This blade used to be called the ****25. We can’t even legally say its old name anymore. As Jocko would say, ‘GOOD.’ It’s time to pivot and march forward. The new name for our SERE-inspired blade: REDACTED.

The Redacted stands as our most specialized tactical survival blade, built to surpass the exacting standards of Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape operations. With its optimized five-inch blade, the Redacted delivers exceptional capability in a field-ready package.

Engineered to withstand extreme abuse when stakes are highest, this knife excels in critical scenarios when failure isn’t an option. Whether you’re rapidly processing wood for an emergency fire, constructing an improvised shelter, or fabricating survival tools, the Redacted is your go-to companion when all else fails.

THICK, REINFORCED BLADE TIP

The Redacted’s drop point blade with a high saber grind is engineered for maximum tip durability during the most demanding survival tasks.

Unlike traditional bushcraft techniques, real SERE operations often require jamming the knife tip into wood, then twisting and hammering to rapidly process kindling or build emergency shelters. We’ve reinforced the Redacted’s blade geometry to handle this punishing technique while maintaining precision for more delicate tasks. This knife excels at wood processing, shelter building, and creating emergency tools — the foundation of wilderness survival.

CERAKOTE MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL BLADE

The Redacted features a 4 7/8-inch drop point blade made of premium Cerakote MagnaCut stainless steel for maximum durability and minimal rust and glare.

We don’t compromise when it comes to steel, and the Redacted is no exception. It’s tough enough to baton through dense materials, precise enough for intricate tasks, and always ready for critical situations.

COMBAT-READY G10 HANDLE WITH A TACTICAL TEXTURE

The Redacted features a full-sized ergonomic G10 handle with our signature tactical texture pattern on the flats for a secure grip in any condition.

Designed with a palm swell that prevents rotation during hard use and flat sides that provide positive indexing, this handle stays secure even when wet, muddy, or bloody. The forward thumb ramp allows for precision control when needed, while the handle’s overall design facilitates multiple grip positions for different survival tasks. The integrated finger guard protects your hand during the most demanding cutting and prying operations.

INTEGRATED STEEL POMMEL

The Redacted’s extended tang forms a robust pommel designed for hammering, pounding, and emergency impact tasks.

Whether you’re driving stakes, breaking materials, or using the knife in a hammer grip to baton wood, this reinforced pommel takes the abuse so your handle doesn’t have to. We’ve carefully integrated this feature while maintaining the knife’s overall balance and ensuring the lanyard hole remains protected from impact damage.

EXCLUSIVE MKC TACTICAL KYDEX SHEATH

Each Redacted comes with a custom-molded MKC and extremely durable Kydex sheath.

The sheath features a built-in retention system with adjustable tension for secure carrying in any environment. Configurable for horizontal or vertical carry and compatible with our quick-attach system, the Redacted sheath ensures your knife is always accessible when needed but secured when not in use.

My favorite MKC knife, however 1 critique
I would give this a 5 star review as I believe this is the best blade (I have 4) I have received from MKC. I only put 4 starts as I think it is missing one thing, instead of a cerakote, why not use a DLC coating (TRC uses DLC above and below this price point)? Especially if it's going to be used for survival, cerakote doesn't hold up as well as DLC and if using it for food prep, you don't want cerakote flakes in your food. Otherwise this had a hair shaving sharp edge. My Fieldcraft, TF24, and Wargoat all needed sharpening. This one is perfect! I haven't used it much but It hacked down several tree branches as well as my old cold steel machete. Last, it's light enough that you can clip it inside the wast band of your pants comfortably. Great knife and keep up the fantastic work!

Beautiful, well balanced and SHARP!
Second MKC purchase, great addition to my knife collection. So sharp (as warned on box) that when accidentally slipped from my hand, almost took off my little toe. Can’t wait to put this Sere25 into correct usage.

My new all purpose camp knife
I hunt and have several MKC hunting knives, but I do way more backpacking and primitive camping. For that, I like to have the perfect knife.
The Super Cub is one of the first MKC knives I purchased and I still love it. However, SERE25 is unlike another of their others. As soon as you pick it up there's no question that this thing is going to handle any and every task. If you're looking for light-weight, this isn't it. It's made for hard work.
