The Gunners Mate mounts accessibly behind the seat on my ICE mountain tricycle. Great for clearing trail blackberries and coon cats ! It will do nicely, until The Bounty becomes available….

Kevin L.

I'm telling all my friends about this one. Very happy with my D2. When I showed them, it got a *visceral* response. What the f#@k is that? A DAGGER? They were wigging out. "It looks like damascus steel!" As a man, our super-power is to defend ourselves and our family with skill, and preparation. Don't be caught with your pants down.. Be caught with your pants donning a D2 dagger! ☠️

A must have for your MDV+1 I used the original wrap method by MDV however I have smaller hands and found that through training and general manipulation of the MDV +1 I found I needed a different type of wrapping so I opted for the traditional Asian style, wrapping, and so far it works best for me.

I took a shot and got the blemish blade (MDV+1) because it was the only one available at the time and still is as of me making this review 7/14/23 they need to restock! Anyways I was so impressed with their “blemished” blade that I contacted support to ask what was blemished about it and their answer shocked me. they said it was a finish issue light scratches or faded color that’s crazy well I still can’t find the “original issue” as you can see in photo all of the scratches are from me lol!

This is an amazing tactical blade! Fastidiously designed and meticulously crafted for just one use. Watching what MDV does to those roasts with one of these beauties is awe inspiring and a wee bit frightening. I love this knife!

The image of a uniquely designed knife on a comfortable, well fitting t-shirt with a saying that I had actually never heard before THE KNIFE YOU TAKE TO A GUNFIGHT. Love it !!!

Have an aluminum, and a+1 in steel. Both from the blem pile. No blems to be found. Fine functional blades. Carry the aluminum in a rino,in my pocket. The MDV+1 steel rides horizontal up front on my belt,thanks to a bit of paracord,and pirate rope tying knowhow. All day everyday Carry in comfort.

Hello, not sure if I'm allowed to post this given it is not the MDv plus one but a good buddy of mine has one and I absolutely love it and the design. It made me rethink the belt and appendix carry and I've tried to come up with a way to implement this genius design in my cheap edc lol. I hope to be able to purchase one for myself soon and my buddy loves his. Anyway I appreciate the inspiration endlessly and wish you the best. Hope to be a customer soon, awesome products.

Kevin R.

The folding karambit is big and thick! I know that! When I receive the knife, I found it was bigger than I thought! It feels heavy in my hand, which is exactly what I wanted. More satisfied than expected! Thanks Skallywag!

Christian R.

The Key Dagger is actually a really nice little backup blade. It's not going to be a primary EDC, but it's a perfect fit in your dope pocket as a backup or in your gym shorts / when you go running. I added a little bit of grip tape for the handle to give me even more of tight fist when I hold it. Perfectly lightweight, this little backup knife kicks ass.

Richard A.

I bought both knives at separate times… which goes to show that after the first one… I was pleased enough to buy a second one(which was the OD)…Love them both! Carry them as my edc on my small goto bag… will be buying again… maybe the bigger, serrated version…

Shipped very fast, a nice light purpose built tool got one for my girlfriend also, the Sheath has good retention and the clip is very versatile we’ve been storing it in interesting places

The Damascus pattern is subtle but beautiful. The grinds are clean, straight as can be, and symmetrical. The D2 is well balanced, comfortable in the hand, and I have no doubt that it will get the job done. Another fine, quality product from Skallywag Tactical

Philip M.

I received this awesome knife about two weeks ago. I've carried it every working day since then. To be honest, I've forgotten about it on my body until the end of day when changing out of uniform. It came sharp and pointy, light weight and just awesome in general. As you can see, I cord wrapped the handle with 550 with a half knot weave. It adds just enough grip and width to the handle and is pleasant in the hand. A+ product!

James H.

I bought one for my daughter and a second for myself. I am training my daughter in some basic self defense, and this tool is quite effective with proper technique. I did try to purchase the practice/training version of this knife, but it has been showing unavailable.

undefined review of Kitchen Slicer image 1 out of 1

Kelvin R.

I ordered two of these slicers on sale (one for my wife and one as a potential gift) and my wife and I were extremely impressed by the design, feel, beauty and ultra-sharpness right out of the box. The size and elegant fit in the hand of the "slicer" makes it perfect for any use in the kitchen. In fact, we decided to get four more and make an extra special set of steak knives. We put them to use yesterday on this 3-pound tomahawk ribeye. We can't wait to have guest for a steak dinner and...

Amazing knife the MVD plus one is. Feels awesome in my hand. I love the fact that there is a trainer for the knife. Great product and a great price point!

Absolutely a beautiful dagger , love all my Skallywag knives the best made knives you'll find, the service with Skallywag is top notch you won't find a better company out there

D2 Dagger - Damascus

Kenneth B.

This is how I choose to carry and what works best for me. The sheath locks the knife in snug, so I don’t have to worry about it slipping out. The holes in the sheath are convenient for many different carry scenarios. The knife is solid, sharp, and functional for self defense use. As recommended by Mike Donvito, grip tape adds to the performance of the blade and gives a more solid grip in the hand. Since purchasing the MDV Plus One, it is all I’ve been carrying. I retired my tactical folder and ...

