MSK-1 Knife Launch Date SET + Podcast Reboot
MSK-1 Elite (Gen. 3) Kickstarter / Pre-Order Launch 🚀
MSK-1 is back, the podcast is back, and the Tiny Guide Trilogy is finally complete — 2026 is shaping up to be a wild ride.
Here’s what’s coming and how to make sure you don’t miss out.
MSK-1 Gen. 3 Pre-Order Launch
The MSK-1 Elite Gen. 3 is coming as a special 10-Year Anniversary Edition of the knife first launched in 2016 — think “legendary survival knife, level-up edition.” Interest has been so strong that instead of going through Kickstarter this time, pre-orders are coming straight to you, our inner circle.
Because this is a family-run operation and MSK-1s are crafted in small batches, have lots of accessories and each comes with the new Gen.3 handle survival kit (that we hand assemble), we’re limiting the run to roughly 600–1,000 knives to keep quality sky-high and logistics sane.
Once we hit that cap, pre-orders close and the doors are locked.
How to Get First Dibs
Here’s the simple game plan so you don’t miss out:
-
Sign up for MSK-1 Alerts
Make sure you’re on our email list — use the pop-up on the home page or the E-Mag signup at the bottom of the site. That’s where launch dates, sneak peeks, and links will drop first. -
Watch for the January Survey
In January, you’ll get a short survey asking which MSK-1 version, sheaths, and kit items you’re most interested in. This helps dial in exactly what you want us to build instead of guessing from the bunker. -
Pre-Orders Open: January 12th or 19th, 2026
On one of those two dates (we’ll confirm by email), Gen. 3 pre-orders go live. You’ll get previews beforehand so you can start planning your dream kit and warming up your credit card. -
How Pre-Orders Work
When pre-orders open, you’ll choose your knife kit (or kits) and place a small $5 deposit to reserve your spot. Once we hit our production goal, your card will be charged for the full kit total, and pre-orders will close. With well over 1,000 people on the waitlist and only 600–1,000 knives, there’s a real chance these go fast. -
Why the Limits?
This isn’t the first big MSK-1 launch — and experience has taught that a small family business plus a massive knife drop can get spicy in a hurry.
Your 24-Hour Head Start
As a subscriber and MSK-1 insider, you get the first 24 hours of access to pre-orders before they’re announced to 450,000+ YouTube followers. If we hit the goal in that first day, the wider world may never even see the “open” sign. Set a reminder, mark your calendar, and be ready.
Bottom line: if you want a Gen. 3 MSK-1 Anniversary Edition, that first 24 hours is your best shot.
The Survival Show Podcast Reboot
The Survival Show Podcast is back with a new format: short, daily 5–7 minute episodes designed to help you quietly and consistently stack preps and build a “no-fear” survival shield around the people you love. You get one simple, actionable idea per episode — something you can actually do today, not just think about.
Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen so you don’t miss an episode when life gets crazy.
After nearly eight years, the Tiny Guide Trilogy is finally complete with the new Tiny Disaster Guide. It’s built to help you prepare for everyday and not-so-everyday disasters and pairs perfectly with the Tiny Survival and Tiny First Aid Guides you may already know and use.
The guide just dropped for Christmas and a crowdfunding campaign for it in Q1 of 2026 to wide world. If you don't know what you'd do if the grid goes down while you sleep and doesn't come back on... this guide's for you.
What’s Coming Next
- Daily episodes of the Survival Show Podcast are out ✅
- The new Tiny Disaster Guide, completing the Tiny Guide Trilogy - launched ✅
- The long-awaited MSK-1 Legacy Elite / Gen. 3 Anniversary launch in January 2026
Thank you for your patience, encouragement, and support as this small family business keeps working to build gear and resources that genuinely serve you.
Let’s get prepped — together.
Talk soon,
David
