    HERE's MORE Info About the MSK-1 Multi-Scenario Knife:
    “If Things Went Really Bad in the World and You Could Only Have One Knife for the Rest of Your Life, Which Knife Would You Choose?”
    I get asked this question all the time…
    Over the years, I’ve used, tested, and reviewed hundreds of knives… but I've never found an all-in-one knife that could do everything I need for camping, backpacking, survival, tactical training, and general utility use wherever I go.
    So in 2014, I decided to develop a solution… I started sketching, integrating elements from blades I loved, along with innovations that had never been seen before in one knife.
    Let me introduce you to… MSK-1: Multi-Scenario Knife.
    The MSK-1 is much more than an innovative knife that’s big enough for any job, small enough for any kit, and tough enough for any situation. It’s a complete survival system that you’ll be able to use for your lifetime and then pass on to the next generation.
    Please Support this Project on Kickstarter: www.msk1knife.com/
    When the original MSK-1 sketches were created in early 2014, we made the decision NOT to compromise on materials or cut any corners. To me this meant the knife HAD to be designed and manufactured in the USA and made from the finest materials. I remember saying…
    “Dude, we’re gonna do this right or we’re not going to do it at all.”
    Now, I realize... at the end of the day… my relentless commitment to excellence means this knife is not going to fit every budget… I wish it did…
    But for those who support this project, the MSK-1 may be the single best outdoor gear investment you ever make.
    Please Support this Project on Kickstarter: tinyurl.com/MSK-1-Kickstarter
    MSK-1 SPECIFICATIONS:
    Full tang, fixed blade, fine edge
    Blade material: D2 high carbon, semi-stainless, tool steel
    Blade thickness: 0.25 inches (0.64 centimeters)
    Handle material: Canvas micarta
    Blade length: 4.6 inches (11.7 centimeter)
    Overall length: 11.3 inches (28.6 centimeter)
    Weight: 15.8 ounces (28.3 grams)
    Handle survival kit
    Switchback ACS 2-in-1 sheath system: Ballistic Nylon and Kydex
    Made in the USA with American Materials
    Lifetime Warranty
    We'll even sharpen and tune your MSK-1 (just send it to us).
    Please Support this Project on Kickstarter: www.msk1knife.com/
    THE OPPORTUNITY: I Need Your Help!
    As you can see… there’s innovation behind every detail of this knife… But all this adds up to more than a tough, versatile, all-purpose outdoor knife…
    The MSK-1 is a comprehensive survival knife system that’s designed to survive life’s worst, and help you enjoy life’s best.
    Now we need your help. Your contribution will enable us to complete our first production run… funding the custom tooling, material purchases and highly skilled craftsman required to build each knife.
    With your support, we’ll bring this one-of-a-kind, handcrafted, Made in the USA knife to you and to the world.
    And please share this campaign with your friends and family: tinyurl.com/MSK-1-Kickstarter
    THANK YOU for your encouragement and kind support!
    And remember, BE PREPARED… Because You Never Know.

      I'm sorry but this guy always seems to be an advertiser for junk. I am sure he made a good amount of money doing this but taking him serious, I think not. I don't know how he became so popular with survival stuff and would really be curious how he would actually do in an actual situation. I also think Gerber is garage as well, put this up there with the Bear Grylls line of knives. For that price range, I could build a complete survival kit.

  • @John-lr3ix
    @John-lr3ix 8 років тому +11

    Really nice knife. Love how many, yet useful and not just gimmicky features are included in it, like for example a survival kit in a full tang knife. Beside from that the overall design of the blade and the handle seems really thought-out as well. Finally someone made sure the extras don't get in the way of the main purpose of a knife.

    I think that you have a good product.
    Though personally, I have not own and won't ever consider to buy any knife beyond US$150.
    I love knife, but a knife is still just only a knife and I got a better place to use that money on ... my family.
    And about this knife, given the price, I'm sorry to say that I rather get something that is cheaper and spend the rest to learn new skills.
    Skills last forever, material do not, thank you.

    Really cool design, seems like the perfect balance between the BK2 and BK7, which are also really great knives. I really like the fire starting features and the overall look. It's also great that you make it in the U.S. These days everyone imports from China or Japan, it's nice to see you support your own economy.

