The Sevillana comes into the 21st century. Well done.
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.
Thank you Mr Porter. We appreciate you.
Just received mine today! Extremely excited to train with this knife. The build quality and the packaging it comes in is phenomenal.
Appreciate that and thanks for coming aboard !! let us know if you have any questions.
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 !
I got one about a month ago. I love it. It replaced my KA-BAR TDIs. I wanted something with a slightly longer blade, better ege retention and tougher steel. It feels good in my hand and I feel like I can control it.
Thanks, we appreicate you understanding the knife.
@@Skallywagtactical You're welcome.
Excellent design!
thank you Sir
thank you slicey Mike I love my MDV+1 with the rhino sheath I like the aluminum one also. well thought out it conceals very well it is wicked sharp. You can also use ranger bands to carry it attached to things like women on their pocketbook strap.
I carry this from gym shorts to dress pants. It never lets me down and never feels out of place. Once you wrap the handle to your liking and get comfortable with it you will check to see if it is still there at some times. I love this blade.
We appreicate you understanding the design.
@@Skallywagtactical Thank you for making a great blade that is all around a great carry. I put all my others aside and this is the only one that sits in my pocket or on the belt loop. I have recommended this to many of my friends and family.
@@A_C_. That helps a lot cause we cant advertise in social media so your doing that keeps us alive.. thanks for that
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.
@valiumshatner333 if you find that you can learn on-line then i highly recommend The Elite You.. there is a 20 hour Virtual Training Course for this knife and many other subjects. watch.eliteyou.com/
@@Skallywagtactical good to know, thanks for the reply
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.
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.
thanks Slicey Mike I love my MDV+1 so well thought out from the blade shape to the handle to the rhino sheath. carry's well concealed due to it being flat. girls get ranger bands and attach it to your pocketbook salute pirate
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
@Rodrigolaporte274 Thanks for the great question.. The MDV normally you cant do on a fixed knife sharpening system cause they dont normally go to that great of an angle and you would need a rounded stone.. have a look at this video, its long but detailed about sharpening the MDV ruclips.net/video/rB2Htdh0sos/видео.html
@@Skallywagtactical OHHH how did I miss this video!? awesome, thanks! I'll check that
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.
If you watch some of the other videos you will understand it better and the SME it was designed for. Thanks for your comment
Great design. I dig it. Sweet. Can anyone recommend a kinfe that fills the same role without being massively overpriced?
Sure yea, make one yourself and then let us know how much you would sell it for.. if your a better deal we will take 5000 of them in the next 90 days for a contract.. do you have any idea the costs, equipment needs and staff of running 5000 of anything?
Woke up this morning eyes crusty and half opened reached out and felt around, That’s familiar OH THAT FEELS GOOD AND ITS SO HARD.
Ya it’s my new MDV Plus One that came in yesterday.
Fucked in the head Russ
Been loving mine! Thanks MVD for the MVD+1… honestly I really think it should’ve been named K.I.T.E 😂
🤣🪁
Totally Awesome! I like SCALLYWAG TACTICAL a lot! Great video, info, knife! I have a SCALLYWAG TACTICAL knife made by TOOR knives called the MUTINY, it is a AWESOME EDC fixed blade that is great at everything , and is really good in reverse grip for Defenses. The swedge , and grind is perfect TOOR did a Great job! THANK YOU SCALLYWAG TACTICAL, AND TOOR KNIVES
It was fun doing that collaboration with them. We have some exciting stuff coming down the pipe this year..
@@Skallywagtactical can’t wait to see it I am a big fan ! Complacency Kills Be SAFE, PEACE LOVE HUGS, and fixed blade knives Bro! Good LUCK SCALLYWAG TACTICAL GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU , and your FAMILIES
@@Skallywagtactical SUPER AWESOME! I am a big fan of you, and I can’t wait to see them! Any 7” to 9 “ knives?
200 shipping to Canada. No problem if that is what it costs, though I have ordered 500 pound machines for less.
We never quite get these comments.. we dont set the shipping prices matter of fact we lose money on every shipment.. UPS or who ever the carrier is sets the prices they dont give a crap about what we or you think.. What are you buying that is 200.00 i have never seen a shippment go for 200 unless you are asking for next day air ? Also i would assume when you purchsed a 500lb machine it shipped to you LTL freight totally different animal.. let us know what you are trying to do cause unless you are buying 100 knives and or asking for next day delivery there is no way you charge should be 200.00 ??
What do you think about a 2.0 Version
Double edged with serrations?
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?
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!
We did a video on just this subject.. if you hunt around on The Elite You page you can find a part 2 to this as well if the first one is not enough info.. ruclips.net/video/mHw006LzjRo/видео.html
@@Skallywagtactical thanks for the info and the quick response. I'll check that out.
