DCA's First Production Knife from MKM at SHOT Show 2024

[@RJxMacReady]

Your new fixed blade looks great! Super well thought out and functional.

[@Dulinz]

Congrats DCA!! It’s so heartwarming to watch your knife making journey as you share the thoughts behind the knife designs. I wish MKM and you lots of success selling these. The knives look great and I’m with you on the leather pocket sheath, it’s beautiful!

[@mikeelek9713]

Congratulations on the knife and partnering with a respected knife maker! The MKM sheathes are excellent quality.

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

DCA, the Pocket Tango is awesome ! I'll be picking up the nessmuk version as soon as available !

[@edwardmiller3469]

Congratulations! Thanks for designing two knives one in your favorite shape and the other one for Thomas. Classy!

[@timothy9596]

Love your new fixed blade. Curious, what's the heat treat on their Magnacut?

[@DylanLey]

Well done on the Pocket Tango! Looks like a great combo of materials for a competitive price! Would love to see a dedicated video on your insight into the design!

[@Snaggums]

Oh wow, that Nessmuk-style Pocket Tango is exactly what I've been waiting for to come out to try a pocket fixed blade. I love it.

[@lutzcasper5285]

Great Knives from DCA and Ben. Amazing that MKM took the opportunity to work with them

[@Jonny_Bo_Bonny]

Congratulations, DCA! I think i speak for most of the KnifeCenter viewers when I say we are very happy for you and excited right along with you. Well done sir!

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

Beautiful DCA !!! I love the olive wood will be a perfect addition to my collection.

[@jamesadowney]

DCA, the pocket tango is awesome. Well played. ANd MKM is a perfect company to release a quality pocket fixed blade. So classy. So glad for this partnership.

[@yornoc318]

Congratulations to both you and Ben on your amazing new designs! I plan to purchase both.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

A reverse tanto. Thomas will be sooooooo happy. Love that Tango. It looks like an amazing little knife.

[@blackhogarth4049]

Congratulations, DCA! The Tango looks awesome! Especially the olive wood nessmuk.

[@benbeattie4609]

Well done David and MKM, I can’t wait to get one of your beautiful designs!

[@repbydesign16]

Dude, David, the knife looks awesome!!!! You should be proud!!

[@knifetrain3118]

Very nice David congrats. This is a fixed blade to me a perfect EDC size and at a reasonable price point. Sounds like they will be around close to my birthday in March. My wife is going to love what she got me for my birthday this year! 😂 🥳

[@whoflungdew]

DCA really digging your Nesi Fixed blade. Are there any kydex options for the sheaths?

[@cylentone]

Love your new EDC Nessmuk 😎

[@shaggy_e210]

Im definitely buying the Pocket Tango in micarta. Its going to be used heavily on the farm

[@Timjstewart]

David, congratulations on your collaboration with MKM. Great looking knives!

[@brianmatthews3450]

I loved the tango from the short instantly now I know you designed it I gotta get one it looks awesome I love a pocket fixed blade

[@brianmatthews3450]

Also congrats dca that's awesome for you. You have definitely made your mark on the knife community it's about time you get to do this

[@dennispoley6005]

Very cool design DCA! Love the lamb's foot Pocket Tango!

[@ting280]

man that lambsfoot with the green micarta has my name all over it

[@traviswrigg5158]

When I was working on a farm, that style of fixed blade was something I wanted desperately to have on my person all the time (in particular that more sheep-y shape). DCA, you just made a very specific group of people with a very specific set of needs delighted. I know a pocket fixed blade is a niche product, but I'm sure this one will do you well

[@mcsquirgle]

the pocket tango is an instant buy for me. cant wait to throw that in my pocket. Thank you MKM for working with DCA!!!

[@TheyllNeverGetMe]

Love the blade DCA. I mostly collect customs nowadays but I will get one of those just to support you brotha. Thank you for the years of entertainment.

[@amatobo384]

The Nessmuk-style Tango is a true beauty! Very well done, DCA and MKM!!! I definitely need to get one 🤩🙏

[@dasadasa2365]

Congrats !!! Very nice design. Hope to get one soon .

[@David-uo7fn]

I love the mkm dca! I would love to see a kydex sheath. Have not found the leather very practical. Love mkm fixed blades.

[@bdubb5390]

Wow! The lambs foot in cf!! I'm not a leather sheath guy. Those are really cool!! Very nice !

[@matthall6974]

Cool! Good for you! Congrats!

