CR-2050 CRKT McGowan M.A.K.-1 (Multiple Access Knife)
Introducing the CRKT E.R. models by Jack McGowan:
Unique knives designed by a firefighter especially for firefighters,
EMTs, and highway patrol officers.
Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) announces a new line of specialized knives designed for emergency rescue for firefighters, EMTs, and highway patrol officers and volunteer rescuers.
Our new MAK-1™ (Multiple Access Knife) and Extrik-8-R™ (Seat Belt Cutter and Multi-Tool) were created by James McGowan, who is a professional firefighter in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Due to his career in one of Canada’s busiest fire halls and his passion for the outdoors, he started making “hard-working knives” and joined the Canadian Knifemakers’ Guild in 1998. Drawing from his extensive real-life fire and rescue experiences, he has designed the CRKT production MAK-1™ and Extrik-8-R™ emergency rescue tools, based on the day-to-day needs of the professional firefighter, EMT, and rescue volunteer.
The MAK-1™ (Multiple Access Knife) is a rescue knife designed to meet the needs of a firefighter, made of tough 3Cr13 stainless steel. It is truly a multiple-use tool. The chisel pry-bar tip is designed for opening doors, windows, and prying open locks and hasps. The 3.0” Razor-Sharp knife edge is a useful cutting tool. The handle features a deep finger choil and textured black G10 scales to give an excellent grip in wet conditions and when wearing gloves. The end of the handle has a stepped groove which can be used as a window glass twist breaker and battery wrench. At the butt is a carbide tip breaker for instant shattering of window panes. An orange reflector lanyard is designed to keep the MAK-1.
It comes complete with a Cordura® sheath which will hold a shove knife and an Extrik-8-R™ tool.
