Too Much extensive !

The MDV2 folder is beautifully made; it brings to mind a precision crafted purpose built machine. Opening and closing this folder is smooth as silk. The frame lock is so solid you can bet your life on it. I was surprised that the tools needed to disassemble the folder for cleaning were included, this was something I hadn't thought about. Even more important was the kind and thoughtful consideration and advice given by Craig and Mike in answer to my call for advice on which tool to select for my circumstances. I will definitely be a return customer. Thanks so much guys!

my knife just arrived and I am little disappointed: it's quite heavy for EDC, the finish is not perfect (a few scratches on the handle), the locking mecanism is a little counterintuitive and, worst of all, if you try to grab it from your pocket using the hook in back your finger will be on the way of the blade and it won't open
ok, maybe there is a learning curve and I will get used to these quirks some day, but I was expecting a little more for the price I paid.
(I love skallywag by the way, I purchased excellent knives from this brand, but maybe this model still deserves improvements)

As you can see, I have many of your tactical knives . This folder is my favorite EDC. I love how it deploys in many useful ways . I love the shape and the functionality of the blade and it is very sharp. Would recommend this folder to anybody that wanted a really good EDC !

The ergonomics of this knife are perfect for my XL size hands. It seats so well in the hand and held in place by the frame on top and bottom. I really like the dorsal fin when open that allows me to push in or pull back with a firm grip. The ball bearings are still a stiff deploy. Flipping alone only goes halfway, requires a flip and flicking motion to deploy all the way out. It’s gotten a little looser the more I’ve played with it, but still requires that double motion. The frame lock is on the opposite side of most knives. I thought, maybe to make it harder to collapse during use? Either way, a non issue, just changes the muscle memory. Can still open and close one handed, safely. The glass breaker is perfect open or closed. Great grip on the open handle and when closed with the addition of locking in with your thumb wrapped over the top for a firm hit. The texture and edges feels great in the hand. No hot spots, just perfect feel and grip all the way around. This is a great defensive blade shape. I own the MDV, and saw this V2 and knew I had to have it to ba able to carry anywhere, and was not disappointed. They nailed it with the ergos. Only complaint would be a smoother deploy so there’s no fumbling under stress. Quickly becoming my favorite knife to carry.

Best version yet! I've loved the different MDVs and this latest folder has definitely proven the experience and knowledge going into the design.

My favorite knife. I've been carrying it every day for two years. It's very fast, easy, and reliable. It feels good in ice pick and in foregrip. I removed the little glass breaker on the back so I have a nice spot for my thumb in ice pick grip. I love that you can buy an identical trainer.
The one thing that I don't like about it is the clip. The way it's attached makes it so there can be a lot of wear on those two thin pieces over time. I've found after drawing it a lot over a long period of time it does tend to get looser at some point and in order to feel safe with it in my pocket I end up bending it back in place with pliers so it's tight enough again. But after enough times doing that it does eventually snap. I had to get a replacement clip once.
Great knife all around, the clip will wear down eventually and that's the only reason it's not 5 stars :)

I was really excited about this blade and to get it, but for the price I payed for it I would’ve expected something with a higher build quality. One frequent problem the occurs is the the pivot screw comes loose and thus the blade has major play. I shouldn’t have to constantly tighten the screws of a knife that has $250 + price tag. Besides that issue I love the knife.

You Tube videos made by Mike Donovito sold me on this model. I already owned a very similar concealable fixed blade just like the MDV plus One (hand forged in Texas called "the Hornet") But like a folder depending on what i'm wearing. i was using an "auto" folder made by one of famous companies, but found that it still takes me 0.5 second to open it's "Auto AXIS" upon withdrawal. I saw the triangle hook release and it works just as great as demonstrated on YouTube. it is high quality made, and the pivot feels like it has ball bearings (not sure if it does or not). I am very pleased and would recommend to others

I absolutely love the Mdv knives! The Mdv folder is the newest to my collection and I’ve been carrying it everyday since I got it.

First off the clip is installed like clips should be. Somebody put thought into it ..flawless opening without spring edge is exceptionally sharp. The knife is designed to stay in your hand… price point for a edc folder may seem high. But I quickly realized it is so well made that it’s under valued.. I’ve seen custom folders. That were higher and not as good as this.. my only wish is they would supply the correct size Allen wrench to fully disssasemble

Was looking to replace another brand I've had for the last decade with one that's a bit more "people" oriented, but still having a subdued narrative in the way it looks clipped in a pocket. I was getting directed towards fixed blades, but this fits the need while still being clipped in a pocket.

