MDK - SK01 EDC knife pine cones green SB1 steel

It has always been my personal desire to design and manufacture my own knife. So, some time ago, I started collecting and sorting the feedback from our customers. With this information, I set to work and drew taking into account the feedback of the SK-01. After some time, the final drawing was completed and I can say that 80% of the feedback from our customers has flowed into it. SK stands for my first and last name "Sven Kinast" and the 01 for the first knife I designed.

Now all I had to do was find someone who expertly implements our idea. It took exactly one phone call with the well-known German knife maker Jürgen Schanz, who also belongs to the "German Knife Maker Guild", and a partner was found.

Surprisingly and proudly, I achieved 3rd place in the readers 'competition in the Messer magazine in my 2015 readers' poll with my first design.
