M.A.K.-1/Extrik-8-R PR

designed for emergency rescue for firefighters, EMTs, and highway patrol officers and

volunteer rescuers has been so well accepted by these committed people.

James McGowan is a professional firefighter in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Due to 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 M.A.K.-1™ and Extrik-8-R™ emergency rescue tools,

based on the day-to-day needs of professional firefighters, rescue workers, EMTs, police

Special Response Teams, and military operators.

The M.A.K.-1™ (Multiple Access Knife) is a rescue and rapid entry knife, made of tough

3Cr13 stainless steel. It has a blunt chisel pry-bar tip for opening doors and windows and a

Razor-Sharp knife edge suitable for heavy cutting or hacking tasks. The heavily textured and

grooved G10 scales offer an aggressive grip and allow control when wearing gloves. They can

be removed for cleaning.

The M.A.K.-1 gives two window-breaking options. A twist breaker groove allows

controlled breaking of automobile side windows, while a carbide tip butt breaker allows

smashing of building windows or automotive back glass. An 8 mm groove functions as a

wrench for disconnecting GM-style side terminal batteries. A reflective orange paracord

lanyard is included. The satin finish M.A.K.-1 2050 comes complete with a custom Cordura®

sheath which will hold a shove knife and an Extrik-8-R™ tool. The M.A.K.-1 Tactical 2050K

is a special model in nonreflective black finish with a black lanyard and a custom

multi-function Kydex® sheath.

The Extrik-8-R™ is a lightweight seat belt cutter and multi-tool. It has finger holes and grip

grooves allowing use even with the heaviest gloves. It also has a rectangular relief which is

sized to be an oxygen bottle wrench. James has added a simple blade screwdriver tip to one

end, and Phillips screwdriver tip to the other end. The Extrik-8-R also has a hand-tied

reflective orange paracord fob. It is available in satin and nonreflective black finishes.

A fitted Kydex® sheath is included which allows easy carry on belts or webbing.

The M.A.K.-1™ System includes the M.A.K.-1 2050 tool, Cordura Sheath, and a satin

finish Extrik-8-R™. It makes the perfect rescue combination for anyone responding to an

emergency scene.
