100%. There's a fine line between not enough Zircuti and too much. The single colour backspacer was the right move. As you indicate it ties in the single colour of all the screws perfectly. Have a great day.
Looks like you're ready for a camping trip. That blade looks like it'd do well batoning some kindling and I bet it's equally as good with a ferro rod. 😜
Love my Drifter, it's the best tool I've got for ripping out old plaster when I'm renovating sheds. Thank goodness someone on reddit lectured me about using my knives. It really is my favorite knife in my collection. The finishing is just incredible.
This is such a beauty. Everything about this knife is perfection imo. I’m not even a flipper guy and I STILL want one so badly. I’m curious what the price tag on this was now.
Damn MC yet again you pulled a peach out of the box. I can totally understand why you went for it even if it hit that ever so shrinking wallet but sometimes especially if it’s one that’s been bouncing around the old cranium for so long well hell it’s great to open a ear and let it out lol as always have a beautiful day and stay safe and healthy MC🫵🏻😘👍🏼
So damacore is super expensive just to buy... But wait, there's more! If it's like other San Mai/jacketed blade steels, wait for it..... The core isn't necessarily (or even likely) centered. What does that mean? They take a Center ingot of steel and the two jacket sides of dama, and Forge weld them together, heating and smashing them. Sadly one side of the jacket always compresses a bit more than the other, so you get a core that's slightly off center in the finished damacore ingot. Luckily the finished ingot is thicker than necessarily. So as it is ground into a blade, the layers are observed (tedious) and adjusted by grinding more off one side, till the core is centered. Picture the uncentered core, with the damasteel waves higher up on one side than the other. .. on your multi thousand dollar knife 😂
do you know a spot where i can buy extra zerkuti kit and put into my existing knifes? and make it look ever better ? or do I have to goto original company who made that knife and ask if they have that kind of stuff for it
Since i seen a sneak peak on a live or short i been waiting to see this unboxing. Been one of my more wanted knives. Wouldn't say grail because my grails are real rare like the triple 7 with the composite blade but this is definitely wanted.
Great looking knife. "Hate to scratch it while cutting anything" It's now not a knife for me with that mindset. Look great and anything is for anyone. Cheers
Any help for a stripped t6? First time trying to do scales and third screw stripped. Makes me not even want to mess with it anymore. Can you drill the screw out?
You can try pressing the head of your bit into (not through) a rubber band and pushing it into the head of the fastener to fill out the stripped areas. Sometimes there's enough traction to turn it.
While extremely beautiful I was sitting on the fence whether or not I was excited until you mentioned Damacore steel. Absolutely amazing steel. Layered RWL34 & PMC27 offers great patterning and contrasting. In note that you appear to have the Odins Eye pattern. These steels aren't show ponies and offer excellent performance should you choose to use the blade. The camera doesn't do the steel justice. Sharp blades all.
Wow, I find those pivot collars absolutely repulsive. It reminds me of the massive pivots in the Curtiss F series knives, which I also hate. It is really too bad because the rest of the knife is quite nice, I love the texturing on the scales. Oh well, to each their own I guess!
It's beutiful, but knife I found my whic is daily use and its irreplaceable Benchmade 940 Grean clasic and I haw it 3,4 ares all other knifes are yust dust collectors I don't hawe many but feu good peaces but life is easier when you EDC is perfect and not replaceable (from hand made leather walet, to good fany pack for carying ,to pocket knife, multi tool, and Sony linkbuds S , watch-es:))) I found and made it all in cuple of ares but it worth it its my perfect EDC. And from 6 models of wolets in 2 ares to feu knifes ,from Microtech to Civivi but now I'm good for long time.

Good god that thing is gorgeous. I appreciate the backspacer not being zircuti because it matches the pivot screw perfect execution in my opinion.
Exactly my thoughts too. Really ties it all together.

I have to say. I appreciate the good video quality when it comes to knives like this. Well done MC
Yeah, it really shows the details and contours off well.
Love seeing your enthusiasm for this and really like how the back spacer matches the screws.
Thanks for sharing your first glimpse with us.
My buddy has 2 Skiff customs. Incredible workmanship! Most perfect construction I've ever seen.
Two!! 🤯🤯🤯
@@realbroggo - yuup.

It really is my favorite knife in my collection. The finishing is just incredible.
I think the pivot and pocket clip make it perfect
And that back spacer is the perfect accompaniment.
I can't put my finger on it exactly but that's without a doubt the most beautiful knife I've ever seen!
From the textured ti to the colors and that blade/blade shape, a hell of a knife for your collection! Definitely a tad jealous 😂
I’d bet thr pivot screws look are Steve Kelly custom pivots. Many custom makers use his iconic pivots on many models. Very cool.
Pretty sick knife. I thought it was an Accomplice for a minute until you said it was a drifter. That is a very cool blade though!
This is such a beauty. Everything about this knife is perfection imo. I’m not even a flipper guy and I STILL want one so badly. I’m curious what the price tag on this was now.
It'd make our eyes water I'm sure.
Looks like a tactical zt went to college and became a refined prestigious businessman. Truly incredible piece.
😂lol, great way of putting it.
Renaissance wax will help keep the blade more free of finger prints.
I don't have words for how Stunning that knife is... 😍 WoW!!!!!

