Item: M.A.K.-1

Columbia River Knife & Tool is one of those companies that I've had almost no exposure to.  I've have heard a lot of great things about them.  But didn't know of any friends that had a knife from them.  One of the things that wowed me was the availability of the Allen Elishewitz designs.

Being that we going to be expading our reviews at the request of our readers, I got my grubby hands on an M.A.K. - 1. The M.A.K. 1  was designed by Firefighter, James McGowan.  First off, included literature.  THANK YOU!  You know, manufacturers...you work hard to put out a good products...why shortchange yourself and not include some literature?  It doesn't have to be written by Maya Angelou.  Just something that talks about your product.  The included papers consists of a mini catalog and a sheet of paper that talks about the M.A.K. -1.

Right of the bat, WOW...this thing ain't small nor light...EXACTLY what you'd expect from a serious work duty tool.   This measures 10" with 3" of that being blade.

The tail end has several features.  There's a tip for impact glass breaking.  The big notch at the bottom is used for more controlled glass breaking by way of twisting.  The deeper notch is an 8mm wrench notch which is the standard size of GM bettery bolts.
