WOW!! THIS is why I love knives!! Just when you start to think youve seen it all, BLAM!! you see something like this! Thank you for Sharing and thank you to the entire community for Showing me and teaching me something that I truly Love!! This thing is SICKKKK!!!!
I have watched this one single video 2 dozen times . My all time favorite knife . Ohhh what I would do for this piece of steel , titanium beautiful craftsmanship. I’ve watched almost all of your videos but for some damn reason I always start my knife watching bindge with the one piece
the stars were lined up perfectly. that is precisely the knife I want for my first custom. exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the heads up Jim.
Thank you thank you thank you . I’ve seen almost all of your vids and at the moment I’m out in California fighting a wild fire and some days have quite a few hours of staging time (waiting around) for orders or a mission to go on . And by luck I have cell service. And have been binge watching all your video for the second time . Every time I come across this knife I fall in love even over some more beautifully made knives . I just can’t get enough of this knife . Thank you so much . Maybe one day I will have the pleasure of getting one . Maybe
Thank you for your review. I contacted Pete about a build, after watching and listening to your thoughts. I've been researching overbuilt knives, all weekend. I was going to buy a Greyman Satu; but they were sold out. That led me to the MKT Praetorian; but they, too, were sold out, in the style I wanted. Sometimes, things happen for a reason. Now, I'm one email away from purchasing a Rogue Shark. Keep up the good work!
btw jim the price of the first run thru the books was only 650 total. luckily enough i was stalking skikes ig page everyday waiting for my opportunity to snag one of these at my earliest opportunity. the videos that theyve been posting on ig lately have shown an action that was impressive to me at the size of the knife. i wouldnt have known about this maker without you and your channel (yet again) and i wanted you to know that i appreciate it and everything you do for the knife community. cheers.
Jim I remember the older days of your Chanel when you would do the cutting paper test on that spyderco tuff designed by edd schemp. Loved it man the knife is badass.
One of the most gorgious anodisation jobs i have ever seen. Very nice. One thing, i personally would have seen the polished edge on the presentation side i think.
Before I seen this video, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a "High End Knife Market." Glad TH-cam threw it in my list; this is some seriously cool stuff. I gotta say, I've never seen a knife that said "Don't F with this person" before, either. LoL. That knife means business. Time to go look at the price... Nice review, too. Pretty damn informative.
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Gunner Princeton thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Sorry Jim, I beg to differ. My Rogue Shark is ridiculously sharp. Despite its thick spine, I can do some fine cutting tasks due to it unique grind. I can cut ribbons of paper, fine food prep, and of course I can cut through harder materials like wood. And it can still keep going, thanks to its 3v steel. This is probably the sharpest knife I have. Sharper than my Microtech DOC, Ferko Mako, and Reate Horizon CF. Love your knife btw.
+Jim Skelton Fortunately, I haven't really had trouble but I understand where you're coming from. But I really must thank you, had it not been for your Instagram post about Skike after Blade 2015. I wouldn't have found this overbuilt masterpiece. BTW completely different knife, but do you recommend the Stealth Praetorian from Blades We Love., I watched your video, I'm still debating whether to buy it or not.
I look at that knife and I just think "wow, that is amazing" I do see it as a tool... Where I live there's no need to be violent, but self defence is also nice :) But I really do like that knife... I don't know what it but there's just something about it...
The reason I like my Solo v5 is its "overbuilt" but its still a great cutter because of how lean its ground. I have the wharnie version and its mostly 0.012 thick behind the edge, about half as thin as most spydercos are and those are considered great cutters and while they are, Direware cuts much better. It does thicken at the tip to about 0.020 which is good since you want a lil more thickness at the tip but most of the edge is nice and thin and very sharp too(no easy task with s110v), its the only knife I ever got that I didn't feel like I needed to touch up the edge to make it sharper. It had good push cutting and slicing ability to it as well which is something I don't see in a lot of knives, you seem to get one or the other but rarely both. im very satisfied with what Direware was able to achieve in the version 5 of his solo, you get a "overbuilt" knife(id argue that a framelock is the weak point of the overbuilt craze and you'd want to use a stronger lock but thats a different topic) with great action and fit and finish snd it still performs great as a knife instead of a sharpened prybar lime some others seem to be.
