MADE in the USA! Introducing PACK-1 Elite:

ALMOST GONE! Get Yours Today... Next Batch Arrival December 2023. 

Light in the hand, ready for any task, and always by your side, PACK-1 Elite was inspired by the Samurai Kaiken (self-defense dagger), Scandinavian Puukko (bushcraft blade) and David's MSK-1 Elite survival knife. (See MSK-1 vs. PACK-1 comparison below)

Imagine Your Perfect "Go To" Blade...

Following the fantastic success of David's MSK-1 knife - he started dreaming of an "everyman's knife" that retained the unique features, advantages and benefits of the MSK-1 but was more streamlined and attractive to a wider range of knife users interested in camping, bushcraft, prepping, self-defense and tactical applications.

So in 2017 David's key knife objectives went on the white board and he began a four-year process of sketching... laying it down... sketching more, and coming back months later.

Finally, one day it all came together. Just what he imagined. David then began prototyping and testing with the help of his USA manufacturing team. 

Sketches in hand... They NAILED It! "BAM!"

"The first prototype out of the gates that our team send me was EXACTLY what I imagined. We only had to make one or two very small tweaks," recounts David.

Next were the full production prototypes and final testing. 

The final prototypes performed so well that the decision was made to skip KICKSTARTER and risk of going right into manufacturing a limited number of first run of knives.

"A few months later, 200 BEAUTIFUL blades were delivered! Every single one perfect!", David remembers. 

So today, we are happy to introduce the last camping, survival, utility blade you may ever need - PACK-1 Knife.

INTRODUCING the PACK-1 Elite: Personal Adaptable Camp Knife!

Crafted from 3/16" (0.48cm) thick, 154cm stainless steel. This tough steel will retain a razor's-edge, repel rust, and is friendly to field sharpening.

Every PACK-1 Elite knife sports our (glare and abuse-repelling) proprietary graphite black Cerakote® finish, our new ErgoGRP™ handle design (with attractive battleship gray liners) and our ACS Elite™ five position black kydex sheath (that is capable of right or left: belt, scout or inverted carry and can be loaded with up add-ons like our MSK-1 firesteel and MSK-1 Mini knife).

Tiny Survival Knife & Tool Sharpener KIT 2.0 is Complete 4-IN-1 EDC Sharpening SYSTEM that You Can Carry EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME!

I've tested and reviewed hundreds of pieces of gear over the last decade to find the best stuff for my Ultimate Survival Tips YouTube subscribers.

in 2013 I started looking for an "easy to everyday carry" sharpening and stropping system that I could take everywhere, all the time.

No doubt, I found and reviewed a few great tools, but most of what I discovered were either gimmicks or totally impractical tools (that never made it far enough for me to review or recommend them). Regardless, none were professional grade AND small enough to comfortably fit in my pocket, let alone my wallet. 

So (like most of my other gear innovations) I decided to develop a low profile, light weight and pocketable EDC sharpening system - myself. 

In early 2019 I began designing and testing. Let me tell you, It wasn't easy.

In fact, I lost some money to swindlers who said they could make what I was looking for - but could not. And you guessed it. They never returned my money. 

Somewhat discouraged, I continued my pursuit anyway. I knew someone in the world could make this sharpening kit my way.

A year later I finally found a manufacturer who as able to make what I envisioned, and to the precision specifications that I required. 

So, after nearly four years (from start to finish), I'm very exited to announce the NEW 4-in-1 Tiny Knife and Tool Sharpener Kit.

You are going to love this compact, complete credit-card sized EDC sharpening system!

Introducing the Most Affordable MSK-1 Knife Ever...

All the MSK-1 "Magic" - For Half the Cash!

When we launched the MSK-1 Survival Knife in 2016, the response was incredible! MSK-1 quickly became the #1 Funded Survival Knife on Kickstarter. 

But David was still a bit disappointed (and so were many of you). Here's why...

They Said a Super Affordable MSK-1 Was "Impossible!"

You see, David's original vision was to design the most versatile, user-customizable, survival knife system ever imagined - at half the price of the MSK-1 Elite - so it would be within the reach of almost any budget.

David approached many manufacturers - but because of the complexity of the MSK-1 knife and his high standards, they all said that a 1/2 priced MSK-1 could not be done - especially without significant compromise.

