things weren't really bad in the world and you could only have one night for the rest of your life which night would you choose so founder of ultimate survival tips I could ask that question all the time over the years I've tested and reviewed hundreds of knives but I never found that one night I could do everything I wanted so on early 2014 I started sketching integrating elements from blades I loved along with features that had never been seen before in one knife like a micro survival kit in a handle a two-in-one switchable nylon and Kydex sheath that's packed with features and a rugged knife built for tough jobs with the finesse of a fine carving tool it's called the MS k1 multi scenario knife to build a knife like this I knew I needed help so I teamed up with knife legend Jeff Freeman the award-winning designer many iconic gerber knives like the oh six Auto the LMF 2 survival knife we tossed around some ideas and you know he sent me some sketches for things that he wanted you know and we just developed it from there we said ok well let's let's make a product together and so he was able to tell me the things as a product designer did this product should do and I was able to come up with solutions present them to him and he could test him in a real-world scenario every msk one is fashioned from a single piece of quarter-inch full-tang steel that runs from piercing tip to rock crushing but making it one of the thickest most durable blades you can buy for the msk one we chose american-made black oxide coated d2 semi's stainless high carbon steel because it's ridiculously tough extremely wear resistant holds a razor-sharp edge the center-aligned clip point is exceptional for piercing detailed tip carving or precision drilling when I conceptualize the msk one one of my major goals was to create a knife combine the power of a full sized chopper with a finesse and fine cutting ability found mostly in smaller blades we accomplished this by raising the blade spine which effectively shifts the center of gravity forward just enough to make the msk 1 an incredible chopper while the jump thumb ramp increases knife control and directs thumb pressure toward the edge making every cut precise and efficient for more intricate cutting and carving tasks the oversized Choi allows you to safely grip the knife fraction of an inch from the blade for incredible control for handling comfort and grip Jeff started with advanced economics software to ensure that the MS k1 handle was shaped to perfectly fit the human hand we chose canvas micarta handle slabs because of their durability natural feel shock absorption and comfort and cold and wet environments front and rear guards keep your hand in place while cutting chopping pounding smashing or breaking things using the MS k1 stout butt end pummel mark was this fire symbol our curved pummel and fire steel striker gives you maximum leverage and the ability to generate an aim more sparks at your tinder than a straight edge for quicker more efficient fire starting for primitive fire generation we've developed the first ever Center balanced stainless steel bow drill divot it transforms your knife into a solid low resistance hands that's reversible for right and left-handed users with the handle slabs removed three strategically placed lanyard holes make it easy to add your favorite paracord wrap or lash the msk one to a branch to make a spear I remember when I was a kid and I got my first survival knife with a hollow handle and a survival kit inside I felt like Rambo even though the knife was terrible in the survival kit mostly a gimmick so my goal was to develop the first truly useful handle survival kit including hard to improvised items that could actually help you stay alive in a survival situation to do this I worked with the team at was ooh survival gear to develop a micro survival kit for the msk one that includes items for fire starting water collection and purification fishing traps and snares navigation repairing gear and first-aid the best survival kit is the one you wouldn't think of entering to the untamed world without its small compact easy to use

said you need to get the fundamentals right fun wears off cool wears off useful never wears off you you you when we're rolling down the highway of our lives what is it we want people to see a rebel a trendsetter a man of wealth and taste there's a funny old saying from Mark Twain that goes clothes make the man naked people have little or no influence in society but sometimes designers come along who are the rebels they remind us that above all else we just want something that can be used the world is getting smaller and more of us are traveling to distant and remote places when we travel one of our biggest challenges is how to guarantee that the water we are drinking is safe there are currently dozens of personal water filters and filter bottles on the market that claim to solve this issue the problem is that water filters only trap bacteria insists that then remain in the filter and continue to live and multiply this can add up to a major health concern in addition water filters do not eliminate or even trap waterborne viruses that are really the biggest concern of all to be truly protected from bacteria and viruses water must be purified not just filter meat pure to go the most advanced unique and multifunctional true water purifier in the world computer go kills bacteria and viruses instantly on contact and on demand while also completely eliminating waterborne cysts such as crypto and Giardia there is absolutely no waiting time or preparation required as contaminated water passes through peer to go it is purified instantly without the holding timer procedures other true water purifiers require here to go can be used by one person or multiple users with cleanable and replaceable insert cartridges it can be used over and over again for many years and more importantly it can be stored for long periods without the same danger posed by filters how do we come up with this design over nearly half a century water one has provided ultra pure water to Science and Industry and premium bottled drinking water to customers throughout the world an industry innovator we developed a proprietary water purification mediafire robach that kills bacteria and viruses
