Forget the "pocket samurai swords" that weigh you down. The Step-Ridge MK-1 is a masterclass in compact utility, engineered by Maratac® for those who demand uncompromising performance in a footprint that actually makes sense for daily carry.

Whether it's mounted to your go-bag or tucked into your waistband, this isn't just a knife—it's a high-precision tool designed to disappear until the moment you need it most.

Engineered for the Extremes

N690 "Super Steel" Blade: Crafted from premium N690 cobalt-enriched steel, this blade offers an elite balance of edge retention, extreme durability, and surgical corrosion resistance. It’s built to stay sharp through the grit and rinse clean for the next task.
Step-Ridge Machining: The G10 scales feature aggressive, ball-milled "Step-Ridge" geometry. This high-grip design ensures the MK-1 locks into your palm, providing absolute control even in cold, wet, or high-stress environments.
Overbuilt Geometry: With a beefy .165" blade thickness, this knife punches far above its weight class, offering the lateral strength of a much larger fixed blade.

Adaptable Carry System

The MK-1 includes a custom-molded, ultra-secure Kydex sheath designed for zero-fail retention. No accidental deployments; just a smooth, reliable draw every time.

Multi-Directional Clip: Fully adjustable for left or right-hand carry.
Modular Mounting: Easily switch between belt carry or securing it to your MOLLE-compatible go-bag.
Neck Knife Ready: Remove the clip entirely for a streamlined, lightweight neck-carry configuration.

GREAT EDC

The Step-Ridge MK-1 by Maratac is an absolute gem of a compact fixed blade that punches way above its size. From the moment I clipped it onto my belt, I was impressed by its thoughtful design— the N690 cobalt-enriched steel holds a razor edge through tough daily tasks like feather-sticking, rope cutting, and box opening with effortless precision and outstanding corrosion resistance. The step-ridge handle provides a rock-solid, ergonomic grip even with wet or gloved hands, while the slim 6" overall profile (2.7" blade) makes it perfect for discreet EDC without weighing you down. Built tough yet refined, with clean lines and premium fit/finish that screams quality, this knife delivers uncompromising performance for anyone who values reliability in a minimalist package. Easily one of the best small fixed blades I've owned—highly recommended!