[@JeffreyBurkejr]

When the knive in the case which the magnetic hold will the case stay in your pocket an the blade will come or the sheath with the blade come out all together cause it's a weak hold

[@Woolsocks]

What’s the blade thickness on your fixed blade?

[@rubencortez9198]

I don’t carry any fixed blades, however this may be the first. Looks great!

[@KnifeFanatic]

Wow that pocket tango with the sheepsfoot 🥵🥵🥵 so nice, I need one!!

[@DuxLindy]

ball bearings, deep carry, magnacut, made in italy, $140. insane value.

[@Bethany415]

That Tango looks great. How long are the handles?

[@chrisreuther4546]

Amazing stuff from MKM! I want the Anderson-Peterson Combo!!! Making me want to deviate from my typical purchasing

[@littlemouse7066]

I like the nesmuck Pocket Tango problem is it's not cheap. Can you do a version in 14c28n or 12c27?

[@josesolisa823]

Congrats David; you've got you own knive

[@Marcobuck]

Congratulations, very nice. I hope they will be available here in Europe, Spain, as well very soon. I Will buy the Nessmuk shape

[@PoetFisherman]

Congratulations on the MKM collaboration, David. Noyce. I do like a pocket fixed blade.

[@Triggin1]

i'll be picking up one of those pocket tango's for sure!

[@wgkincheloe2458]

Congrats on your design DCA! I really like the Lambsfoot!

[@TheTl33]

David, thank you for making sure they added a sharpening choil! I always love MKMs pocket fix blades until that first sharpening. Also, I wish the olive wood version would come with a brown leather sheath.. still going to buy one though 😅

[@tylerjackson498]

I'm a huge fan of that fixed blade! Definitely gonna grab one. I like the Ben Peterson design, but it's almost identical to the Lander 2.

[@bones10145]

New ones? I finally just got the Mikro and Makro!

[@mikoyanig5512]

I was looking for a small fixed blade and I think I found the one I’m going to get!

[@mikemckenzy]

Great stuff from MKM! Love that U571 deep clip on the Yippy.

[@MikeJ602]

DCA your design looks great man, both blade shapes. Congratulations on that.

[@bryanmatney4955]

DCA, the marble carbon fiber nessmuk is outstanding, that will be the first nessie I have ever bought, all of those are great, the angle tang gives it a great look as well as being functional, and absolutely incredible that you are doing first collab ever with MKM, that’s a big statement, brother, and a cool name too, keep rockin the Pocket Tango

[@seansmith4183]

The design is good and MKM does a great job with small edc fixed blades, so it seems like a winning combination.

[@patrickmunneke8348]

Definitely getting that fixed blade. Whats the HRC on that magnacut?

[@knifecenter]

61-63 is the target -DCA

[@arrowheadguys7637]

DCA, whats the HRC spec on your knife?

[@knifecenter]

61-63 is the target -DCA

[@kermitthepog7063]

I wonder if Thomas Behind-the-Camera would agree with that being a Lambsfoot lol In all seriousness though, sick looking knives man congrats on your first design contract with a big company. Looking forward to being able to buy one of your designs! Pocket Nessmuck sounds perfect for EDC.

[@MrFomhor]

Congrats!

[@tylerlevings8578]

Very curious and the hrc of the yipper and the cross bar lock. Both look great!

[@michaelandrew8493]

I love the pocket fixie i need itttt

[@redleg84]

That nessmuk looks fantastic, I'll be getting one

[@Ajaxykins]

I'm loving that love! Solid nice looking lockback! Put in a request for some olive scales for me on that one!

[@grumpyuncle.]

That is a good looking knife. Well done!

[@grumpyuncle.]

I would really like to see some comparison photos with other popular small knives.

[@19markz67]

Can I reserve a DCA fixed blade?

[@ForRealConfused]

grats man cool knife!

[@Blakdog333]

Well done Sir!

[@HurleyBrley]

Like that pocket Tango in the kepheart blade.

[@knifetrain3118]

Question: Is the olive wood coming in both blade shapes?

[@guyholloway8677]

That’s an awesome knife DCA

[@Pop_Gordo]

I think I speak for everyone when I say congratulations DCA!

[@franticflintstone7999]

I like your pocket fixed blade, David! I see the Nessmuk style olive wood version in my future. The handle shape seems well thought out.