This is a well thought-out, concealable, easy to use excellent quality knife. It adds additional abilities to my existing skills. Highly recommend for professional and non-professional like me.

Adam D.

This knife has been exactly what I have been looking for in a concealed self defense knife! Perfect size, perfect fit in hand (and I have big mitts), and superb quality! Absolutely love it! Definitely recommend having both sheaths. When it's in the rhino sheath in my belt loop it vanishes behind my belt, and I can't feel it at all. With the standard sheath it's perfect when I'm just wearing gym shorts and clips comfortably on! Do yourself a favor and just buy it

MDV Plus One

Kris A.

Love this blade. Since buying it, it has become my go-to EDC. The rhino sheath has a brilliant design, allowing for a reliable way of carrying--and drawing--the blade. Great knife; every part of it is thoughtfully designed.

MDV Plus One

Zachary H.

Great quality knife and really good to carry. Have been carrying it with the retention sheath for about a week, it is comfortable and secure, attaching the clip to my belts or pants can sometimes be a little annoying but just takes an extra second or two to get attached. I’ve been using the Rhino Sheath for just a few days but it is my favorite by far. Carrying with it is very comfortable and can carry it in a lot of different positions with great ease of drawing. Super fast to hook into a belt ...

Fabian

Excellent knife! Unfotunately i bought it when it still had the flat sheath, but you guys can buy it directly with the better rhino sheath. Bought a blem mdv, cause shipping to germany costs ~30$. Had some trouble with the border and had to pay some more money, so i was around the original price. Couldnt find any big scratches when it arrived. This might be the best edc knife for self defense out there, at least i couldnt find a better one, and i searched a lot. Its reliable, slim and overall a ...

This is probably my 10th skallywag family member I have adopted. And boy it didn’t disappoint at all!!! It is one hell of a blade and super thick spine. My favorite folder by far and above any other I own. Extremely sharp out of box , couple of passes down the strip and it is AMAZINGLY SHARP!!!! Very happy with all my purchases thus far this Folding Razor is a beast!!!! Thank You for the quality, I know I can depend on if I ever truly need it it is there for me…..

Robert B.

It's a true joy to bring out my knives and use them at work. I bring the Chef's Knife and the Santoku and use them throughout the day. Comfortable, ergonomical, well-balanced, good steel, sharp out of the box, easily maintained edge, and, not to mention, eye-catchingly beautiful. Everyone at work lives the look and feel of these blades. A great tool just makes every workday better.

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

James T.

I was a little hesitant about ordering a $400 knife that's been put on clearance for a quarter of the price simply due to quality control issues. Much to my surprise the knife I received only had one MINOR problem, a loose glass breaker. A drop of blue Loctite and a day later its good as new. The only other issue (not really an issue) is there are absolutely no identifying markings on the knife, no country of origin, no steel type, and no manufacturer, just totally blank. This knife is easily...

Adam D.

Ahoy! Started off by buying the mdv and absolutely love it. Its concealabity and lightweight makes it a perfect self-defense knife. Pairing it with the 2 sheaths (standard kydex, and rhino) makes it perfect to carry regardless of what I am wearing Since then, my collection keeps growing and will continue to do so! This company has now become my go-to for knife purchases. As for this review the Balck Water is freaking sweet! Its a beast of a blade, wicked sharp, and the action is smooth as butte...

Bought this knife to replace my edc knife. It is a beautifully classic and simple knife. It doesn't scream tactical and the blade is perfect. I use this as my daily knife over a spyderco Enduro I've have for several years. The price point was spot on and plan on getting some for my sons soon.

Always the best products and even have my husband on these products. I hike, walk, run a lot and these are perfect on my hip and around my kneck and you can't tell I have them and everytime I work with them, the sheaths never disappoint on holding and staying in place. Thank you for everything you guys do and helping make durable products for the ones that are more hands on with knives then guns. Will keep spreading the word of your company and buying of course🤓

I can't carry a gun at my new job, so this is the next best thing. The blade is really sharp. You can feel the quality of how it is made in your hand. This is a great blade for 22 bucks. I highly recommend it.

It has exactly the right size of a handle. The knife had a great edge then I gave it a polished razor sharp edge and it cuts like a dream. Great product I’ll for sure get more knives from Skallywag. Thank you for your service.

This craftsmanship and design is an incredible example of artistry mixed with functionality. The wait was definitely worth it and it is a company that i would recommend to anyone looking for protective tools and more importantly, train with them. I highly highly recommend everyone to experience the Skallywag life!

As a 41 year old (almost 42), I finally feel like I have adult kitchen knives. For real though absolutely the best kitchen knife I’ve ever used (and that’s even comparing it to knives 2-3x the price. Thanks Skallywag for such a fine blade.

Brince W.

I this has become my goto when going out into the woods. It has replaced and retired my kukiri machete. This blade is the perfect tool to goto whether your lopping through vines, branches or the skulls of your enemies. You can use it to split watermelons with so little force needed you’ll think the melon was a ghost. Someone reaching for your slice? No worries, it’ll take that hand off at the wrist with must as much ease. If you’re even thinking about getting this blade, stop thinking, put your ...
