Overview
"MPK-TI (NSN 1386-01-417-1263) was originally designed to meet the requirements of the US Navy Seals and Marine Corp Recon Units. The MPK12-Ti has a 7.125" blade that is good for all military and law enforcement missions, yet the MPK12 is 40% lighter than comparable steel knives. Whether you are the EOD person working in sand, a recon scout in a desert warfare situation, or a mountain unit working in the frozen tundra, the MPK's titanium construction will not break even in subzero temperatures. It is also excellent for seaborne and humid environment operations since titanium will not rust or corrode. The titanium construction guarantees that it is both corrosion proof and non-magnetic and requires zero maintenance. The Kevlar & Hytrel handle is so tough it can survive in any adverse environment and will not weaken when hot or subjected to UV. Built for the human hand, the handle is ergonomically designed for extreme hard use and long-term comfort. The MPK has been proven to be the "World's Toughest Knife" by 12 years of vigorous SOCOM military usage without a single broken MPK in the field. Use it, abuse it, put it away wet or dirty, this knife will last a lifetime."This particular knife features a bead blasted partially serrated blade, 1/4" blade stock and 1 1/2" blade depth, hidden tang construction. The handle is made of Kevlar and Hytrel. Some minor wear from the sheath on the blade and a couple of scuffs and scratches. Comes with a green molded sheath with "CWO J.W. MADDOX U.S. MARINES" written on the back. A small number of green sheaths were made for USMC RECON, also comes with the standard black sheath. Was given/gifted to CWO3 USMC (RET.) Reconnaissance Officer (1976-2004) by Mr. John Moore, former owner of Mission Knives for IRAQ 2003. Carried and used in IRAQ 2003. If this thing could talk.
