Hi Craig, great to see you! The MSK SURVIVAL knife looks like a winner. Although it is smaller than I thought it would be, and I didn't realize it was a neck knife when I first clicked the video. I expected the blade to be at least 4-inches long instead of only 3-inches.
We do a modified Scandi Grind, so there is a secondary bevel. As far as sharpening goes, we recommend using what you're comfortable using. It just takes a little practice to find the angle of the final edge on these.
On my MSK, there are these random small blotches formed on the blade. It doesn't seem like a rust spots (if so, maybe minor rusting?)... but it's definitely noticeable. Although these arn't affecting the primary edge, I'd like to remove them if possible. I been using the Aegis Everyday Rust Prevention Solution (after the spots formed... I know...) and it's doing it's job of preventing any new spots to form... but apparently it does not remove the spots formed already. I guess I will give the other version of this product that claims to be heavy-duty (compared to the everyday version). Does anyone have any tips on removing these spots? I don't even know it's rust spots or maybe oxidation spots... (I never had such spots formed on other steels, so this is fairly new for me). Is the type of steel used for this knife succeptable to oxidization?

Say Heah, Yeah, It is so comfortable that I actually forget I'm wearing it. One day I decided to see if I could use just a large knife as a 1knife carry, I didn't plan it this way, but it had a Tan handle, anyhow I was surprised how well it worked. Murphy ' s Law went into affect and it started to drizzle, By this time I was getting a little hungry, but I decided to build me a tarp shelter which I put together kind if fast, The knife I was using made some feathersticks, but I knew I needed finer ones to start a fire in the wet. Boy, all of a sudden I got pretty happy, I remembered I had my Top's Mini Scandi 2.5 Knife around my neck, true story, I had to make a few if them, but I got a fire going, Thanx, Top's, I usually like to pouch wear my Camillus Silver Sword #836, but since then, I also change and wear the M.S.K. when I'm not wearing my other knivds, It is a very comfortable, but a very good functioning knife that's more knife than it looks, , ,
I have this knife, must have gotten a bad heat treatment or something, because can not get a decent edge on this steel to save my life, I can sharpen almost anything, I’ve contacted tops twice, no reply yet
Love the MSK, such a versatile little fixed blade.
TOPS KNIVES makes great TOOLS my FAVORITE one is Silent Hero
Tops knives makes great tools my favorite one is the tahoma field knife.
Tops knives makes great tools and my favorite is my beloved steel eagle 107c
Would like this with the Riverwash and any of the handle offerings. Personally I do think the Riverwash make the knives more appealing.
Loved my MSK. Great knife.
I love neck knives and TOPS so I will have to consider this one for the future!
Cool blades , it will definitely get the job done.
Gun Enthusiast Thanks. It is a great little knife.

+Muskrat Jim Check out our Scandi Trekker. It's got the same handle and blade shape, buts it's a 3.5 inch blade instead.
TOPS Knives Ok great, I'll check it out!
Complimenti,bel video. Ps...potrei avere più informazioni sul coltello? È magari sapere il costo? Grazie👍
Loving this knife and loving that they're made where I'm from originally Idaho! Sub'd!
Gorgeous knife guys/gals. Great job!
Mick Bator Thanks Mick.
Great...now I gotta buy another MSK!
Do these sharpen like traditional Scandi knives or like a saber ground knives? What is recommended to use to sharpen them?
We do a modified Scandi Grind, so there is a secondary bevel. As far as sharpening goes, we recommend using what you're comfortable using. It just takes a little practice to find the angle of the final edge on these.
Tops knives makes great tools, my favorite is the CAT knife

Am I a pansy for wanting this because the red liners match my silent hero?
Seventh Seal haha, no sir. These two knives would make an excellent combination and look great together too.
TOPS Knives ...a rhetorical question!
I love this Knive ! but please make it withe Elmax or M390 steel.
Nice knife!

what the MSK MEAN? MINI SCANDI KNIFE?
Good steel supposedly, but just going by this little knife, I don’t like tops Impossible to cut anything but maybe butter with mine

are you sending an email to info@topsknives.com
The blade looks quite nice but it seems like you have no skill in making feathersticks ;D
At least kill the fish so it's dead when you cut into it
Cold Water Fishing It was dead, just muscle spams.
oh got ya, that happens to me all the time with Walleyes and Northerns. Sorry about that.
