It's a great knife it's the perfect size for jobs that require more than a folding knife can handle but job doesnt require a large fixed bade the mini edge handle feels so great in my large hand that it earned a place in my edc bag
While small, it works. I carry mine when gardening.
I haven't yet used it in the field but have toned a few of my knives quite nicely. The leather sheath was a great idea, allowing for stropping.
Worth it!
Thank you for your great customer service, I had discrepancy in my address when ordering and David and Gabe where awesome in fixing it will be buying from yall again cheers.
Fits comfortably in the hand, light to carry. I've been using it as my skinning knife and it works a treat. Holds an edge really well. My only suggestion for possible improvement is to make the handle sections with a waterproof seal to keep the fire steel dry so it doesn't corrode quietly inside the handle.
I bought my first PACK-1 Elite knife last year. I use it so often I wanted to make absolutely sure I always had one, so I bought a spare just in case I lost it one way or another. In decades of using a knife on a daily basis, I have never come across another knife that is so light, handy, useful, and resiliently sharp as the PACK-1 Elite. It is so well designed, with a handle that has no hot spots, it can be used effortlessly all day. When combined with UST's diamond/stropping kit, you always have a razor sharp, precision instrument that will last a lifetime, or more. A truly indispensable tool.
I have equipment I have gathered over the years that I use regularly and trust to work when I need it. Among that equipment is a very short list of items I can count on to perform at 100% efficiency, 100% of the time. The Elite Warrior makes the grade. The excellent triple edge design can easily handle any task. This knife isn't for everybody, just those that demand the best.
Wow! is my immediate and continued reaction to the Pack-1. It feels so good in one's hand that the balance and design integrity are obvious. I have owned and used a good variety of top knives designed for survival and camping and the Pack-1 Elite feels even better. There is a completeness to the Pack-1's design that I can't get enough of. I cannot wait to get this knife out in the woods.
I’ve completely set my typical edc blades aside and this now sits as my standard daily blade. Edge retention is amazing, the handles fit well in my hand even being a smaller frame. Over all I would recommend this knife to anyone! Super great quality, quick shipping, with impeccable customer service!
This is the real deal, multi application style fixed blade knife. I love supporting American and especially veteran owned businesses and you get more than your moneys worth here. I use this blade for just about everything. Carving small camping stakes with detailed notches, trimming down leak tops in the garden, batoning kindling, making quick work of some thick green brush as I go are just a few every day uses I get out of this blade. I spend a good amount of time outside and am always happy to have this blade on my belt. The kydex sheath is also high quality and I have gotten practical use out of the internal contents as well. Hopefully I never need any of it for a real deal survival situation but it’s great to know I can start fires, fish and treat water at least temporarily. I used the baddest bee fire starters from the blade compartment to light a burn pile that I was having trouble lighting in damp conditions. One little piece of that ignited a very substantial fire start and it was perfect in the damp conditions. It’s nice to really test not only the blade but the other elements you get as well. I highly recommend the MSK1 Elite.
the products are as advertised, and the ordering process could not be simplier. High value products at reasonable prices, if you walk in the woods, Hike, Camp, or travel the kits they offer and the survival tools are a must. I love the products.
An all around do all knife. This thing has the rigidity and strength to procure firewood or use to build a bushcraft shelter. And yet also has the finesse to handle more delicate projects such as cutting vegetables or making fire tender. I wouldn't be worried to take this on my next hunt and use it to field dress my kill. And all the while knowing: I have some "save my life" goodies in the handle. Great product! Keep it up!
