you've confirmed for me what i suspected. there's no more controversial knife right now that i can think of than this. it got lucky with some good initial hype, but frankly he doubled down on a designe that's actually wrong, in that. for the most scientifically ergonomic, the part of the handle that needs to be thinnest is towards the ricasso, this has it opposite. (like most the the extrema fixed blades, like the ratio). and yes, you're right, technically the point of a scandi grind is that it goes to a zero grind, normally it doesn't have a microbevel. even $10 moraknivs have a "true" scandi grind. it goes to a zero bevel. before you sell this you should do a vid of what you think better alternatives to this are. for example Bram Frank, and even ka bar tdi knives for a tiny fraction of the price!
I had a Bloodshark, HAD. It was a cool knife at first and it was the thicker stock version, then it kind of lost its allure to me after I got the OT Scandi by Joe Watson. The Bloodshark is just hype at that price
I've always thought Scandi was a woods or bushcraft, grind. Carving, etc. I would say most of the knives I've seen that would be carried for self defense have had either a Hollow grind or a Saber. Flat grinds are very slicy as well and would inflict a lot of damage. Although any knife will cut and create wounds, a Scandi is definitely not my EDC of choice when concerned about self-defense.
I prefer AMTAC's NorthmanX (the recent upgraded version) similar price point and includes a trainer, but got mine during their Thanksgiving 2022 annual discount sale. NorthmanX: th-cam.com/video/57xeNxV0d3o/w-d-xo.html The 'Bloodshark' is hype like 'TAD Gear'.
hey brotha jake, hope you are well brotha , would you happen to own the guardian tactical o.t.f. knife ? n if yes would you trade/swap any of them you have/own ? , i love tanto's , thanks n talk soon . tom !
Because that’s the secondary market price…..why sell it for $500 when someone will give you $900. Doesn’t mean you have to think it’s worth $900, so long as the person paying the money thinks so. If I had a Jackson Pollock painting, you’d best believe I’d be selling it for $65mil, regardless of the fact I think it’s an obscenely ridiculous price for splashing a couple of tins of paint around.
Thanks for staying so calm. I would rather laughed or cursed all the time through the review.

The price point on this is so ridiculous that it made Jake quit doing knife reviews
I saw you list it for sale and thought you’d lost your mind buying it. Good to get the back story.
“Rugged??” 😂
Glad to see you on here 🤟
Hi I see you everywhere
Where’d Jake go? Such great videos. Hopefully back soon.

The grind looked like a Scandi. I've never known Scandi grinds to be pursued for self-defense applications. The knife and your review CONFUSED me!
Scandi is probably the best for self defense over anything. What would you choose?

Where do you list your stuff for sale?
What do you think about Steve Skiff knives?
The bearded man has NO need for a prison shank!...lol

Fancy prison shank
Yeah. I don’t think so. What is the steel? I’ve never even heard of them.
This is the right question. Im guessing it’s suboptimal magnacut running at 61, instead of 63-64, to really troll your modern knife enthusiasts.
Lol...The bearded man said prison shank!
If you still it I have been wanting one for years.
Come back Jake!!!!
I guess you could call it a master piece of prison engineering!...Lmfaso
Even the bearded man said it was not really sharpened when he obtained it!...Perhaps the bearded man likes to pull 😂 pranks ?!
Check out offensive industries for similar sheaths custom made for your fixed blades.
$500?!?!?
No. Well clearly yes, people pay it…
I don’t even think it’s his design
Maybe they should market it as infamous inmates prison shanks made by hand 🖐 from criminals!
I’ve seen more refined prison shanks
Is this website dead now?
Come on where are you?
Id rather have a Mora or SRK mini for a lot less money.
Still got it? Let’s trade!
Salut de france !
the last of the mohicans knife!
These are stupid in all aspects. Seems like a poor design but gets 💰 because it was designed and made by a SEAL.
Dang bro, you just gonna stop like that?
Yeah, no goodbye or anything? You're definitely not the only one who misses Jake.
I’ll stay with my Spartan Harsey Difensa. Cheaper, longer, and much better looking!
Sorry to say and only my personal opinion...That is one ugly thing!...I would not spend a dime on that 🤔 thing!...lol
Or this was the first knife 🗡 the bearded man perhaps made all by himself!?...Not bad!...Yet I would maybe give ya 5 or 10 bucks for it!...lmfaso
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 seriously?
Talk about over priced, i think its time to make some knockoff bloodsharks. My 8yo son could make that
I bet it would be sharper and with a netter finish.
I don’t understand going on a big rant about price and then listing it for $900. 🤷🏼♂️