completely unrelated to this knife but i just watched your Grimsmo Norseman review. i agree with your point you made about the blade shape but the brothers are working on a new prototype with a "regular" blade called THE RASK. I can not wait to get my hands on one. just a heads up
+Jim Skelton How was the Rask? I have mine ordered and it seems like a good sized EDC. If the action is anything like the Norseman, I'm thinking it'll be a great knife.
you talk about overbuilt, but you never talk about Demko...and you should. Though, this is prettier and incredibly innovative - really nice custom work on this.
It's the only lockback I've ever wanted as I'm not a fan of them myself. I had Andrew put bearings in mine. I only bring it up because you have some great knives and some very over built ones, but one that many say is the strongest of the strong - Demko AD10 - that one isn't your roster. I will say, the AD10 is a pure utility design - pretty plain - but...you also can hang 900 lbs off the end of it if you so chose...
Let coldsteel compare this “overbuilt” knife to the 4Max!! In the testin they do this knife would fail, it is a really badass knife, very thick, but Coldsteel’s Triad lock is beast!! This custom knife only has a frame lock.... Great video though
I have one and carry it all the time. Medford’s got nothing on it. My third favorite overbuilt knife, after the Direware and Toxic Field Cleaver. Although there are pants that just won’t hold the damn thing up it’s so heavy. I also have a Weiland Fatty Slash that I carry... now that is dumb as hell, but boy is it fun to have that bulge in my pocket :)
Hey Jim, I would love to see a video of well priced custom knives, as a teenager interested in knives, I'm making money but not enough to spend 1000 on a custom and where I draw the line is around 500. Would be awesome to see something like that! Thanks
Check out his review on the Steve Skiff Cohort...a "gorgeous refined Sebenza" is right at that $500 mark...I've already reached out for info on one myself
+Real Outdoors Most custom knife makers do not go below the $500 mark, then with the cost of the machines and such their labor rate would be abysmal. And being a teenager is no excuse I bought my first $1000+ knife when I was 19 going to college full time and being a manager at a local restaurant there is no excuse!
+Dean Crail yes but you were 19 with a real job, I make at most 80$ a week, and I'm only 14. there is no need for negativity dude. if I could have a real part time job I would do it, but child labor laws prevent it.
Sorry, but I gotta laugh at these custom knives with "impact points" talking about "punching through skulls" haha. Like anyone is going to hard use a fuckin 900 dollar folder.
I beat the hell out of $500 knives...chopping branches off trees, splitting wood, cut up metal cans, etc. I'd love to have this knife and destroy cars with it lol
Andrew Rodriguez I'm sure he has. This was a review on the current iteration. I suspect the next will have likewise symmetry, heck maybe even spare ball bearings on the floating pivot.
I quit carrying some of my knives that were expensive as a EDC. Main reason on this is due to prior incidents that occured where several of my expensive knives (one had customized silver knuckles on the handle of the fixed blade) got confiscated by the officers who were called to the scene. Not only did those knives get confiscated, it came with hefty fine for carrying such knives along with other repercussions that followed suit due to the incident).
this is the knife that is responsible or gateway knife-i was trying to look up info for it and i discovered medford knives way back in early 2012 and i ordered one and the illness deeply ingrained.lol
bbullock41617 To my knowledge, glass breakers are heavy on a knife, so if the blade is light and the handle is heavy the glass breaker will be impractical, however if it is blade heavy and the handle is light it will most likely to have a glass breaker... Also, if you're looking at tactical knives, all of them will have serrated, seatbelt cutter and a glass breaker on them. Some of these custom knives aren't designed to be like that :) Hoped this helped
