James McGowan is a professional firefighter in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Due to his passion for the outdoors, he started making "hard working
knives" and joined the Canadian Knifemakers' Guild in 1998. Drawing
from his extensive real-life fire and rescue experiences, he has designed
the CRKT production M.A.K.-1™ and Extrik-8-R™ emergency rescue
tools, based on the day-to-day needs of professional firefighters, rescue
workers, EMTs, police Special Response Teams, and military operators.
The M.A.K.-1™
(Multiple Access Knife) is a rescue and rapid entry knife, made of tough
3Cr13 stainless steel. It has a blunt chisel pry-bar tip for opening
doors and windows and a Razor-Sharp knife edge suitable for heavy cutting
or hacking tasks. The heavily textured and grooved G10 scales offer
an aggressive grip and allow control when wearing gloves. They can be
removed for cleaning.
The M.A.K.-1 Tactical
2050K is a special model designed for military and police use in non-reflective
black Teflon® finish with a black lanyard and a custom multi-function
Kydex® sheath which will hold an Extrik-8-R™ tool.
