KnifeCenter’s very own David C. Andersen collaborated with Maniago Knife Makers to design a pocket fixed blade inspired by his original Skipjack design. With MagnaCut blade steel, two blade shapes and MKM’s great magnetic leather sheath, the Pocket Tango is your next everyday dance partner. Get one here: kcoti.com/3PBSP0s

Can’t wait to get my hands on one! Lately I’ve become a big believer in the small-to-mid sized pocket fixed blade. It’s not much more of a pain to carry than a large folder, but you still get all of the benefits of a fixed blade. Glad to see more quality choices in this genre.

The Ulticlip is the one piece of hardware that changed the fixed blade carry game. Without it I doubt we would see the variety of pocket carried fixed blades we see today.

The problem is finding a workable pocket sheath. The MKM magnetic sheath is useless - as you try to draw the knife, the sheath comes out of the pocket with the knife.

​@@M1911jln Really? I have the smaller version they make for slipjoints that I EDC for my SAK Climber. It barely fits in that sheath. Like it's still tight even after me using it and yet it stays in my pocket despite that super tight fit when I pull out my climber.

@@M1911jln I bought the knife as a thank you to DCAA for all he does (like many folks here). We also agree on almost everything knife. This sheath unfortunately isn't one of them. The magnet isnt strong enough to keep it stuck to your pocket and the inside of mine is already getting chewed to bits with the heal of the blade after a week or 2. I'll continue to enjoy the knife but I need to find a kydex maker to build me a sheath. Too bad.

Just got mine and been carrying for the last two days; Initial impressions quite strong! Came wickedly sharp, and the lambsfoot blade shape is an EDC dream. Regarding the sheath, it’s breaking in slowly but as I’ve seen stated, when drawing from a fully seated position it does tend to come out of the pocket along with the knife. I’ve found success leaving it fully seated when I’m going about my day, but as I enter a work space where I’ll need it repeatedly, I push off with my index finger to draw it, and then re-seat it to a “high ready” position if you will. The magnetic retention grabs it securely and it can ride like that and I come back to it. I’ll fully seat it again when it’s no longer needed for a bit. DCA if you hear one thing, a slightly larger model would be a dream! Add an inch to the blade, and increase the grip by 15-20% and I’d buy another in a heartbeat. All in all, super happy!

I purchased one of the modified sheepsfoot version of this knife as soon as you guys had them in stock and I love it. The knife is a tactile pleasure and I'm amazed how well this smaller knife fits in my larger hands. My other fixed blade daily pocket knife is a Bradford Guardian 3 which is a larger feeling knife than this (at least with the 3d handle scales that I have), so having a lower profile version is nice! Not super into the sheath on this one myself as the magnet doesn't seem to hold to my pocket too well when drawing the knife with one hand, but the leather may loosen up a bit with time. I do love how the magnet "sucks" the knife into the sheath though when re-sheathing and helps retain the blade with confidence. Wish I could get my hands on a Skipjack but they seem to have been out of stock for a bit. Love the knife, keep up the good work!

Just got my Pocket Tango today and love the feel and sharpness out of the box, my only complaint with the knife at this price point is the gaps where the olive wood handles meet the knife tang (which will allow debris/germs/etc, to get under the scales). Regarding the sheath, I do NOT like the magnets. Can you recommend a suitable substitute I can purchase, or can MKM make another identical sheath available for purchase as an accessory WITHOUT the magnet 🧲?

Hey, DCA, finally! CONGRATS In my industry, there’s a term - Use Case. It describes a set of an end users’ needs and functions that summarises the utility of a product, which designer sets out to accomplish when developing a product. Question: what is the use case for a pocket fixed blade in general and how does this specific knife accomplishes it better than others? You described some of its features very well, yet outlining the use case first would help a buyer understand WHY do they need one and HOW this specific pocket fixed blade accomplishes it better. Maybe it’s a good topic for the FAQ video?

I have 2 MKM knives and they're both the same model, but with different meterials. It's the MKM Isonzo clip point blade. I have the Blade HQ Marbled carbon Fiber and m390 model, and I have the bronzed titanium m390 model. I keep the ti model put up with a cool Bronze Roman Soldier helmet lanyard on it that matches perfectly, but I rotate the Marbled Carbon Fiber model in and out with my Chaves TAK. These models look really interesting, may have to pick one up.

Ok. Finally got mine in the mail. Nesmuck and olive wood. Just wanted to share my feelings, first impressions. Maybe it will help time melt a decision or maybe suggest some tweaks to make going forward. So, scales have a nice slight texture. I think either just oil treated or more textured would be nice, but it's pleasant in hand as is. I'd also prefer the scales cover all the handle and have a lanyard tube. But again, it's ok as is. The little beak does hit me right in the middle of my little finger which isn't great however. Quite uncomfortable actually. The grind is rather thick behind the edge. I'm actually considering finding someone to thin it out. Especially for a tough steal like mangacut, it really should be thinned out. The sheath is well made. I like the magnetic attachment. One change I'd like to see is a second layer of leather between the magnet and the knife because it holds a bit too tight. The knife drags and pulls the sheath out of the pocket, or off the belt the majority of the time. So those are my first impressions. Overall it's not going to be my favourite little knife. But it's a decent little fixed blade