And thanks for the awesome work y'all been doing over the years.
Could you please make a Video about how to sharpen this knife ?
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.
When are the trainers going to be back in stock??
working on them now... in a few weeks they will be out of coating and back on the site.
@@Skallywagtactical Thank you for the info
What are your thoughts on having a serrated version of this knife?
Serrations are for utility use, this is not a utility blade. It would also exclude many people doing their own sharpening. Serrations are awesome in the right application, this would not be one of those.
@@Skallywagtactical Oh I see, I always thought that serrations were more for combat/self-defense purposes since it could cut through clothing better than a plain edge. It would be more difficult to sharpen though.
@@danman6612 they often feel sharper but a true sharp knife built around doing damage to the human body in the name of self defense is the way to go.. when it comes to cutting rope there is nothing like a serrated knifes.. There are exceptions.. The Guardian is one of the most dangerous knives around for the above purpose and is partly serrated but that one is based on doing internal damage because it will all ready be in deep..
This of course is all our opinion...
@@Skallywagtactical Cool, thanks for the quick responses! I'll be getting an MDV Plus One in future.
So I got mine last week. I’m disappointed in the sheath. The retention is done with 2 rubber band. You can give them a fancy name but they are black rubber bands. If you make the sheath just a tiny bit longer, maybe an 1/8” and bend it to retain the knife I would be happy and more importantly confident that the knife will not fall/drop out of its protective sheath. The knife itself is very malleable done. Sharp out of the box and very ergonomic. It does need a bit of grip tape or something else but good tool. I’m still not crazy about it being flat on one side. I’ve asked some knife guys I know and none see a real world reason for that. Also, D2 steel for the price, not worth it. I got the Damascus version for the price of the D2 so it is sort of worth it. Mainly it’s the best looking knife of this kind and decent steel. Oh, the Damascus version only comes with the sheath, two rubber bands and the knife its self. The box is nice but who takes the box with them and put it in their pocket and shot it off.
Save on the box and get a usable sheath please.
Hello, honestly we have explained this so many times it hurts but we will keep on doing so. you have a friction sheath there.. it was only designed to be carried in the pocket and they are ranger bands different from rubber bands. I guess you bought this knife cause someone told you it was one of the best EDC knives ever developed. Do you expect something to be very good but not different then something you have seen before? Lets break this down.. The sheath is designed as a friction sheath.. so we can control how much pressure it takes to rip the sheath off the knife when you hook it on someone.. assume you have watched some video before you bought this knife then you understand the knife can be deployed with the sheath on as a less then lethal tool. It sounds like you want to take something different and make it like everything else you have and that is fine but then you need a retention sheath so you can carry it on your belt but then you take half the design element out of the knife by fixing it to your self. This by the way is all explained in the description of the knife on the website. it also goes on to say that if you want a retention sheath they are available on the sheath section of the website. This knife was designed for and by Michel Donvito, a life long subject matter expert on teaching special operations how to do damage to the human body with open hands and tools. this knife was designed for him and all his experience. Rather then bash us on RUclips maybe consider asking some questions so you might put yourself in a place where we want to teach rather than replying to your slander and untrue comments.. Also the Chisel grind just so your experts know is a superior design when encountering bone we can tell you how we know that but not in the written word.. I suggest you trust us on that one. Anyway.. go on the website and get yourself a retention sheath.. put the Rhino sheath away until you are ready to learn rather then preach. Thanks for the business but please expect things to be different when they are expressed as one of the best.. Also.. when you need customer service and have issues, its always best to call or email the company and get resolution rather then just bashing the company on a social program.. but thanks anyway for the opportunity to address your statements cause i dont think they were questions for the many who might read this. if you do have real questions rather then statements then let us know we are happy to help you learn from our combined many years of close combat training.
why is this thing $150?
I will never in my life understand these questions. Buy the equipment to make such a thing, hire the people to run said equipment, have insurance on everything and everyone, buy boxes to put them in.. answer 100 solid questions a day, answer 9000 stupid questions a day, along with the other million things a business has to do and pay and then ask yourself why you need to sell it for 150.00. go make one in your garage ready for us to sell with a sheath in a box and let me now how much you would sell it to me for?
Because most $20 flea market and papi store knives break off in the opponent when you poke them ☝️
@@mrblaque215 There will be people these days that think that feature is a good thing.. Ugh !
@@Skallywagtactical lol I’ll admit a “Saturday Night Special” of any variety does have it’s time and place, but not as a permanent fixture on a proper plate carrier 😂 FYI love your products! I am absolutely obsessed with the Daggers and have not only added them to my plate carrier, but I introduced them to my Kali and BJJ sparring partners. And we train with them weekly. Thank you guys 🙏
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?
