CRKT RSK Mk5

I've been looking for a small fixed blade knife for quite a while, something like 4-5" OAL for neck carry. I want a small one like the Breeden PSK Mini knife on GoingGear's site. However GoingGear's site is not working properly, it lists the product but when you add it to your cart it says "Sorry, the product was not found". Then, I remembered Doug Ritter's, so here it is.




It comes in an Altoids type tin can.


3.81" overall length, 1.75" blade length 3Cr13 hardened to 52-55 HRC, 0.21" thickness and weigh 0.78 oz.


I comes very sharp out of the box. It is small but very useful, can do a lot of task like opening letters, cutting cardboards, sharpening pencil and a good firesteel striker too. It can make stakes too but don't expect to build a shelter with it though. ;)


I plan to make a neck sheath for it instead of using the zytel sheath. I'd probably have a small firesteel on the neck sheath too. Why do I want a small knife? For one, so I can hang it on my neck and forget about it but it would be there when I need it. Nice every day carry knife.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
