The CRKT Ritter RSK Mk5 Survival Knife is a backup knife built super-light and super-small for easy storage and transport, with the Doug Ritter philosophy that "if it isn't with you, it can't save you". The CRKT Ritter Survival Knife is not a knife you would use all day for normal work tasks. Compact and light enough to fit in almost any small personal survival kit or stash-away location, yet robust enough that it's a knife you can bet your life on, the CRKT RSK Mk5 Knife weighs in at less than an ounce, with a skeletonized fixed blade sporting a 1.75" wide-chord drop-point blade with a high flat grind. The high-carbon steel blade has Doug's preferred stonewashed finish for improved corrosion resistance. The ergonomic curved handle provides a secure and comfortable two-finger grip while a brightly colored nylon cord fob adds additional length and grip. Use the CRKT Ritter RSK Survival Knife to make fuzz sticks, construct shelter, gut a fish, dress game or for self-defense. Whether it is wilderness or urban survival, the CRK Mk5 Knife will do its part to keep you alive and kicking.

The knife includes a custom-fitted glass filled nylon sheath and a mint-size carrying tin along with Doug's suggestions for building up your own personal survival kit.