David was not willing to trade quality and functionality for a cheaper knife. So he continued searching...

Success! A New MSK-1 Priced for Almost Any Budget

Road blocks were everywhere, but David never gave up his dream to create a high quality, budget priced "every-man's" MSK-1 for you. 

So, after nearly 4 years of persistence - and a full two years of prototyping - we are now proud to offer you the MSK-1 Primitive Survival Knife.

Made For Hard Use in Extreme Situations

Handcrafted in the wilds of Central America by blade masters that specialize in forging exceptional knives meant for hard daily use - MSK-1 Primitive is forged from the same tough, edge-retaining, 1075 high carbon steel that we use in our popular MSK-1 Black - MSK-1 Primitive  (at 0.22 inch thick) is a full one ounce lighter than MSK-1 Elite (at 0.25 inch thick) without any reduction in performance.

What you get is a lighter in the hand (and on the wallet) bushcraft blade, that is made for hard (all day) use in any situation.    

Clear coated with our tough, oxidation-repelling finish, MSK-1 Primitive is accented by our beautiful, rustic, hardwood handle grips.

Includes Our NEW 20-Item Micro Handle Survival Kit

Held in place by our exclusive, field removable, stainless steel bolt system (with bow drill divot), the handles are easily removed to store (and carry) our new Micro Survival Kit - Version 2 (that includes 20 essential survival items). 

This is What a "Simple" Leather Sheath Should Be... 

MSK-1 Primitive travels in our beautifully antiqued, multi-carry, leather sheath that is designed for left or right hand carry in a high (belt loop) or low (drop leg) loop carry configuration. This sheath also sports a "hidden" rear strap and pocket to carry extra gear, like our Tiny Survival Guide.

Design Your Ultimate Survival Knife Kit

MSK-1 Primitive is made to be customized and upgraded (by you) to serve your changing needs. It's easy to build out your ultimate survival knife system with our exclusive line of add-ons, sheaths, handles and kit accessories.

All the MSK-1 "Magic" - At Half the Price

Legendary Bladeness - Pushed Up A Notch or Two...

MSK-1 Elite 2.0: An All-in-One Survival Knife System. Crafted in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, USA. 

ALMOST GONE - Order Today...  NOTE: Next Batch Arrival December 2023. 

*Check Out Our - Ultimate Elite Knife Combo BUNDLES (Below)*

Inspired by the fantastic success of the original MSK-1 that was launched on Kickstarter in 2016 -  David started wondering if the MSK-1 (which he and Jeff Freeman so painstakingly designed and prototyped over a three year period) 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.

It's a Crazy Knife - That Takes a Unique Company to Make It

He met (and spoke with) company after company looking for that ONE master knife maker that was the right fit.

After many disappointments, false starts and setbacks, David said to his son (and business partner) Ben, "We really need to talk to Craig and Leo (their real names may or may not be protected for secrecy). I dunno if they would be interested, but they may be the only guys that might understand my vision for the MSK-1 and could help us make it even better."

The rest is now history. David and Ben did meet with Craig and Leo "secretly" at SHOT SHOW, "and to say, we all hit it off, is an understatement!", Ben remembers. 

How We Took MSK-1 to the Next Peak of Performance and Precision

"Craig and Leo blew us away!  They actually both smiled as they listened to me share my future vision and held the original MSK-1s in their hands", recounts David. 

Then David asked, "So, what do you guys think?" And what came next blew his mind. They both began to share innovative ideas on how to make the new generation of MSK-1 knives even better than the original - all while keeping the price in line. 

The choice was clear. And these men were ALL in. "We shook hands, and within just a few weeks I had beautiful prototypes of the new MSK-1 Elite, MSK-1 Mini Elite Neck Knife and MSK-1 Elite Warrior knives", David said with a smile. 

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:

• 20 Item Micro Survival Kit that Tucks Into the MSK-1 Handle, and is Easily
  Accessed in the Field By Removing Our Exclusive Slotted Bolts.
• Stainless Steel Bow Drill Divot (Bolt) to Make Improvised Friction Fire Much Easier.
• Full 1/4" Thick 154CM Stainless Steel, Full Tang, Razor Sharp Blade that's Designed for Hard Use in Extreme Situations. 
• Pommel End Fire Steel Striker that's Optimized to Aim a Shower of Blaze-Starting Sparks at Your Tinder.
