Multiple Access Knives

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'M.A.K.-1' is a Handy Knife to Have in Any Situation

— August 8, 2013 — Art & Design
When it comes to emergency situations it's incredibly important to have a handy knife to use as needed. The 'M.A.K.-1' by Columbia River is a multi-functional rescue and rapid entry knife that will become one of the most valuable tools at your disposal during an emergency.

The razor-sharp knife comes with heavily textured G10 scales on the handle that allow for a good grip that won't let you down in your time of need, even if you're wearing slippery gloves. This handy knife can be used as both an emergency tool, or even as a military or police tool that could end up saving lives. With two window breaking options, the knife would also be great for firemen that need to immediately get into a blazing house.