A perfect EDC folder. Small enough to carry easily while being plenty large enough to defend yourself. An excellent companion for its brother blade the MDV +1.
Andy B.
Great knife excellent edge and shape my only problem is that the window breaker fell off upon opening the package ? Hopefully you can send me a new one to screw in?
Ken M.
I have purchased five different blades from Scally wag, have had personal help when I had difficulty opening the DMV2, via phone calls and FaceTime. Scally wag personnel goes out of their way to help in every situation. I highly recommend them, besides the fact, their blades are excellent quality, and reasonably priced, which is rare these days.
I highly recommend their products!

Great knife. Makes a good addition to my daily carry. Lightweight enough to carry all day and easily deployed out of pocket. Fast and smooth opening action is awesome.
The only thing I would change is to have the frame lock on the left side of handle grip seeing as how I am right handed. Other than that, great knife. Perhaps somewhere down the road Scallywag Tactical may offer a larger version.
Erik S.
This folder is part of my EDC. Can’t love it enough. Ready to stake my life on it. Great piece of kit!
Thomas T.
I particularly wanted this knife having trained with their trainer. Was on the waitlist for a while and recently received it. Great knife.
Steve S.
This blade is worth every penny! Check out Skallywag on YouTube for how to open the blade efficiently. The action is smooth and the knife is light. This is the best folder I have ever carried! It is now my everyday carry.

I lost my karambit fell out my pocket after I lost the belt clip. So the mdv folder is my new edc. I can clip it to my belt or my pocket.
Mike S.
Very nicely designed, ergonomically correct very well thought out, outstanding quality,
Functions equally in both standard and reverse grips,
My Emerson’s ZT ‘s Benchmades, and Spyderco’s are now in the drawer,
MDV folder is now my preferred EDC
Thanks for putting in the time and research to provide such a well rounded product.
Prices you are charging for your stuff is completely awesome!
Keep up the good work Skallywag!

I bought MDv folder (live and drone) when I saw the video of GM Bram Frank doing a review. I really like the design, shape of the blade, functionality and quality. It's a blade with an all around functionality in mind. The blade is razor sharp straight from the box. Irs design is brilliant for both cutting and poking. I love the hook on the butt end as it increases hold retention and protects your fingers from being injured when you use the window breaker. The handle fits well in the hand, whether us it in conventional or reverse hold, and you can still grip another object while holding it. I highly recommend it.

If you’re getting this awesome knife, do it justice and get the trainer. Couldn’t be happier

The fast deployability and perfect ergonomics of this well-conceived folder make it a great tool for self-defence. It’s a slim, sleeky slicer with smooth action on both opening mechanisms (flipper and wave feature), a reliable locking mechanism and versatile application options. It’s low weight and slim build enable unintrusive, concealed carrying in different positions, making the knife a perfect back-up weapon if things get dicey. The handle shape provides for a secure and comfortable forward grip in all main angles of attack and the blade shape is perfect for stabbing, slicing, and carving. Even closed, the folder functions very well as an effective impact weapon and can be used for all standard hammer and gunting techniques. While generally a useful feature, the glass breaker prevents a comfortable grip if the knife is held in reverse position (edge out). But since it is screwed, this problem can be resolved with a pair of pliers. Without the glass breaker the knife handles well in reverse position and feels comfortable, both with edge in and out. Numerous little details provide evidence of a thoughtful design, such as a small swell where the hook is connected to the end of the handle, which provides for a secure grip when the folder is quickly drawn out of a pants pocket. The flipper ensures that the knife stays closed until the wave feature catches the rim of the pocket. Great product!

Bought the fixed blade MDV+1 and fell in love. Bought the folder to make it easier to carry and all I can say is WOW. This has become my go to EDC pocket knife. Also picked up the folder trainer to make it feel more natural when deploying and using it. Amazing blade!!
Bradley R.
Hands down the best fighting folder I’ve come across. From the big things to the little things, this knife checks the boxes and then some. The thought process that went into the design is second to none.
Earnest H.
Awesome knife! Really smooth opening and razor sharp. Absolutely love it.
Scott d.
I love it. Cool design, good weight and shape. Has a smooth opening, though I recommend you practice with it slowly at first.
