Legendary Bladeness - Pushed Up A Notch or Two...
MSK-1 Elite 2.0: Crafted in the USA.
Inspired by the fantastic success of the original MSK-1 that was launched on Kickstarter in 2016 - David started wondering if the MSK-1 could be even better.
So, he began the search for a USA based, like-minded and visionary knife maker that could help him take the MSK-1 Survival Knife to the next level.
INTRODUCING the MSK-1 Elite 2.0 - Multi-Scenario Knife!
Crafted from full quarter-inch, 154cm stainless steel. This tough steel will retain
a razor's-edge, repel rust, and is field sharpening friendly.
Every MSK-1 Elite knife sports TOPS' famous, abuse-repelling finish, our new ErgoGRP™ handle design and our ACS Elite™ black kydex sheath.
You'll also enjoy all of signature life-saving, butt-kicking, work-stomping, wilderness-conquering features that are built into every MSK-1, like:
