The dagger itself is crazy but that sheath is f**kn BANANAs. The skin literally placed perfectly with the an eye is absolutely perfect and very creative. When someone says I have a knife worth thousands of dollars you would expect to see that level of detail.
That's a Randal to the power of 3! Even someone like myself who probably wouldn't have chosen something like that has to bow down to the mastery of the work put into that entire package! Chef's kiss all around
An absolutely fantastic example of South African artistry. Simplicity allows the beauty of its design and finish to be appreciated in full, and the sheath is equally lovely. Congratulations on a truly spectacular piece.
That is unbelievably amazing. For real there is a lot of hours in to that dagger. No way its not in some display case at a museum. Much appreciative of the craftsmanship. Of the blade and sheath.
This is a sweet dagger with a mirror polish, MC ... congratulations on this work of art by Deon Nel. Looks to me like the first cousin of a Randall Model #2.
Now THAT is a work of art! The Blade is, in a word, P E R F E C T. A true Master craftsman can take something with simple lines and execute it so perfectly, that the finished piece is so outstanding that even though it has simple lines, people look at it and just stop...and stare...to take in the simple perfection that stands before them. This is a Dagger that can stand among the best of the Master Blade Smiith knives, and still catch eyes, just for its simplistic beauty and perfection. I don't know what you Paid Deon for this blade, but whatever it is, it was WORTH IT!
Do you know if the design is inspired by the Randall model 2? the straight handle makes it remind me of the model 2's Randall made in 1943-44. If the Randall was made for the battlefield, then this is it in its dress uniform. stunning.
I used to collect and restore knifes like this. This is stunning and properly sharpeed on each side. Its meant to be carried and showed off lol, pretty sure that woud get you arrested. Congrats on your ourchase. Beautiful
Jeezzzz... I've seen a lot of your mirror polish "face reveals" and never saw your mug on a blade like that before. That things ridiculous. Well done sir!
Ive just reached out to Deon for this model. He said he would try and source some feather Damascus for me, but if not Im cool with that mirror finish too. Im asking him to also use Fat Carbon for handle material, but not sure which pattern to use. Any suggestions for a patter to pair with feather Damascus or the mirror polish?
Exceptional knife sir! Reminds me of some of the great Randall knives of the past. Have you ever had or handled any Randall fixed blades? Would love to pull the trigger on bear or confederate bowie. Even the Randall astro is sick being a knife that accompanied the mercury astronauts on the first manned space flights
I haven't started watching yet, but couldn't help myself. Is this the same Dagger you had built that got lost in the mail a few months back? Did the package show up or did he make you another one. Now I'm gonna start watching, and probably have all my questions answered 😅 Don't judge me
@@metal_complex Oh yeah that's right I remember it was Bastian now that you mention it. That's a real bummer man. My condolences, or whatever we say in situations like that. Maybe we can get the community together and have another one made for you when and IF Bastian can do it?

This is definitely the dagger in the display case in the back of some shop in Morrowind that you spend 45 minutes and six quicksaves trying to steal.
Lol
I've never related to such a short comment so strongly.
Skyrim for me but ohmygod yes
Truth!
And that is why mods exist.
I appreciate the stingray leather as a center piece to the sheath
The dagger itself is crazy but that sheath is f**kn BANANAs. The skin literally placed perfectly with the an eye is absolutely perfect and very creative. When someone says I have a knife worth thousands of dollars you would expect to see that level of detail.
That polish is crazy. The design is so clean and professional. It just screams business. I love it.

Watching without sound (in public, and I'm nice), imagining the 2001 "Also Sprach Zarathustra" as you pulled out from the sheath.
Gorgeous!
Even with the sound on I heard it blasting from above and below.
Wow , what amazing craftsmanship in both the dagger and sheath.
I mean holy crap! The sheath alone was done to perfection!!!
Beautiful piece! Congrats MC! That sheath is amazing!
Insane knife there. Same for the sheath. Incredible work done on both. Very envious right now. Thanks for sharing with us.
The most beautiful dagger I have seen. That stingray hide sheath is really something else.
That is beautiful. Words cannot described the beauty in the simplicity.
That is unbelievably amazing. For real there is a lot of hours in to that dagger. No way its not in some display case at a museum. Much appreciative of the craftsmanship. Of the blade and sheath.
I’ve been waiting for you to unbox this for so long. Congrats man, it’s beautiful.
Wow. That is absolutely stunning. No other words are needed.
South Africa has an incredible density of ridiculously talented custom makers.
Thanks brother!
What a knife ,that would grace anyone's hands or collection, the sheath as well is awesomeness
Utter and total perfection and that's just the sheath. Magnificent MC!!!
This is a sweet dagger with a mirror polish, MC ... congratulations on this work of art by Deon Nel. Looks to me like the first cousin of a Randall Model #2.
Wow! That is gorgeous. Congrats on getting such beautiful piece to your collection.
What an EPIC piece the blade is beautiful as is the sheath it’s magnificent!!!! You’ve once again outdone yourself!!!
Yes, the sheath is stunning!

