MSK-1 Elite X: One Knife, One Sheath, Any Adventure
Ten years of hard use in the field taught us what to keep and what to cut. The Elite X is the result: 25% lighter and tougher, a field-proven survival knife that wears like EDC.
It chops, splits, carves and helps you make fire, while the 21-item micro survival kit hides in the handle.
The Elite X replaces the MSK-1 Elite, Black Tactical and Primitive. It's in production now, and only a limited number of pre-orders are available. When they're gone, they're gone.

“A well-designed knife disappears in your grip and shows up in your results.” — David