    • @UltimateSurvivalTips
      @UltimateSurvivalTips  8 років тому +3

      +Brandon Monroe Wow Brandon. Thank you for the kind words. Good observations with regards to the BK2 and BK7. Some of my favorite knives and I love the hefty build... but I've had a rough go doing fine detail work with them. So, we designed the MSK-1 to have the heft but a bit more agility and versatility. Yes, as far as my convictions, I wanted the MSK-1 to be a legacy knife that would last a lifetime... making them here in the USA allow strict quality control and fantastic materials. Even our sheath are Made in the USA - they even have an American Flag sown into the back :) Have a great day! ~David

    • @omnitv8187
      @omnitv8187 8 років тому +2

      +Ultimate Survival Tips Thanks for replying and I wish you the best of luck and success with this knife. I'm 14 year old starting bushcraft/prepping from Quebec, so the knife is a bit out of my budget.. Haha. Us viewers from Canada will have a bit more trouble buying the knife with the whole weak currency and shipping ordeal. Where I live there is a 15 percent tax and it may cost close to half a grand for someone in Quebec to buy the knife. Anyways, good luck, and keep spreading the importance of being prepared. It would also be pretty cool if you did knife showcases in Canadian cities such as Montreal, Ontario, and Vancouver to expand the reach of this market to us viewers/survival enthusiasts up north. Anyways, thanks for the awesome content David, you are the survival UA-cam channel that inspired be to start being prepared.

    I received my MSK1 Ultimate bundle a few weeks ago and was out using it yesterday, I have to say i am really enjoying the purchase. I was able to hack at a tree without breaking a sweat and not hurting myself. I can not wait to see what other products you come out with by the end of the year, My wife would liek to have one but we are waiting for the smaller MSK1 to come out as the one that is out now is too big and heavy for her to use. The Knife was spot on and cant wait to see what else i can pick up from you to make it easyer in the bush when we go camping. GOOD JOB AND KEEP'EM COMMING.

    • @UltimateSurvivalTips
      @UltimateSurvivalTips  8 років тому +5

      +Wisconsin Northwoods Understood. I know several folks are disappointed at the price point. (OH... and before I go on, the Kickstarter Early Bird is $279... sheaths and shells can be added later)... But original goal was around $150... that disappeared as I got quotes from US manufacturers and continued to innovate and decide to make this a legacy knife unlike any other... with no compromises. I'm working on an itemization that may help folks at least understand what it takes to make a knife like this - with premium materials, handcrafted in the USA. I think some will be surprised to find how low our margins really are. This will not help folks who simply don't have the money get one, or relieve the disappointment, but may help them understand what it truly takes to handcrafted a quality knife like this in the USA. I am thankful that you like the knife though. And wish that it fit your budget. I am confident that you would not be disappointed. For now... thank you for your encouragement and support of our channel and all! Have a great day brother! ~David

    • @RogerF

      +Ultimate Survival Tips Thank you for that reply and explanation. It does aide to ease some of my disappointment.

I look forward to the many youtube reviews of your knife. Who knows, hopefully by then I'll have saved enough pennies to purchase one for myself.

      @senatorjosephmccarthy2720 7 років тому

      Ultimate Survival Tips + Made In America has gotten out of ballance compared to the average worker's income, because of the growing division in incomes. In the 90s I designed and built a prototype of a good climbing tree stand. The cost to fabricate them was the same as where the selling point needed to be. That before liability insurance, packaging, shipping, retailer fair profit. And without that last factor, sales are a fraction of possible, keeping the price up. The United States people had better get back to seeing what the Creator has to say.

  • @preparedmind101
    @preparedmind101 8 років тому +23

    As far as a "SURVIVAL KNIFE" goes, I think you did a pretty good job. Testing countless knives DOES make it easier to know what will work and what won't when you design your own. The geometery looks good. Jess-X is proof that a stout body with a low saber works, so this should baton great. Centerline point...check. Final sheath included: Check. Price makes sense to me. A Jessmuk with a Yellow Hawk kydex rig is going to end up about the same price. I think some people process the price differently when it's not all in one. Easier to justify than if you actually add up the price of the custom knife you want, PLUS the custom sheath with all the bells and whistles all at once. If one is being honest, the price is fair given what you get.

    Very nice system. A lot of thought clearly went into it. When you calculate everything I see there, and made in the USA, the price doesn't seem outrageous at all. Seems about what I'd expect. I haven't designed an actual "survival knife" yet. I'd be hard pressed to do better.

      +mark marion He's done more research than 99% of youtubers. $450 is a bit pricey, but I agree with OP that it isn't 'outrageous'. I agree with you though, that I'd take the GSO in CPM3V over it. You could always get a $7k knife in D2, because they exist. $450 just doesn't seem like crazy money if you're already dumping a couple hundred or so. Fixed blade wise, I've never spent more than $207.

    • @happywheels404
      @happywheels404 8 років тому +2

      +SREagle Yeah i get it this knife will do it all and so will other knives that don't cost as much. So you want a good chopper get a Jessica-X, so you want a tactical knife get a Gerber Strongarm, or you want something small compact and can withstand it all then get a mora. Yeah this is his "ideal" knife but for people that dont want to spend 300$-400$, and if you do want to spend all that money why not get a Mora,Bk9 and Strongarm and still have money left over to get another knife. I bet people will still buy this knife but for the money and im also sure people won't buy this knife because either its too cheesy and it has a few limitations. But hey thats my opinion.