That's truly amazing. I haven't the words man. The Sheath in itself wow.
that leather patch slapping into the frame was so satisfying that i hope you do that every video!
Wow! What a beauty! This is one of these "Grale-Knifes"! Best regards from Oldenburg/Germany! Jörg
That’s one heck of a letter opener, MC😂😂… Kidding aside, that is So Gorgeous😍😍. Definitely a show piece for me…
That’s one of the nicest daggers I’ve ever seen. I understand your enthusiasm.
That is definitely a beautiful knife. That sheath is amazing too. 👍👍
One of the best knives you've had on the channel. It looks amazing!
_This one is gorgeoussss!!! A truly epic piece!_
This is an amazing piece and you're a very fortunate owner of such beauty!
Dude this awesome! I just got my first custom mailed out to me today, I'm feeling the hype right now.
But how does it compare size wise to a PM2 and Para3?
I believe the original vid title said "Bugout Killer" lol
Do you know if the design is inspired by the Randall model 2? the straight handle makes it remind me of the model 2's Randall made in 1943-44. If the Randall was made for the battlefield, then this is it in its dress uniform. stunning.
What a beautiful dagger. Thanks for sharing MC
That sheath man! From my understanding, stingray leather is the toughest and hardest to work with. $$$
Wow that’s incredible looking. Must feel great in the hand
I used to collect and restore knifes like this. This is stunning and properly sharpeed on each side. Its meant to be carried and showed off lol, pretty sure that woud get you arrested. Congrats on your ourchase. Beautiful
That is beautiful mate congrats to you and we'll done to the maker
Exquisite workmanship. Is that Stingray leather? Awesome!
You aren’t kidding this is the best looking knife you’ve had on the channel bar none.
Whoa.......in complete awe. Just stunning. Congratulations man
Houston NEEDS a Blade Show!
Definitely cool , have you seen the Magnacut swords by Dawson knives ? They're amazing man, the 13 inch with red g10 handles is calling my name
Does he use an electropolishing process for that? Seems it would be the best way to get that very low Ra finish
Love the sting ray sheath
What steel?
Steel is N690
I would only open TH-cam check envelopes with it. Lol
4:30 oh my kind of knife.
HOLY F...! That is beautiful!
There You GO ! SO NICE !! WOW !
Beautiful. It brought a genuine "w...t....f***?" Out of me as you pulled it from the sheath, lol
Jeezzzz... I've seen a lot of your mirror polish "face reveals" and never saw your mug on a blade like that before. That things ridiculous. Well done sir!
Even the mirror finish
has mirror finish.!

This is 1 beautiful dagger, Hallelujah! 🤩
Lol... I have to F's to give for fixed blades but I was so excited to watch this to listen to the noises you make when something blows your mind.
Wow! That is a beautiful thing- enjoy 😁👍
Frankly... that handle looks like...
DymaLux.
Gorgeous piece. 🤘
Fantastic piece of art!❤
I like people that appreciate mirror polishing as much as I do.🤘🏻
Lol this isnt what i was expecting i was thinking it was going to be more flashy.
Its neat but I'm not really a fan 😅 glad you like it
What a beautiful dagger one of the best I have ever seen. I would keep it under lock and key.
That thing is an absolute work of art! Wow👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best !!!! Like egg 🥚 just simple perfect
10 on the slap, man the last few have been on point.
"It's glove time."
Yes, I would have lost it too. 🥰
Exceptional knife sir! Reminds me of some of the great Randall knives of the past. Have you ever had or handled any Randall fixed blades? Would love to pull the trigger on bear or confederate bowie. Even the Randall astro is sick being a knife that accompanied the mercury astronauts on the first manned space flights
Very nice Dagger. I still feel the Custom daggers made by the custom shop at bark river is hard to beat.
I'm not a fixed blade guy but DAMN that's badass!!
That's some Walter Brend level of double hollow grind. Beautiful work.
I was thinking why you needed the gloves until you pulled the blade free of the sheath, then it was like oh now I got ya. Awesome nlade
That's a stunning piece,holy jeez 😳🔥
I saw that, and I shivered........I mean, dadgum.......that's absofreakinglutelybeautiful!!!!!!!
That looks amazing 🔥👍 , that mirror polish is crazy , very badass 👏
Just stunning, wow! 😳
Not my kinda thing but can appreciate the beauty in it. Cool MC.

I’m here for it!
BEAUTIFUL work. Congratulations
Finally!!!! Congratulations MC!
Gorgeous.
Holy crap that’s so gorgeous! Congrats man, you deserve it!
Does it glow when Orcs are nearby?
Wow that sure is a beautiful dagger. I can’t imagine the amount of hours that went in to making it.
Valérian steel for sure.
Gorgeous blade! Gives me SBD Arch Nemesis vibes
Most beautiful. Cool, no need to send more substandard knives 😂
Best looking knife I've seen . Wish I had the dough
Congrats on the giggles 💜💜💜👐
Any update on the Bastian Knives dagger?
I'm having a new one made. In progress
@@metal_complex oh my god you can dual wield them!
That dagger is beautiful, send the sheath back.
Holy shit dude!!! My God! Utterly lovely! I've never seen anything like it. I got flushed and sweaty.
Stunning! Miss Universe just walked into the room in a ball gown, and nobody looked up to greet her.
I haven't started watching yet, but couldn't help myself. Is this the same Dagger you had built that got lost in the mail a few months back? Did the package show up or did he make you another one. Now I'm gonna start watching, and probably have all my questions answered 😅 Don't judge me
Different dagger. Different maker. The OG was by Bastian and its gone forever
@@metal_complex Oh yeah that's right I remember it was Bastian now that you mention it. That's a real bummer man. My condolences, or whatever we say in situations like that. Maybe we can get the community together and have another one made for you when and IF Bastian can do it?
How much did your build cost?
I could feel the excitement just from your Instagram post. ❤❤❤
