The Skallywag Mako arrived extremely sharp, right out of the box! Easy opening, and locks up tight! Great ergonomics!! Makes a fantastic EDC.

Just got mine delivered. Lovin' the scales. The cross pattern makes the knife super easy to hold and they're a perfect fit for my hand. The blade has a great working edge although I'll probably run it over my sharpening jig for a final touchup; just a personal preference. Blade shape is very aggressive and should stab through anything. The "blood groove" is an interesting add and should aid in opening the knife but my arthritic thumb will need practice with it. As with any frame lock (much better than any liner lock), it's a little stiff out of the box but past experience says that'll improve with 40-50 cycles of the blade. Not a bad thing at all.
This is an excellent tool and I plan on buying a second one for my deer hunting friend.

Blade arrived in pristine condition, razor sharp out of the box to the point of shaving the hair off my arm. Lock/release mechanism is smooth and fast. Highly recommended.

excellent knife love the design
James R.
I bought one because I love the astetics and ergonomics of the design. It has really good balance, great construction, and operation. After receiving and practicing with it, I had to but another for a buddy of mine. It was his first Skallywag, and
I guarantee it won't be his last!
Thanks!!

Got 2 as Christmas gifts and they loved them. Your knives are very well built and super sharp. I will be getting a mako for myself in the near future. Keep up the good work.
Russell D.
Nice blade super sharp out of the box
James W.
Very nice, yet however it is ambidextrous and forces ne to be right handed.. no worries..
Very well built and handles like a dream..
Buy it, you won’t be sorry..
Jeffrey C.
It’s a Christmas gift for my adult son.
Deacon T.
Another flawless addition to my collection of Scalawag premium knives. I now own nine and have gifted three. I carry one of those beauties every day along with my Ruger LCR. Keep ‘em coming.
George S.
Purchased as a gift for a backpacking friend. He and I have rescently finished the 100 mile wilderness in Maine. This is his “Yes! I fringing did that” gift. I may be getting one for myself.
Pete T.
This knife is just awesome for the money. Oh the knife came razor sharp and the action is super smooth and fidgety. Looks very well constructed. I will definitely be buying more knives in the future from this company.
Asher I.
Beautiful knife with better urganomics than most Benchmade's and the best quality for the price point.
Doyle T.
Quality is amazing for the price. Once it was in my hand, I knew it was worth far more than what I paid. The action is smooth. I love the blade shape. It feels great in my hand.
John C.
Smooth opening
Locks solid
Sharp out of the box .
So far only simple use opening boxes and the like but so far functioning perfectly

This is a great folder for the money! The only knives I know of with this locking system are considerably more expense.

Great quality for the price!

I have quite an avid collection of Skallywag blades and this one, like the others is outstanding.
Awesome components, very well made and sharp.
Some of the best made blades out there.
Huzzahhhhh
Ross K.
Very smooth and sharp fits good in pocket only thing I would change is it does have a nice rounded heel yet I would leave just a little bit of blade at heel unsharpened.
RALPH K.
Excellent build quality and a sure shot replacement for your current EDC. Quick smooth deployment and comfy in hand

I took the bait on the Mako & an Orca, sold as 'hard use' knives. I am terribly hard on knives, a tool I use daily. I keep a polished razor edge on those that maintain one. My clunky old Buck 110 for example,retired when the pocket clipped jobbers came out. (I never liked belt sheaths,and hate a boat anchor in my back pocket.)
I've a drawer full of them, expensive ones but fragile due tiny, intricate parts, and many off shore junk knives that aren't worth a pinch of s**t.
The Mako is a solid,,very light, well made knife with a perfect feel in my hand. I love the locking mechanism, the pocket clip is as beefy as I've ever seen. Its orientation is as it should be,why flip a knife around to open it?
It took little effort to get the factory edge properly sharp. I've used it at work & home on various things a knife isn't recommended for, a few whacks with the polishing rod It's razor sharp again. Now I'll carry my Orca for a few weeks,see how it goes.
An excellent product at a great price.
Thank you.
Mark H.
Freakin awesome knife. Love it. Super sharp knife. Built very well. Definitely a must have knife.
Wilburn Lewis K.

Michael R.
Fantastic knife, just as advertised. Perfect for everyday carry. Completely satisfied.
Sawyer B.
Awesome knife feels solid
Tim C.
Best knife ever, for the price......
Jacob C.
I bought 2 each (1 is none, 2 is 1)
From top to bottom.
Mini
Orca
Mako
All shipped very quickly, razor sharp and nicely oiled.
The mini, although I am not a fan of neck knives this little knife is on my motorcycle currently and can be deployed quickly in a pinch.
The Orca is my work/ utility knife and is holding up nicely!
The Mako is now my EDC and an absolute fantastic knife!
All of these knives are great out of the box and reasonably priced, I am looking forward to my next purchase from Skallywag Tactical!
David R.
This is a beautiful and inexpensive knife. Locking mechanism feels good and I love the cut on the blade. Wish the clip were reversable.
NICK B.
Got a Mako at Blade Show Atlanta. It's a great blade, smooth action, nice handle and looks great
John J.
Great design and comfortable. Will be in my rotation.
Nathan S.
I work as an industrial maintenance technician. I wanted something strong and sharp that I could use daily. So far it works great. I didn’t have a screwdriver and used it yesterday to open a panel door. It held up fine but did get some rolling/denting on the edge.
Terry Mitchell
Great Knife
You can feel the quality in this knife when you handle it. My new favorite EDC. Extremely sharp out of the box. Great price for a great knife!
Scott
Best knife under $ 60.00
Best $ 45.00 knife I have ever purchased, it is razor sharp. I bought one for a gift, I wish I would have ordered a couple more.