    • @UltimateSurvivalTips
      @UltimateSurvivalTips  8 років тому +2

      Thanks for the comment. For sure, MSK-1 is NOT for everyone. Be it the price point, the look, feel, your style, or the desired or intended use of the owner... etc. that's why there are literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of knife designs out there. For functionality MSK-1 does a very wide range of things well. It can do ALMOST anything, but like every knife has limitations. Like it's not a very good machete... like a longer blade would be. It's a GREAT chopper, but no match for an axe... It's not as good at wood carving as a small carving knife (but it can carve)... You can filet a fish with it, but it's not going to perform as well as a specialized filet knife. Like Chris's mentioned... Jessica-X is a fantastic blade... just a different catagory of blade, designed for a different purpose. I hope this helps. Good debate! ~David

      the Ultimate Bug Out Bag Survival Knife YOU SAY,
      Camping, Hunting, Bushcraft, Prepping, Tactical, Emergency Kits and Bug Out Bags YOU SAY
      These are very BOLD Statements,
      1. Camping "Maybe I personally wouldn't use it for camping" but maybe some would just not seeing it.
      2. Hunting "I really do not thing so, not sure what kinda hunting your talking about Not a Skinner"
      3. Bushcraft "Come on be Real"
      4. Prepping "Perhaps again wouldn't be on my list"
      5. Tactical "NO FRIGGING WAY sorry but cut me a break, to heavy I could go on and on"
      6. Emergency Kits "Possible but there is the weight issue"
      7. Bug Out Bags "Maybe for some Definitely not for me"
      8. the Best All-Purpose Survival Knife for Any Situation "No way, WOW now that's a Bold Statement"

    David, it's hard to say as basically all your vids say every knife is so great but if you really are a true outdoors person then you will know that one knife can not do everything, even in a survival situation situation that requires the use of a blade and it is very dependent on the environment you happen to be stuck in, Or even if you aren't in a survival situation. If it's made fully in the USA from all USA made raw materials then ok the price will be high due to higher labour costs (that's ok) but now i notice that made in the USA can now mean simple "assembled in the USA with either foreign raw materials and locally sourced home grown stuff. As for the D2, working near the salt water would require constant washing AND drying of the cord wrapped handle. Even with my old Strider MFS originally made with ATS34 rusted up on the tang if I got it near the salt water (all coastal applications) and really required the cord to be removed and thoroughly washed down in fresh water. But it's still ok. But I've got to say that MFS is a real workhorse too.

      Ron Banks
      The rock he's using (albeit a soft one) is just a visual cue that the pommel is durable and aggressively designed. You'd be more likely to crush black walnuts (harder than the rock he used) or drive stakes, etc.
      It is feasible to reduce a rocks size if using it with a fire pit in some way, I could think of a few reasons... BUT the point of the demo is that you CAN, not that you'd need or even want to.
      The world is obsessed with negative, over-thinking about a anything they see these days. Advertising is full of nonsensical things. In the words of the immortal one... "Don't wory... Beee happy." LOL

    • @1911BIGDOG

      Like I said, Ron. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. It just shows it off and looks cool on a video and gives the "ooh" factor. Better to crush walnuts or a car window than a rock. :)

    how can anyone say D2 is a tough or unstoppable steel? False. Even done right and getting the most potential out of it doesn't even pit it in the top 10 survival steels. It is less tough than A2 even. it has decent wear resistance and stain resistance and that's about all. It is brittle and prone to chipping. Its lateral strength is poor. "D2" and the word "tough" should never be used in the same sentence. Im nearly stating fact. Show me real world data that proves me wrong. Charpy C tests even? Something. You can't cause there is none. 👍 There no reason to have an edge geometry like that either. Looks like a 25 DPS edge. if it were truly tough the primary grind would be at a sharper angle and so would the secondary.

      +Justin Davis Hi Justin. I really appreciate your comment. Much has to do with heat treat. Just so you know but there are quite a few metallurgical charts online that would counter your views. FYI... the knife used in most of the pounding, batoning, chopping etc... (basically the hard use) shots in the MSK-1 video is NOT a brand new knife... It's my personal MSK-1 that I have had since this time last year... I have beat the crap out of this thing, never put it on a stone to sharpen it... run it one time in a year (10x on each side of the blade) on a SUPER Fine mesh ceramic rod (just because) and ONLY have stropped otherwise... Once or twice a week with Yellowstone compound worked into my homemade leather strop and it still shaves the hair off the back of my arm. But thank you for your comment. I REALLY appreciate it. Have a great day brother! ~David

    Surprised at some of the comments on here, $325 might be a lot, but we are talking about a hand made, USA sourced steel knife. There are plenty of knives that cost way more money, my Murray Carter neck knife is 50% more than that one is worth, and is half the size. As long as its made well, and (in my opinion) has a good warranty - its worth what it costs. People complain about no jobs, and poorly made products overseas, then when they're made in North America, complain they're too expensive, typical.