I love my Rogue Shark. Mine has rounded off bottom sides on the handle scales. It's really comfortable. Mine is on Bronze washers as well. I don't think the flipping problem has to do with the size of the blade, but the location of the flipper tab in relation with the pivot. If the flipper tab was more forward of the pivot there would be enough action to get that blade flipping fully open. And mine push cuts paper all day long. It cuts so nice for being such a thick blade.
Cool looking knife,I love the design looks and materials some of these custom knife makers come up with. But frame locks all need a cut out on the lock bar to relieve pressure and that cut out is the weak link of the whole lock system. Under hard use,the lock bar being only on one side makes it either a left or right hand dedicated knife and that specific side takes up all the forces and is not optimumly distributed. I love a lot of these custom knives but couldn't buy them due to most being a frame lock. Sure these things will most likely stand up to any day to day tasks but when a situation calls for a tougher job it's good to know your expensive folder can withstand the abuse. I guess I'm an Andrew Demko and tri-ad fan boi but it's for a good reason. AD10 best custom knife in my opionion no matter price.
I Already Own A Heeter M-O-W And Just Score A Roque Shark 2.0 So Never Mind They Both Are BadAssery Sauces And Love Both Of Them,But The Skike Definitely Will See The Majority Time In My Edc Rotation😎
Nothing to do with the video but maybe you could touch on detents sometime.steel vs ceramic or maybe different ones i dont know about. Think it would be a good knife topic
+Jim Skelton No problem, Jim :) Always liked Emerson design and ergonomics, but I just can't like them enough to own one with all of the problems they have for me. Bad fit an finish, a steel that needs to be sharpened every 10 minutes, and wonky edge geometry are not my favorite features on a knife. But, they are so good in the hand and the wave is awesome. Anyway, I love what was done with the edge on this knife, because it's the good parts of Emerson's grinds with a better steel and improved for actual use...of course, that edge thickness ain't doin a whole lot of slicing anyway ;)
NathanRyan 5533 um, no... not sure a heavy custom collector knife is ideal for a bugout kit, but if you are trying to build an elegant bugout kit, then why not (i guess).
I kind of have a medford mentality with these kinds of knives. I'd rather the phosphor bronze washers with this one than bearings. Don't needa be all gay and flippy with EVERYTHING. Perfect the way it is IMO. Love it!
I dig this knife for the price it's well worth it compared to other over built knives on the market rite now the coloring looks killer every thing on this knife says don't screw with me lol
If you ever want to sell this knife, please, PLEASE, look me up. This is the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever set my eyes on. Most of my collection consists of Medford’s. Thank you 🇺🇸
If there were ever a knife id throw down this kind of cash for, this is definitely one of them. Wish i could tell myself i need it like i can get away with car parts. Could probably chuck this thing at someone and knock em out cold.
It's hilarious that a $1300 custom knife has a horrible action, ridiculous lock bar tension and is uncomfortable to use and carry. For $1300 these kinks should have been worked out before sale
This is exactly why I don't see myself ever spending that kind of money on a knife. 650$ for something that isn't even comfortable enough to use and apparently doesn't even work as its supposed to... If a knife is designed and marketed as a "flipper" and it cant even "flip" then something is very wrong.
WOW!! THIS is why I love knives!! Just when you start to think youve seen it all, BLAM!! you see something like this! Thank you for Sharing and thank you to the entire community for Showing me and teaching me something that I truly Love!! This thing is SICKKKK!!!!
Wait till you watch my other Skike video that came later. lol
I have watched this one single video 2 dozen times . My all time favorite knife . Ohhh what I would do for this piece of steel , titanium beautiful craftsmanship. I’ve watched almost all of your videos but for some damn reason I always start my knife watching bindge with the one piece
"Is it a tool or a weapon" anything can be a weapon if used like one. this is a knife.
the stars were lined up perfectly. that is precisely the knife I want for my first custom. exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the heads up Jim.
This is incredible. My mind is BLOWN. I think I just found my first grail knife.
Thank you thank you thank you . I’ve seen almost all of your vids and at the moment I’m out in California fighting a wild fire and some days have quite a few hours of staging time (waiting around) for orders or a mission to go on .

