MDV Plus One Customization with
Вставка

- One of the key features of the @Skallywagtactical MDV Plus One is the ability to make it your own. Michael ensured that this knife had multiple opportunities for customization post purchase. From choosing the best sheath, to taping the handle, to deciding what carry option to use, the MDV is designed to be customized to best suit individual needs.
Michael wanted those who purchased an MDV Plus One to spend time and energy on the knife. The more time someone puts into customizing the knife, the more thought will go into the blade that will potentially be used to save their life.
In this video, Michael goes into detail on a few options to customize the MDV Plus One to fit your needs. He goes over the need to tape the handle and things to consider when deciding the best way to tape it. He talks about different tape brands and his thoughts on each. Customizing the Rhino Sheath and Flat Sheath for multiple carry options is discussed, as well as how to use basic items at home to repair the Rhino Sheath if necessary.
If you haven’t seen the MDV Handle Wrapping UA-cam Video, make sure you check that out. This video does not cover that lesson in detail, but it does build upon what was covered during that video.
This video is broken down into the following parts:
PART 1 - Intro & Review of MDV Customization
PART 2 - Taping the MDV
PART 3 - Repairing the Rhino Sheath
PART 4 - Two Options for the Soft Loop Belt Attachments

I would not want to meet this guy in a dark alley. He tapes his knives depending on the type of violence needed. Haha
😂
Just ordered the Damascus one. Wish I could get some one on one training. I believe this guy definitely knows what he's doing. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of his knives with him wielding it. Great video.
I'm glad to hear the blue one is slightly thicker: I had the exact opposite problem with the red. Even with the ranger bands on the rhino, it would fall out whenever the sheath was angled downward (but the retention for the black D2 was perfect.) I've been using a single layer of goon tape around the blade of the red which gives it just enough thickness for retention, but I'll probably pick up a blue to use with the bands off and try to convert the red into something partner-friendly like the more heavily-padded version you've got to the far right of the screen.
Sorry to hear the trainers are not more uniform in their dimensions. We have tried out best to keep the manufacturers to a high standard. Working with aluminum seems to be hard to keep the same across the board too. And with something like this, a small change will make the trainer too thick or too thin for the sheath. Its frustrating to say the least.
We are going to be releasing the "how to" on the padded trainer I have on the desk soon. Currently its available for those subscribed to our EliteYou.com platform or for those that have purchased our virtual training course at vimeo.com/ondemand/mdvplusone Look for the UA-cam video here within the next two weeks. Thank you again for watching and the comments!!

I just ordered the damascus model several days ago. I am excited. I currently carry a carbon fiber ZT flip knife so this will be an addition to that. Thank you from NC!
That’s a great design. 👊🏾✨
That's a lot of stuff right there.
Just ordered. Can't wait to feel this bad little fauqrr. I'll be back with review.
Good idea on the rubber grommets, that would save a substantial volume of tape.
thanks MIke for showing me how to put it on the sheath
Im happy you found the video! I was going to send you this video in your other comment.
@@EliteYouChannel Mike i would love to see videos of using the MDV+1 on some one wearing different clothes, like a heavy carhart type jacket to clothing that may move the blade from hitting the intended target.
Very helpful how to attach belt straps, thanks.
? If possible. With the hook end you could use that with a ridge hand or Hammer blow? I don't have one in hand but plan on purchasing.
Absolutely. the hook itself can be used as a tool for manipulation or an eye gouge. the pummel or bottom can be used to strike with and if you have the skill to hit with a ridge hand, the metal will only enhance the strike. Thanks for the question.
@@EliteYouChannel thank you
what about wrapping it with paracord 550 "West Country Whipping Knot" to keep it slim and tight?
I might try that configuration when I order a knife.
We have a number of people who like to use paracord to wrap the MDv Fixed Blade. It works really well. The handle is bare to allow you to customize the grip however you feel is best for your comfortability and use requirements. I am not sure what videos you have seen on the blade but this one focuses on using grappling tape as an option: ua-cam.com/video/NxGo9ibaWcs/v-deo.html
Its how I personally wrap them. I was never good at paracord wrapping and felt this process would be easier to pass on. Also, there are multiple videos on how to wrap a knife with paracord. Didn't see any using the method I chose.

@@EliteYouChannel are the sheats made to work with the trainers as well or do I have to get a separate?
Yes. The sheaths work with the trainers. They are rounded edged but the profile is the same. They are thin and can still puncture if you’re not careful during training. It’s one of the complaints we’ve had in the past.
I apologize for the delay on this. The business app forces me to search for replies manually.
@@EliteYouChannel no worries, alredy orderd the blemished blade with rhino sheat and trainer, its very nice
Awesome! I’m happy you’re pleased with the design.
What kind of grommets are you using?
Black Rubber Grommets 5/8". Bought them at Lowes.
Where can I buy the MDV Plus one.
The regular version is sold out. They tend to do that. Skallywag Tactical sells them. They have a number of “blems” available. Read the reviews. It rare to get one where you can tell why it’s a blem. They are discounted of course. You can get one at this link: www.skallywagtactical.com/collections/blades/products/blemished-blades?variant=43775457427671
Thanks for watching. Hope this helps.
