MSK-1 Mini EDGE "Quick Start" Guide and Videos
FAQ:
Where is the MSK-1 Mini EDGE X made?
After an extensive USA and global search, we selected a manufacturer renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, uncompromising quality, and ability to deliver on promised dates.
Do to their exceptional skill, attention to detail and advanced manufacturing processes, this manufacturer allows us to offer you this exceptional knife, that is every bit as good as a custom-made knife system, yet at a fair and competitive price point, without compromise.
While we are passionate about manufacturing in the USA, recent geopolitical and national policy changes have made it challenging to do so. Also there are VERY few companies who have the capabilities to manufacture knives as technically complex as the MSK-1 line.
However, we have a dream of establishing a knife and tool-making shop in Northern Pennsylvania, depending on the success of this - upcoming - Kickstarter campaigns and customer support. See "The Dream" portion of our Kickstarter Campaign Story for more.
Rest assured, our manufacturing partner in Yangjiang has proven to be extraordinarily detail oriented, capable and competent, exceeding our expectations in every way.
We will continue to manufacture our MSK-1 ELITE line of knives in the USA, albeit with much longer wait / production times and at much higher costs.
However, by supporting this campaign, you're not only getting an incredible, innovative knife built for a lifetime of use - but you are also contributing to our vision to do our part to return manufacturing to the USA.
We're excited for you to experience the exceptional quality of our MSK-1 Mini EDGE knife and the rest of the MSK-1 X (Gen2) lineup.
I hate reviews as much as you so listen up: I absolutely love the quirky little company that this guy has created. The cards are fun to mess with and I highly suggest buying a bunch. However, when I got my mini edge X, I immediately ordered a second one within an hour. Do with that what you will.
Dave's team is second to none.. they helped me get my knife back to work ... thank you so much
I now have 7 of these extraordinary MSK mini knives from different generations of production. My wife carries her’s in her purse. I have one on my person all the time. The rest are spread out in our home bags, our bug out bags and attached to the MSK-1 knife attached my immediate action rig. I have several other knives and gear from UST. Knives are top notch. They have replaced most of my usually preferred knives for all of my kits. This new generation of the MSK mini X knives has proven to be just as robust as the past generations. I don’t use my larger knives as much as in the past but I’m using my mini throughout the day on a daily basis. It is small enough to replace my pocket knife but tough enough with sufficient blade length to also replace my sheath knife as well which helps to lighten my, on person, EDC carry and provide me with extra survival gear the other knives did not. This is one very well thought out knife like most offerings from UST. If you’re on the fence about one of these knives, do yourself a favor and get one, you wont regret your purchase once you get it in your hand!!!
I carry a first generation MSK-1 Mini every day, it is the best and toughest small fixed blade knife I have used in 40+ years. I recently bought two of the new Mini EDGE X knives and was very happy to find out that, even though not made in the US, the quality is every bit as good as the first generation knife, and is also made with D2 steel, my personal favorite and in my experience, nearly indestructible. This knife is easily field sharpened and comes with an improved Kydex sheath. The knife locks positively into the sheath in any position. I have several other knives and products from UST, and not surprisingly David and his team did not disappoint. I have spent a lot of time living and working in the woods in the Midwest using a knife everyday since the 1980s, I would recommend the UST Mini EDGE X to anyone requiring a knife that performs in adverse conditions and is comfortable to use. Thanks again.
Love the knive easy to conceal and what I like bout the belt clip I can configured vertical or horizontal 🤙🏼

Customer Reviews
I love the MSK-1 Mini EDGE. That's why I have two...with three sheaths. Leather handle with leather sheath and a black handle with black Kydex Handle lock sheath. The configurability of the Kydex sheath allows all kinds of possible carries. My favorite is clipped to my belt at my back with the handle angled down and to my right. This Kydex is easier to clip on and take off when behind where I can't see it because it's easy to operate the release. The leather sheath is going to be my first neck sheath. I am going to try it out soon. 👍
Upgraded my mks1 mini edge sheath, from original leather to the multi position sheath. Wanted more carry options, and this sheath does just that. Extremely well made, and excellent customer service and shipping.
I'm very pleased with the new sheath and handle scales for my mini. I purchased the MSK-1 Elite back when TOPS was making them for you. I purchased the Mini as soon as it was back in stock. I love both knives and am very glad that the Mini now has scales for it. I carry the mini now as my edc instead of my ESEE Izula II. I'll be carrying the Elite more as soon as I make a new pancake kydex sheath for it. Thank you for the impressive blades.
Sincerely,
Jeb Kerzman
I'm loving my knives but I wish they were just a bit larger.