I love the color pop on the knife. That will definitely be a show stopper!

Jim, you are just living the life. Thank you
your timing and uses of "fuckin" and "shit" are truly impeccable.
Quality sailor you are. Respect.
Jim I remember the older days of your Chanel when you would do the cutting paper test on that spyderco tuff designed by edd schemp. Loved it man the knife is badass.
I've always liked custom knives, but never really found a kind I liked . Now this Overbuilt style? THIS I like!
massively folder. heavy-duty and dangerous designed for tactical weapons. huge and robust. good presentation that i ve just found it here.
One of the most gorgious anodisation jobs i have ever seen. Very nice. One thing, i personally would have seen the polished edge on the presentation side i think.
Philosophy of use: Dinosaur Slayer
+DjRjSolarStar This is more like a dinosaur skinner. One of his fixed blades would be the dinosaur slayer haha.
Before I seen this video, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a "High End Knife Market." Glad TH-cam threw it in my list; this is some seriously cool stuff.

@Gunner Princeton It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
My folding knife has a two strip screws. Where can I get a replacements. All the local hardware shops could not help me.
This is my favorite knife you have done a video on
Jim what is the watch you are wearing?
Nice!!!
Every freaking knife you show us, is never fucking available lol. Wtf that's like showing a steak to an Ethiopian
Lmao
Like I said in the video, Pete will be opening up his books soon for a brief amount of time.
+Jim Skelton And I just got in his books....I think. Fuck yeah!....I think.
That blade geometry is so god damn awesome, thats not a knife blade: it's a spear head!
This is really a beast of a knife...like it a lot!
Does anyone know if there are any cheaper knives out there with this type of blade design? I love it.
This. Is. A. Hell. Of. A. Knife!
Hey Jim, little help? I want to buy an oversize folder and oversized fixed knives. Any suggestions?
I want it! Since you're getting your new one, would you sell this one?
Do do have a video of any of DSK Tactical knives?
+Jake45499 Uploaded one about 2 weeks ago. DSK Diamondback v2 prototype
+Jim Skelton Oh found it thanks
Beautiful knife. You Sir, have excellent taste.
From the handle I would have said it resembles a crusader forge. Love the hardware on this blade.
Sorry Jim, I beg to differ. My Rogue Shark is ridiculously sharp. Despite its thick spine, I can do some fine cutting tasks due to it unique grind. I can cut ribbons of paper, fine food prep, and of course I can cut through harder materials like wood. And it can still keep going, thanks to its 3v steel. This is probably the sharpest knife I have. Sharper than my Microtech DOC, Ferko Mako, and Reate Horizon CF. Love your knife btw.
Well I did actually say that it was very sharp. However the thick edge will make it tricky for certain cutting tasks.
+Jim Skelton Fortunately, I haven't really had trouble but I understand where you're coming from. But I really must thank you, had it not been for your Instagram post about Skike after Blade 2015.

Jim, ever own a DSK Tactical kickstand?
I was on Dan's books for one but we switched it to the Diamondback. I can't wait to get it.
Nice. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
The reason I like my Solo v5 is its "overbuilt" but its still a great cutter because of how lean its ground.

the base model Praetorian T starts at $700. This is a nice knife and is a great competitor to a Medford
I love this rouge shark. Overbuilt is for me!
Handles look thick enough to just nest bearings in there, don't you think?
completely unrelated to this knife but i just watched your Grimsmo Norseman review. i agree with your point you made about the blade shape but the brothers are working on a new prototype with a "regular" blade called THE RASK. I can not wait to get my hands on one. just a heads up
It is nice. I had the chance to play with their prototype.
+Jim Skelton then sir I am officially jealous of you
+Jim Skelton How was the Rask? I have mine ordered and it seems like a good sized EDC. If the action is anything like the Norseman, I'm thinking it'll be a great knife.
What kind of unit is a thal/fal? (couldn't hear properly. What's wrong with mm or inches?
+Paul Canning Thou. Abbreviation for thousands of an inch.
+Jim Skelton 200 thousands of an inch is 5mm according to Google. Those slabs look thicker then that...
amazing colors
you talk about overbuilt, but you never talk about Demko...and you should. Though, this is prettier and incredibly innovative - really nice custom work on this.
I don't mention Demko because I don't own one, nor have I handled one. No interest really, don't want a lockback (mid-lockback or Triad Lock, etc)
It's the only lockback I've ever wanted as I'm not a fan of them myself. I had Andrew put bearings in mine. I only bring it up because you have some great knives and some very over built ones, but one that many say is the strongest of the strong - Demko AD10 - that one isn't your roster. I will say, the AD10 is a pure utility design - pretty plain - but...you also can hang 900 lbs off the end of it if you so chose...

i think i seen more unicorns than most of the knives you review...
but damn dude you go into some intense detail, always a good watch
Yo Jim are you going to do another giveaway at 40k subs? Congrats on the 35k! Keep em coming
favorite knife yet!!!!
Hey Jim, I would love to see a video of well priced custom knives, as a teenager interested in knives, I'm making money but not enough to spend 1000 on a custom and where I draw the line is around 500. Would be awesome to see something like that! Thanks

So beautiful!!
Sorry, but I gotta laugh at these custom knives with "impact points" talking about "punching through skulls" haha. Like anyone is going to hard use a fuckin 900 dollar folder.
Plenty of collectors hard use much more expensive knives.
I have a 500 dollar knife that I beat the shit out of daily. I love it.
I daily use and hard use my Half dress Butcher...
Plenty of people use their knives vs collect
I have this knife. I've beaten the shit out it, from yard work to camping. I don't just collect I use all my knives regardless of price.
I beat the hell out of $500 knives...chopping branches off trees, splitting wood, cut up metal cans, etc. I'd love to have this knife and destroy cars with it lol
So that whole "spare washer" thing can be forgotten when he puts the knife on bearings. Has he considered that?
Andrew Rodriguez I'm sure he has. This was a review on the current iteration. I suspect the next will have likewise symmetry, heck maybe even spare ball bearings on the floating pivot.
I quit carrying some of my knives that were expensive as a EDC. Main reason on this is due to prior incidents that occured where several of my expensive knives (one had customized silver knuckles on the handle of the fixed blade) got confiscated by the officers who were called to the scene. Not only did those knives get confiscated, it came with hefty fine for carrying such knives along with other repercussions that followed suit due to the incident).
this is the knife that is responsible or gateway knife-i was trying to look up info for it and i discovered medford knives way back in early 2012 and i ordered one and the illness deeply ingrained.lol
how do i get this??????????
Why dont knife creaters add a glass-breakers to their designs? Is it impractical? or do they make knifes for astetetic looks only?
bbullock41617 To my knowledge, glass breakers are heavy on a knife, so if the blade is light and the handle is heavy the glass breaker will be impractical, however if it is blade heavy and the handle is light it will most likely to have a glass breaker...

