He was overjoyed at the quality of the knife. He especially liked the length of the blade and told me he can't wait to use it the next time he goes fishing.

Great, well balanced, purpose driven fixed blade. Excellent choice of blade steel.
Disappointing sheath, not worthy of the knife! The blade fits so tightly in the sheath, it can only be deployed with one hand holding the sheath while simultaneously using the other hand to pull the knife. If I wanted to have a two handed defense blade, I would have purchased a sword!
Don't know yet whether I should send it back, or take a heat gun to the sheath to try and loosen it up a little.

Top quality. The liner lock configuration threw me for a minute, being opposite of the others I’ve used. It was also very stiff until I oiled and opened and closed it for a bit.

Skallywag makes great blades and this was no exception and this one exceeded my expectations.
It was a difficult decision to go with the spear point or the Tanto design. The build quality feel balance and design made for an excellent blade and so I decided to order the Tanto also and am looking forward to the delivery.

Saw this on youtube and put a pin on getting it right away, after awhile I pulled the trigger and purchased this along with the trainer. I like the overall simplicity of its design and use, the sheath also helps as I can carry this discretely.

Great defensive folder! Well made, no blade wiggle, smooth open from the pocket. Pocket clip is strong with good retention but not so stiff that it takes a crowbar to get it out of your pocket. Well done on this one Skallywag.

I have bounced back and forth between Patrol and Detectives. While in Patrol I love Ordering knives for my Officers for Christmas. I carry a Skallywag D2 dagger with a special sharpening job concealed on my vest carrier or belt for the past several years. I trust your products. Thank you for everything.

The boarding axe is an absolute monster. I finally got to put it to use and chopped up a few cedar trees with it. The cutting edge only took the tiniest glint and still razor sharp after all that abuse. Can't recommend this unit of a tool enough.

The blade was sold as blemished. I found a dark area on the front of the blade but when I wiped it the spot disappeared. On the bottom of the edge, back side there was a rough spot that looked like bad coating. When I checked it, I found the edge was rolled over from when the edge was ground. I hit this with a ceramic rod and the problem was gone. To me the knife was not blemished it was unfinished. With touching up the edge it has worked well and is one of the easiest knives I have to carry. I ...

This knife has a fantastic design in the past I have carried a cough and handled dagger for inch blade in a leather pouch and similar fashion. However, this knife comes out of nowhere and ready for action. I love the design so you can catch it on three fingers, and still shoot in the Kydex sheath is marvelous. I cannot say enough good things about this. I also gave one to my son my young son who is 54 this year and he little man will be 74 this year however you never quit. I love this knife than...
