MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL

ERGONOMIC ULTRALIGHT DESIGN

At just over 3 ounces, and under 8 inches overall, the Flattail won't weigh you down.

But don't let its lightweight fool you - this knife packs a serious punch when it comes to performance.

Unlike many ultralight knives that sacrifice comfort, the Flattail features a full G10 handle below the integrated fingerguard. Available in seven colorways, this bulletproof material provides a secure grip in any conditions while resisting moisture and wear.

Stonewashed MagnaCut Stainless Steel

We finished the premium MagnaCut steel in a low-glare stonewashed texture that hides wear and improves scratch-resistance.

As a cryogenically heat-treated stainless steel, MagnaCut provides the perfect blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Unlike other stainless steel blades, MagnaCut can be easily resharpened — even by novice knife owners.

More wear-resistant than other stainless steels, and more corrosion-resistant than carbon steel, MagnaCut is in a class of its own.

Precision Tip Blade

With a full flat grind and precision tip, the Flattail excels at slicing tasks and when you need a strong edge with a slim profile.

It also features a fine tip that is purpose-built for intricate tasks like caping and navigating around delicate areas but without sacrificing strength or comfort in the hand.

This allows for unparalleled control when working on smaller game or performing detailed trophy work and still holds up for tasks around camp.

Integrated Lanyard Hole

A signature feature of the Flattail line, the integrated lanyard hole offers versatile options and added security when deciding how to carry. 

Easily attach a lanyard for quick retrieval or to prevent accidental drops in critical moments.

    It’s in my EDC rotation

    The flattail is in my every day carry rotation, and is a super little knife.

    It’s simply comfy as heck, all of it; the handle, finger guard, jumping, and blade.

    I really like the lanyard hole design, the jimping, and the very small sharpening choil. I’d like to see these features on more MKC models. (The mule deer slipped choil looks like the best in the lineup but the smaller ones do well enough - haven’t gotten anything stuck in them).

    The PVD - food safe coating is also a huge reason I got this model. I like the look and functionality of it.

    The flattail is also named after the beaver, and I’ve coexisted with some pretty cool beavers in my territory. A good nod to nature.

    Thanks 🙏🏼

    Thank you for the five stars Zach! We're thrilled to hear the Flattail has earned a spot in your EDC rotation. It's fantastic that you're enjoying all the comfort features - the handle, finger guard, and jimping. We love that you appreciate the lanyard hole design and the small sharpening choil, and we'll definitely keep that feedback in mind for future models. The PVD coating is such a great feature for both looks and functionality, so we're glad that was a deciding factor for you. And yes, the beaver connection is a special nod to nature that we're proud of! Thanks for your MKC support 🙏🏼

    A New Favorite EDC

    The flattail is in my every day carry rotation, and is a super little knife.

    I really like the lanyard hole design, the jimping, and the very small sharpening choil. I’d like to see these features on more MKC models. (The mule deer choil looks like the best in the lineup but the smaller ones do well enough - haven’t gotten anything stuck in it).

    I got this particular model for a friend of mine who works with ranching and re-wilding. He was very happy with the knife, and will use it on anything from work, fishing, smaller game, and big game.

    The flattail is also named after the beaver, and he’s had beavers on his lands as a part of habitat restoration and management; and simple respect for local wildlife.

    The PVD - food safe coating is also a huge reason I got these knives. I like the look and functionality of it.

    Thanks 🙏🏼

It sounds like your friend will put this knife to great use across all his ranching and outdoor activities, and we love that the beaver connection ties into his habitat restoration work. We're so glad the PVD coating meets your needs for both functionality and food safety. Thank you for your MKC support!

    Absolutely stunning.

    Although I haven’t used it yet, this blade is stunning. Grip feels great in the hands, blade is thin and it’s the perfect weight.

    I bought this after field dressing my first deer by myself and realizing the blades I had sucked. I’m excited to try this year during all my whitetail hunts!
