MSK-1 Knife: July 2025 Update

MSK-1 Knife: July 2025 Update
After more than a two years of design, prototyping, and exploring the best manufacturing options, I’m excited to let you know that we will soon be relaunching the MKS-1 family of knives that are tougher and lighter than ever before.
And "yes!" you will still be able to get your MSK-1 with a full 1/4" thick blade.
Here’s What’s Coming:
  • Pre-orders (or possibly a Kickstarter or two) will open in Q4 2025 for our full-sized MSK-1, Warrior, and PACK-1 knives. Note: This is a goal as we are waiting for one more final prototype.
  • We’re introducing new MSK-1 and Warrior models that are 25% lighter, even more versatile, made of better steel and are even easier to use. 
  • Made from Sandvik 14C28N these blade are incredibly tough, hold a fantastic edge and have high resistance to corrosion. At nearly 4 ounces lighter, they feel almost weightless in the hand. You are going to love this knife!
Our Made in the USA Plan
Making the MSK-1 exclusively in America has always been my vision. However geopolitics and squeezed manufacturing and supply chains, with significantly higher costs, have made this a real challenge over the past few years.
Elite-Class Knives - for Less
Our next round of MSK-1s will be made for us by the same (non-USA) manufacturing partner company that currently makes our X MSK-1 Mini EDGE X knives - check out the reviews. 
The Bottom Line
You'll get the best MKS-1 knives we've ever offered at a significant savings vs. the USA MSK-1 Elite line. 
USA-Made Coming in 2026?
Now, with a 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse close by - our goal is to begin making MSK-1 Elite fixed blade in-house sometime in 2026.

That’s all for now—stay tuned for more exciting updates!