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

i am wearing two of these magnetic sheaths and got the smaller ones on discount ... I am stoked.. I got one and get second free... basically

[@chrisp1598]

Congratulations Dave. I was really surprised how good those felt in my giant hands. I’ll probably grab a nessmuk when they hit knife center.

[@CarlSanford76]

Great job on the knife Dave! Let's be honest though, it's called a "lambs foot" because you didn't want Thomas calling it a reverse tanto.

[@cliffguthrie7530]

Lambs foot? Thomas - what do you think? Reverse Tanto? Nice design DCA!

[@serdj_50618-P]

good stuff!

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

The Tangos are 🔥 😊 Love the MKM pocket fixed blades, anyway. These are stunning. Bravo DCA ✌🏽🤘🏽

[@georgecook5120]

Congrats, DCA - the man with larger than average size hands! 😀

[@strikeIII]

That fixed blade needs a scout carry option.

[@thatguy044]

That MIGHT end up being my first magnacut blade...

[@scrick7112]

Hey DCA. When are the preorders, and when does the Tango become available????? I have the Pilgrim and the two versions of the Lapwing. I’m excited for you, but you left me hanging. Thx

[@lv4235]

The jimping on the lambsfoot ended up more towards the tip. Why did they do that?

[@knifecenter]

Traction point for the index finger during finer tip-work in a pinch grip.

[@DavidFontanari]

Very nice! Here we see some real new knives! Your edc fix balde it’s very nice and super interesting! And the new folder with a crossbar lock it’s up to date, fresa and a tool to consider. Even the back lock look preety interesting… Comparing with brands that change the color of theyr old modèllini, putting some gold backspacer, here it’s a completely other kind of music. Super!

[@lyndonmarquis414]

Oh, DCA, they look _sweet_ man. I can’t decide which blade shape I prefer. Am I going to have to buy both‽

[@stephenmartin7907]

The Tango looks great. Another channel mentioned the knife being a hollow grind. Can you please confirm whether it is flat or hollow? And what the blade thickness is. Congratulations!!!

[@jeremiahjenkins9221]

BladeHQ description says hollow grind

[@stephenmartin7907]

Looks like flat grind according to Knife Center specs. Strange.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@graemehirstwood670]

Ambidextrous!?! Just take my money already!!!!

[@HRM.H]

MKM is one of the few brands i always keep my eyes on

[@kermitthepog7063]

You and Ben should really both be designing some knives for Sencut, right?

[@retireddac]

DCA, my wife is not going to understand why I need to buy another knife. Nonetheless another nessmuk. I bought some on your recommendation and have to agree with you. Just a great EDC shape to carry for real life use. And this one makes me think it will fit an XL hand since you are known to have slightly larger than average hands. 😂😂😂 But in all seriousness, I went back and looked at which knives fit your hand size and those are my current EDC. Thanks for advice and great knives. I appreciate it.

[@Tusk2001]

Wait! WHAT? You designed a Nessmuk? You? You don’t say! Actually, I am excited for both your design and the $70 MKM. Being on.a very fixed income, I try to stay under $100. I will stretch for a bocket Nessmuk. While I prefer other locking mechanisms, I will buy a $79 MKM, in a nano second. Can’t wait till they are available!

[@diogenesstudent5585]

Get MKC to make more knives.

[@MikeCzenkMD]

Im buying that lambsfoot asap

[@ajmuehlberg6138]

DCA big dawging the mkm rep

[@etherealicer]

Marbeled CF Nessmuck, yes please...

[@etherealicer]

But I'm even more excited for the crossbar lock :D

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

I want the orange sheath like the fara........ kidex i seen it scratches... scratch that idea lol

[@oldstogey7864]

Hi DCA. I love your coverage, BUT it doesn't show up in my YT feed! I'm subscribed, etc; and I get all your regular videos, but none of your SHOT Show ones show up at all, I have to go look for them. Is there something different in the way you upload them? Are any of your other subscribers having the same problem? BTW: the Nessmuk Tango looks really good.

[@Stereotype3]

They show up as normal for me, but I do manually click "Subscriptions" instead of "Home" to find all the new uploads of the channels I subscribe to rather than a random mix of videos picked by KZbin.

[@EggsOverSleazy]

A DCA designed, Italian built, pocket fixed blade, in magnacut, for a good price. That's a grand slam! Congratulations!

[@johnelkins2062]

Pocket tango…👀👀

[@mogukumale]

You sir, just sold me a pocket nessmuk.