I’m waiting on a couple knives to arrive as well, such as the knife from the immuno deficiency winning, and a Zac in the Wild OTF from Axial
congratulations brother
That is a beautiful piece of art
Thank you for the share/video/content.
I have the black zirc version and its stellar. Watch Nicks review of it. The amount of detail in this knife is like no other.
Well done Skiff !
Hi Complex. You knocked it out of the park with the Skiff. I really like the subtle contour’s in the scales. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
Congratulations on your new baby

I’ve always been weird about PVK. they have had a store listed in vegas, in one way or another for a while, that doesn’t exist
That blade! Perfection ❤
Beautiful shape, even without factoring in the stunning materials.
Ooooooo u flipped that open me expecting like a drop point and bang wharney/sheepfootie with that sanmai damascus look. Nice buy man
do you know a spot where i can buy extra zerkuti kit and put into my existing knifes? and make it look ever better ? or do I have to goto original company who made that knife and ask if they have that kind of stuff for it

This knife is amazing! Would love to get one sometime in the future
That’s gorgeous! What a knife!
Way outside of my bag, but wow that is stunning! Blade shape is incredible too. You chose well!
That blade shape is beautiful. Really suits the materials.
Great looking knife. "Hate to scratch it while cutting anything" It's now not a knife for me with that mindset. Look great and anything is for anyone. Cheers
It’s nice MC. Congrats on the new pickup
Absolutely stunning!!!
Forgot to post the PVK Vegas link, unless I'm missing it somewhere
Thanks for sharing bud! That is gorgeous! 🤤
WOW... 😁 That's one beautiful knife...
Dang, that’s stunning! Congrats man!
I felt that title 😂 I just ordered another PM3 and a purple TR3

I tried. Even nitrile gloves. Trying to look up how to drill it out now I need a diamond bit. It's my 940 too lol curse these t6
@@terryboylstein472 ouch. Well good luck man
When the gloves come out you know it’s going to be good!
Awesome! What's the core steel in the damacore? Is it the same composition as their damasteel?
Vanax
@metal_complex dang, that's sick. Sweet knife, always dig te content on this really high end stuff🤘

It's a safe queen. Won't get used. Also this has a Vanax core. The other Damacore variant.
@@metal_complex 🤯 Vanax core - even better!!

'can't really afford it but bought it anyway' damn that's the story of my life and the reason I'll always be poor 😩😂
Happy birthday, MC! 😂
It’s nice. Congratulations
Congratulations, sweet knife 👍
Commenting to help you afford it 🙌🏽
Notice how drifter has the shape of a lambo.
I want one of these so badly
You sounded like my diesel starting on a cold day when that thing came out of the package 😅😂❤
I'm looking forward to seeing this in the giveaway.
God this thing makes my heart skip a beat❤
Sweet knife!
Another beautiful blade
Now that is dope
But why do you need it when Buck Knives exist?
Balance of power
Beautiful!!!

6.5/10 logo slap...and man, Skiff does not fuck around...
I morfed into a tripod watching this one.
I'd put that in my pocket, for sure.
Why do white gloves make my skin crawl?
What a beauty....
Snazzy but way out of my reach. Enjoy it!
I was hoping he'd say the actual price at the end. I mean the title hints at the outrageousness of it
$2750
@@metal_complexHoly moly 🤯
@@metal_complex well. 💀
Some people buy paintings , other people buy knifes. Just don't make any debts for stuff like this :)
Those tactical peanuts are edible.
You need to sell a fair bit of your collection and acquire more Rockstead knives.
Na. I'm good with one Rockstead. Great knife, don't need more
@@metal_complexfine then, I won’t send you one for Christmas this year.
Appease the knife algorithm gods comment here.
From this day forward, you shall be known as "Your Thumb-ness"
I love the textured Ti but the pivot washer just reminds me of a nipple that is too big for the boob. Personal preference though
You sounded like a broken record for a minute there when you first opened it.
Ya I bluescreened hard
Holy Shit!!!!
Wow....me want
Nah, that's tacky. Enjoy!
Uneffingreal!!!
Pass. The collar and the clip are hot fire but , anyway you do you boy. Your not married or have children correct?
Married, 2 kids, own both my vehicles and my house. Don't worry about me 😎

Damn! 😍😍😍
Just go without food for a while, problem solved. Your welcome.
