Cool video, Blackhawk sure has become weird, what the hell did they ever do to M.O.D.? Why buy a company just to screw it up? They still have some nice knives, just let’s make everything not quite as good, so many of M.O.D. knives were designed by people like Michael Janich, James Keating, Duane Dieter etc. now it just feels like some guys in suits seeing how much money they can make, I have to admit i like a lot of their other stuff besides knives though they really screwed the whole concept of MOD up, maybe this is a step in the right direction hopefully, too bad I’m on a Spyderco kick oh well.
    

Nice knife would buy for sure.

Nice video, if you like to see some Kali clips subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/KaliSikaranInt or have a look at our webpage http://kalisikaran.com

It’s not surprising that a dagger made in Italy would be “efficiant”. For centuries, the Italians looked upon a dagger in the night as a perfectly legitamate way to express your dislike of someone. They’d probably do the same now if they thought they could get away with it, lol.

For a knife like this, there is only ONE demo. A melon, straight in, THUCK!!!

Wow a very well made….unknown….very taboo WAJK!!! lol hahaha nice blade buddy!

Like it !

Interesting. You sold me, though it would be nice (like you inferred) to know who the actual maker is/was. For really no reason other than perception in my mind – Blackhawk has been one company I have never made a purchase from. I didn’t know if it was a hokey/cheesey type of product and (just for me) having a moniker of MOD and then using Aus8….well you know where I’m going with that. Definitely looks like a piece that I wouldn’t mind sharing my pockets with. Well done take as usual. 🙂

Hey guys, sorry this is off topic I know- but i have to tell someone and it is about blades anyway- just not this one. I just got back from the hospital, almost lost my right index finger. Its was literally hanging by a piece the size of a thread. I had just got done sharpening my carving axe after shaping a bow stave- its a custom axe from a local artist, very sharp, 1.5 lb, head on a 16 ” hickory handle. Anyway, I laid it down on my table and didn’t put the sheath on it (first mistake). Then I tripped over my keyboard cable because my wireless keyboard took a shit on me and I’m not used to having a cable stretched across my room like this (second mistake). It pulled the keyboard off the table and at the same time it knocked the axe off, I reached for my keyboard to keep it from slamming into the floor not seeing the axe was also falling (third strike I’m out)- it bit me good.

They saved the finger, but they don’t know how useful it will be in the future. Probably will be unable to bend it from the middle knuckle on up- depends how much scar tissue forms. I work leather for a living guys- I am covered up in orders right now. How in the world am I going to stitch, lace, use my awl, etc., etc.? I also play guitar in a local band, mostly for kicks, but it’s extra cash as well- this sux!

Whats really cool though- the piece of hide and meat it took out was still on the axe head, cut so clean it looked like a scalpel did it. I am soaking it in tanning solution- gonna keep it to remind me what a dumbass I was. 20 years of carving and axe work, 15 years of collecting and playing with knives, working leather with knives that are unbelievably sharp for the last few years as well- and the first cut that requires medical attention takes my finger.  Sorry I’m rambling, this morphine is really kicking in- gotta lay down now- see ya guys, wish me luck. 

Oh, the moral of the story- always keep tanning solution handy, you never know when you might need to pickle a finger. (LOL)  

Hey Bruh, I really appreciate your honest and in-depth reviews. Keep um coming… and by all means, Stay Safe and Sharp!

What is you favorite axis lock knife? And is there and axis lock that is affordable? Thanks

Blackhawk is actually the Sporting Group division of ATK. ATK is based in Minnesota and Blackhawk’s facility is in Norfolk, VA. ATK owns stuff like Primos, Bushnell, Hoppes, Federal Premium, Blazer, Savage Arms, and much more. There is a start, now see if you can figure out who is really building their knives 🙂

It’s not the season but I find pumpkins to give the best feel when used with my katana’s.. Maybe a watermelon would give the same resistance..

Thats a good looking blade I knew nothing of this knife awesome review.

Recommendations on tank like beefy blades??
