Overview
The MKO2 fills the hand. Its 117 mm zinc-aluminium handle gives a firm seat and the inertia a double-action automatic mechanism wants: one press on the push-button deploys the blade, a second retracts it. The 83 mm 440C drop-point blade covers most cutting work, from heavy cardboard to cordage.
The drop point, and why it is the most versatile profile
The spine falls in a convex sweep towards a tip that stays high and broad. You get a strong point that will not snap under prying, and a long belly that cuts well pushing and pulling alike. It is the profile you choose when you do not yet know what you will have to cut.
Technical details
440C drop-point blade, plain edge, 83 mm long and 2.5 mm thick. 117 mm zinc-aluminium handle finished with a 10 mm glass breaker. Push-button automatic opening, double action. Belt clip and lanyard hole. Overall length 206 mm. Weight 190 g. Nylon sheath included.
The equipment
The glass breaker at the butt is road-safety equipment: applied at the corner of a tempered side window it makes the glass give where a flat impact would do nothing. The belt clip and nylon sheath leave the choice of carry. The lanyard hole lets you secure the tool to the wrist when working at height or near water.
Care
An automatic mechanism wants a clean channel: blow it out with compressed air from time to time. A drop of light oil on the mechanism twice a year keeps the spring lively. Wipe 440C after wet use and store the knife dry, never in a damp nylon sheath.
