For us knife aficionados, finding the perfect balance between combat-ready features and everyday utility can be challenging. Enter the Battle Goat knife, the head-turning third installment in our MKC Tactical series that blends battle readiness with everyday practicality.
It’s part tactical, part EDC, and all utilitarian.
A Knife for All Occasions
The Battle Goat is designed for those who demand uncompromising versatility. Whether you’re gearing up for a high-stakes mission or tackling simple tasks, this knife is your reliable companion.
The Battle Goat sports a reverse-swept endpoint for quick deployment. But don’t let its combat-ready design fool you — unlike the Battle Goat’s older brother, the fighting-focused Wargoat, the Battle Goat is just as capable of handling everyday cutting tasks as it is defending your life.
If you have an arsenal of one, the Battle Goat is your blade. While every knife in the Goat family complements the rest, the Battle Goat is the lineup’s jack-of-all-trades.
Just because it’s a multipurpose knife doesn’t mean it’s less effective for combat. We’ve built the Battle Goat with plenty of tactical features, including a reverse-swept endpoint that facilitates a quick draw. The Battle Goat has the same look as the rest of the Goat family and the same fine, surgical tip for delicate tasks.
If I only had one blade to bring with me on the daily, I’d choose the Battle Goat. It’s the ideal combination of on-the-job utility and off-the-job protection.
MagnaCut Steel: The Star of the Show
At the heart of the Battle Goat is its razor-sharp trailing point blade, crafted from tough MagnaCut stainless steel. This premium material offers an unbeatable combination of:
- Superior edge retention
- Exceptional toughness
- Excellent corrosion resistance
At 0.120″ thick, the blade is robust enough for heavy-duty tasks while maintaining a fine, surgical tip for precise work. Knife enthusiasts will appreciate that this steel was developed by renowned metallurgist Larrin Thomas, ensuring top-tier performance in every scenario.
A Comfortable, Secure Grip
The Battle Goat features a thicker and more ergonomic handle than its Wargoat brother, making it perfect for extended use in various hand positions.
We’ve milled the G10 scales with a linear angle texture, which provides an excellent grip in all conditions without being abrasive. This durable material maintains a secure hold even during a monsoon.
American-Made, Montana Tough
Each MKC knife is assembled right in our facility in Montana, embodying our commitment to high quality and American craftsmanship.
From the premium materials to the meticulous construction, every aspect of this knife is built to withstand harsh conditions. The full tang construction and titanium screws contribute to its durability and corrosion resistance.
Each Battle Goat comes with our exclusive MKC Kydex sheath. This custom, 100% USA-made sheath is designed for versatility, featuring a built-in retention system for secure carrying and quick access when you need it most.
The Promise of a Lifetime
Remember how your grandpa’s old pocket knife was passed down through the generations? We want the Battle Goat to be that knife to your grandchildren.
That’s why we offer our MKC Generations® program. We’ll clean, sharpen, repair, and even reshape your blade when necessary, all for free, for the blade’s entire life. It’s our commitment to keeping your knife in peak condition, preserving the character it develops through use.
In Conclusion: Why You Need a Battle Goat
Whether you need to defend your life or tackle something simple around the house, the Battle Goat is your new go-to blade. It’s versatile, tough, and precision-engineered: a true reflection of Montanan craftsmanship.
The Battle Goat isn’t just another blade. It’s a new breed of cutting tool, whether you carry it for utility, protection, or both.