I have reached out to this company about a knife but can’t get a response. Love your videos
Chisel Edge=FFG on one side for the edge (the primary bevel goes into a zero grind like on this knife) and they bevel the edge on the opposite side.
@jim he says on his Instagram that the skull breaker is 3v
Amazing knife
Bigger than what i would want, but i really like the resign and color scheme
I Already Own A Heeter M-O-W And Just Score A Roque Shark 2.0 So Never Mind They Both Are BadAssery Sauces And Love Both Of Them,But The Skike Definitely Will See The Majority Time In My Edc Rotation😎
This wasn't designed to be a tool or a weapon. It was designed to look cool.
Brutal. I love it.
could this thing even cut tbh I am fine thick blades but if you wanted to cut a box with this it be a struggle.
Allen C Probably not ideal, but chisel grinds are fairly effective at tasks like box/carpet cutting.
Nice folding prybar
where's the stop pin.
Nothing to do with the video but maybe you could touch on detents sometime.steel vs ceramic or maybe different ones i dont know about. Think it would be a good knife topic
it looks beast
Chisel edge, same as Emerson knives does on their knives. Supposedly, easier to sharpen in the field.
True. I always forget about Emerson's edge. I haven't owned one in probably ten years. Thanks.
+Jim Skelton No problem, Jim :)
Always liked Emerson design and ergonomics, but I just can't like them enough to own one with all of the problems they have for me.
Bad fit an finish, a steel that needs to be sharpened every 10 minutes, and wonky edge geometry are not my favorite features on a knife.
But, they are so good in the hand and the wave is awesome.
Anyway, I love what was done with the edge on this knife, because it's the good parts of Emerson's grinds with a better steel and improved for actual use...of course, that edge thickness ain't doin a whole lot of slicing anyway ;)
I want one of these pretty bad but I can never get ahold of the guy to buy one.
Great bug out bag knife. :)
NathanRyan 5533 um, no... not sure a heavy custom collector knife is ideal for a bugout kit, but if you are trying to build an elegant bugout kit, then why not (i guess).
I like the way you talk! sounds like a race car.
Holy crap that knife makes me want to wretch.
Symmetry and contrast is so mainstream
I kind of have a medford mentality with these kinds of knives. I'd rather the phosphor bronze washers with this one than bearings. Don't needa be all gay and flippy with EVERYTHING. Perfect the way it is IMO. Love it!
panzer folder knife for tankman
happy knife day
I dig this knife for the price it's well worth it compared to other over built knives on the market rite now the coloring looks killer every thing on this knife says don't screw with me lol
absolute beast Jiminator ! Cheers from the Far North East !,,,,Spook
IF.... you ever want to sell that Piece, I would be interested.. Im sure Im not alone
If you ever want to sell this knife, please, PLEASE, look me up. This is the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever set my eyes on. Most of my collection consists of Medford’s. Thank you 🇺🇸
I cant believe you totally missed that it has a bottle opener
If there were ever a knife id throw down this kind of cash for, this is definitely one of them. Wish i could tell myself i need it like i can get away with car parts. Could probably chuck this thing at someone and knock em out cold.

Id say theyre not too out there because the people who will drop above $200 on a knife are a small percentage.
I thought it was a crusader forge
This is exactly why I don't see myself ever spending that kind of money on a knife. 650$ for something that isn't even comfortable enough to use and apparently doesn't even work as its supposed to... If a knife is designed and marketed as a "flipper" and it cant even "flip" then something is very wrong.
damn nice
Nice, but I still rather have a Direware !!
But, Direware are not full custom handmade knives.
Philosophy Of Use. (Reason to have).
Oh FUCK 😳

Просто обалденный нож )))
Put it up against a Todd Heeter M.O.W 😎
praetorian T is 700 even.
"Impractical. That's a good thing" wat lol
and you better believe I'm gonna use it hard. I mean I'm not gonna be hard using it but...u know what I mean. Hell, actually yes I am. I said it.
