About MK Knives & Tools
Knifemaker Marcin Kampka does not recognize compromises. Each of its products is planned down to the smallest detail, each project, especially the custom one have individual features. Each knife is detaily and clean finished (grinds, chamfering, etc). All screws – even the smallest ones – are gently chamfered to remove angular finishes. Each knife is treated as a separate whole and the holster is treated the same way. One fits the other, the patterns on the holster are consistent with those on the handle, etc. Mirroring every MK Knives & Tools knife we see not only the product, but we “feel” the hours spent in the workshop. When we buy Marcin Kampka’s product, we buy many hours of his work. We can be sure that the knife has been polished to the smallest detail.

About Scout knife in general
Scout knife is made of various types of steel (Elmax, Vanadis 4 Extra, Vanadis 23), with different blade finishes (PVD coating, DLC coating, stonewash, satin, glassblasting). The handle is usually made of G10 composite (or micarta etc.), with a variety of colors and a variety of original patterns, including those created by filling the designed cavities with resin in a color also selected by the knifemaker. For each model, the knifemaker creates an appropriate kydex holster, the colors of which (holster and accessories) correspond to the colors of the blade and the handle so that the whole is a coherent set.
About presented execution of Scout knife
Premium steel as a core of the knife construction
Presented Scout knife is made of one piece of Vanadis 4 Extra steel. It is a full-tang knife with a handle scales attached to a steel body that runs along the entire length of the knife. The steel used in the knife is an extremely durable material, very hard, resistant to overload, abrasion and chipping. The knife has been coated with a black titanium PVD coating which additionally strengthens the steel and improves anti-corrosion properties. The coating has anti-reflective properties, which makes the knife suitable for tactical use.
Scout knife dimensions
The dimensions of Scout knife indicate that it is intended for everyday use. The whole with a length of 203 mm and a discreet 85 mm blade will work well when preparing a meal, opening a carton or planning a piece of wood. The compact size of the knife itself, as well as the whole with a holster, will allow you to move freely and inconspicuously from place to place, will not restrict movement, etc.
Grind and blade shape for efficnet cutting
Presented Scout knife was made was made with innovative hollow grind. It is visible at first glance in the form of characteristic grooves on both the real blade and the false blade. The concavity of the grind is very subtle and, in addition to the visual effect, it is designed to support the cutting process (it reduces the effect of the material sticking to the blade and facilitates splitting of the material).
There is a jimpig on the blade spine, which makes it easier to press the blade of the knife to the material being cut. This element enables precise cuts, makes it easier to guide the cutting edge along the material and helps with cuts that require pressure.
Knife handle
The shape and design of the handle
Slender, neat oval of the handle fits very well and lies firmly in the hand. Its gentle profiling helps to prevent the hand from slipping onto the cutting edge. The rounded spine protruding from each side of the handle makes the knife comfortable and secure.
Handle materials
The handle linings are made of micarta and G10 composite. Both materials are resistant to moisture, temperature changes, most solvents and acids, and has high resistance to mechanical damage. In the presented knife, the cover material has a rough pattern that prevents the handle from slipping in the hand. The handle covers have been screwed with steel screws, the finish is consistent with the design of the blade.
Kydex holster and various carrying options
The knife has a holster made of hand-formed kydex material, which is characterized by high impact and scratch resistance, characterized by low moisture absorption, resistant to various weather conditions and many chemicals.
The holster can be carried in several ways. We attach it to the belt with a webbing grommet made of durable nylon. Mounting on a belt, but also on MOLLE solutions is ensured by an optional Kydex buckle added to the set*. The holster is equipped with through holes that can be used optionally to attach the set to a backpack or a tactical harness element with a rope, string or paracord. Of course, you can use a supply of paracord with which the holster is wrapped (its color corresponds to the section next to the knife).
* The buckle designed by the knifemaker is compatible with MOLLE solutions. The cbuckle is installed by disassembling the module with the nylon grommet beforehand.
