CRKT Extrik-8-R - 2051K
James McGowan is a professional firefighter in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Due to his passion for the outdoors, he started making "hard working knives" and joined the Canadian Knifemakers' Guild in 1998. Drawing from his extensive real-life fire and rescue experiences, he has designed the CRKT production M.A.K.-1 and Extrik-8-R emergency rescue tools, based on the day-to-day needs of professional firefighters, rescue workers, EMTs, police Special Response Teams, and military operators.
The Extrik-8-R is a lightweight seat belt cutter and multi-tool. It has finger holes and grip grooves allowing use even with the heaviest gloves. It also has a rectangular relief which is sized to be an oxygen bottle wrench. James has added a simple blade screwdriver tip to one end, and Phillips screwdriver tip to the other end. The Extrik-8-R also has a hand-tied reflective orange paracord fob.
The model 2051K comes in a non-reflective black finish. A fitted Kydex sheath is included which allows easy carry on belts or webbing.

Designer: James McGowan
 James McGowan of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is an avid outdoorsman and Toronto Firefighter. He says, "I rely on knives daily. The limitations of factory knives became evident, and I began collecting custom-made knives. This led to my passion which is creating my own handmade knives. Learning from veteran knife makers such as Murray St. Amour, Roger Toner and George Tichbourne, I developed my own formula for producing durable and aesthetically pleasing knives which can endure extreme conditions. The demands by friends and colleagues for my custom designed knives grew and through their encouragement I began offering my products to the public in 1998 as a member of the Canadian Knifemakers' Guild. My mission is to provide high-quality products for people who demand hard working knives." In his shop, J. McGowan Knives, he specializes in fixed blades using handle materials from the practical to the exotic. James is the designer of the CRKT M.A.K.-1 and Extrik-8-R.
