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 Extrik-8-R™
is a lightweight seat belt cutter and multi-tool. It has finger holes
and grip grooves allowing use even with the heaviest gloves. It also
has a rectangular relief which is sized to be an oxygen bottle wrench.
James has added a simple blade screwdriver tip to one end, and Phillips
screwdriver tip to the other end. The Extrik-8-R also has a hand-tied
reflective orange paracord fob.
The model 2051 comes
in a satin finish. A fitted Kydex® sheath is included which allows
easy carry on belts or webbing.
