Doug Ritter's RSK Mk5, also known as the Ritter Survival Knife, is not your everyday knife for regular tasks. However, it is designed with the belief that having a knife on hand is crucial for your safety. It is compact and lightweight, making it easy to fit into any small survival kit or stash-away spot. Despite its size, it is a reliable knife that you can trust with your life. Weighing less than an ounce, this knife features a skeletonized fixed blade with a 1.75" wide-chord drop-point design and a high flat grind. The blade is made of high-carbon steel and has a stonewashed finish, providing excellent resistance against corrosion. The handle is ergonomically curved, offering a secure and comfortable grip for two fingers. Additionally, a brightly colored nylon cord fob adds extra length and grip. This versatile knife can be used for various purposes such as making fuzz sticks, building shelters, gutting fish, dressing game, or even for self-defense. Whether you find yourself in the wilderness or an urban survival situation, the Mk5 will play its part in keeping you alive and well. It comes with a custom-fitted Kydex® sheath and a small carrying tin, along with Doug's recommendations for building your own personal survival kit. Doug Ritter, the founder of the Equipped To Survive website, is an internationally recognized authority on survival equipment. The RSK Mk5 is a collaborative effort based on the custom Shrewd Survival Knife created by Georgia knifemaker David White, which itself was the result of collaboration with Dr. Andrew Osbourne.
