After watching Mike's guest spot over on hard2hurt's channel, this may genuinely be one of the scariest (and well-engineered) knives I've ever seen, LOL.

Its an interesting knife designed for a guy that has spent his life teaching good guys how to deal with bad guys.. we are pleased you understand the design !

Mr. Donvito, you strike me as a very focused and highly trained individual. Your design of this weapon is I must say phenomenal and impressive. I can only imagine the adventures you must have gone through that lead you to have such specialized knowledge. This looks like a great Blade, and this was a great video.

Appreciate that and thanks for coming aboard !! let us know if you have any questions.

This is a really great design, I’ve trained BJJ for a long time and this is seems like an excellent compliment to that skillset. Unfortunately while I’ve had firearms training, I’ve never had any formal knife training. With so many bullshido gyms around I don’t want to take a class with just anyone.

I'm thinking about buying this knife. I already have the benchmade SOCP 178SBK for my non dominant side just in case someone tries to get to my firearm. I don't know if it sounds ridiculous to have the MDV plus on my dominant side where my gun is but I always believe more options with the right training is better.

@sliceymike

13 күн бұрын

Doesn’t sound ridiculous. My thoughts on carrying a blade strong side while having a CC pistol would revolve around your clothing at the time. I like carrying an MDV fixed blade in my strong side pocket if I’m CC my pistol. But that usually depends on if the pockets work well for that. Sometimes the angle of the pocket makes it less than ideal. In those situations, I carry the MDV folder. Having a knife on your strong side is a good idea to consider because it offers you another strong side solution. Just because you have a pistol on you doesn’t mean that’s the best solution for the problem at hand. If your knife is on your weak side, you can use that for close range situations that are better suited for a blade or unarmed. But that means you are using your inferior side as a primary tool. Some people may lack the training and or confidence to do that. Long response to say it’s not a silly idea. As with anything I would advise you carry what you are proficient using and what you feel makes you safer. You’ll assess and adapt that system as time goes on. If it isn’t a good fit for you, you’ll adjust it accordingly. I hope this offers some value in response to your comments.

Its cool, but if its main purpose is stabbing, 3" means you better be able to pinpoint shallow targets. Losing a finger if hit ribs with that skinny grip, and if happen to get between ribs, again, only getting 2" beyond rib cage. Id think of it more as a tendon/ligament attacker.

I just got mine. LOVE IT. Every single detail very well thought. Now I need to put the aluminum version into my practice, to get more familiarized with the system. One question, for future maintenance, do you know what angle the MDV+1 is sharpened to? since it's flat on one side, I guess it's 2x the angle used on a regular blade? I completely suck at free hand sharpening so I use one of those tools where you can set the angle and go from there

@user-wd4ge2zh2c

Like any other chisel. You sharpen the edge bevel like you would any other knife. The side with no edge bevel you lay flat on the stone.

Just bought one. I am curious, why the chisel blade design. It’s a cool blade, and I love small fixed blades. Is the chisel blade designed to reflect its primarily fighting nature?

@Skallywagtactical

2 ай бұрын

Ssgt, we discuss this in several of our videos both on the Skallywag page and The Elite You page but it was found many years ago that a chisel grind will cut deeper into bone.. so that is the reason.. The reason for the chisel grind is so the blade can do as much damage as possible when needed.

Hi y'all Loving the knife for almost year and a half now. How would you recommend me to sharpen it? I've only got an oil stone I use for sharpening butchering knives, but I don't know my way around chisel blades, specially one with coating and the double curve the MDV has. Thanks and God bless!

I did begin making my own knives simply because I couldn't afford the $300 - 500-ish price tag that many defensive knives go for. The best I can do: use cad software to design the knife blank (do you have that?) Waterjet cut blanks in something like D2 steel; about $30 after shipping. Then you need to grind the bevels/final shape with a belt sander - if you have one. That step has a learning curve - you might be awesome or you might suck at it. How many hours does that take? Hard to say. Once you're satisfied, you have to get it heat treated. I send mine out to a professional heat treater. With shipping both ways, that costs me about $55 dollars round trip. At that point, you have to either grit blast (have a grit blast cabinet available?) or sand/polish it (lots of time). If you want a rust resistant black coating, you would probably have to send it out (more money). I use ferric chloride on mine, which isn't the best of coatings but is cheap and I can do it easily. Then you have to apply the final edge. Don't rush here, you can easily overheat the tip and ruin your heat treat. Then you need a sheath that doesn't suck. That takes practice, but you'll need kydex sheets, kydex forming foam or a vacuum mold, a way to heat the kydex, an eyelet press, and a suitable clip. We haven't made it to a box or packaging, but I can say that Skallywag is definitely not gouging you; and that I cannot beat their pricing with my own efforts. If you wait for even 2 minutes, you can grab one of the many sales Skallywag runs and get it for $125 or less. Added bonus: trainers are stupendously cheap. I think Dynamis sell their trainiers for $75; right now you can get the mdv trainer for $35. Replacement sheaths are also stupid cheap. The real question is, how does Skallywag keep prices this low?
