Income from the sale of the RSKŪ Mk5 and my other RSKŪ knives and gear allow me to spend the majority of my time on Knife Rights' efforts to free knife owners from irrational knife restrictions. This has resulted in 33 bills enacted repealing knife bans in 23 states and over 100 cities and towns, eight anti-knife bills defeated and numerous litigation victories since 2010.

No plans at this time. Never know what'll happen. Hadn't expected to do the Mk5 again.

The Mk5 is a wonderful little blade! Hopefully the Mk6 will return; I have two of them but now I kick myself that I didn't pick up a few more. It's still pretty compact and a super handy blade.
