Not a bad knife and it sells at a decent price. It has a great blade on it but I find the Mudskipper to be a little small in my hand, and I don't have large hands. Love to see this knife built a bit larger. I will keep this knife in my collection.

Description
The Mudskipper is a compact powerhouse, designed for those who live by the creed of preparedness. Whether riding in your pocket as an everyday carry essential or backing you up in tactical scenarios, this knife delivers confidence in hand and reliability in action.
The Mudskipper’s blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, hardened to 59–61 HRC. The aggressive, modified tanto profile provides both piercing strength and slicing efficiency, while the matte stonewashed finish keeps glare low and grit hidden. The cutout in the blade not only lightens the profile but also gives quick, intuitive deployment.
With an overall length of 6.5 inches and a closed length of 3.2 inches, the Mudskipper is sized for discreet carry without sacrificing performance. Its Micarta handle scales provide a confident grip in all conditions, enhanced by the textured finish you can feel the moment you pick it up.
The bearing-driven pivot system ensures lightning-smooth blade action, while the liner lock mechanism secures it with authority. A coated aluminum backspacer and pocket clip keep the knife light yet durable, while stainless steel hardware ensures every detail is battle-ready.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 10 reviews.
I have too many knives, but that's not going to stop me from buying more. I saw a new product highllight for the Mudskipper on pewpewtactical.com and ordered right away. Skallywag was easy to work with and the knife arrived quickly. I like it a lot. Opening is as smooth as knives 2-3 times the cost. Factory edge is good, but I almost always sharpen everything as soon as I get it. Locking mechanism is really good and there is almost zero play when open. Fit in the hand is great for me, and the micarta handle gives plenty of grip, dry or wet, without the aggressive texture that will tear up your pockets. I only have two negatives: 1) It isn't assisted opening. Most of the knives I carry daily are assisted flip open, push button, or OTF, so I'm used to a very quick deployment. This knife does flip open well, but every so often, I'll have to give a little extra wrist flick to fully open. 2) The liner lock is a little low in the handle, so it's harder to just run your thumb across to close. Most of the time I have to get my finger nail in there to really release the lock. Otherwise, great knife and I'll keep it in the rotation.
Great knife. Arrived quickly with no issues.
Great blade. It came sharp and fits perfectly in my hand.
My everyday carry
Blade is nice, but I don't like the handle, it's a miss for me.
Compact. Well made. Multi purpose.
Fast shipping and the knife is amazing
Excellent product as always. Small but efficient 🇺🇸👍
This blade is the perfect EDC for me. I’m a 77 year old combat veteran with a clear understanding of tactical knives. I own 10 Scalawag knives and this one is my perfect match. Every product that I have purchased from Scalawag has been outstanding.
