Morey MK 0 Combat Knife

At this time, there are four prototype knives. I am planning a very small production run, if I can secure the funds through Kickstarter. Here is a link to my Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/moreyknives which should be up by Jan. 15. 2025.


The MK 0 (pronounced Mark Zero) is the evolution of a custom design that came about 1991, which predates my first production knife. In fact, the MK 0 is patterned after a knife I made while serving in the US Navy, during Operation Desert Storm. That knife had a D2 blade and Dymondwood handle scales. 

The main ideas surrounding this knife are affordability and usability. My knives are purpose-built, for that reason the price must reflect that purpose. No one is going to use a ridiculously expensive piece of equipment in a situation where it will likely be damaged. At this time I am looking at an approximate $110.00 price tag.

An exploded view, showing cutouts, which were a suggestion from my engineer.


VG-10 steel was used for my prototypes, as you can see on the blade markings.


This side is marked Morey MK 0



I am very proud to include a pivoting sheath attachment point, sometimes called a 180 degree belt clip. Please see the above video (this is the actual prototype knife and sheath). This piece of hardware increases carry options and is something rarely included with most knives.
