The Doug Ritter RSK® Mk5 is back! Get it from your favorite knife retailer! The RSK® Mk5 is compact and light enough to fit in almost any small personal survival kit or stash-away location, or to carry as a neck knife, yet robust enough that it's a knife you can bet your life on™.

Available in Stonewashed or Black with a Glass-Reinforced Nylon Sheath. Comes packed in its own bright orange Survival Preparedness Tin (same size as an Altoids tin). Includes instructions to assemble your own survival tin kit. Manufactured for Blue Ridge Knives, the world's largest knife distributor, in the same factory as the CRKT original. MSRP is now only $15.95.

Income from the sale of the RSK® Mk5 and my other RSK® 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.
