TRADITIONS SUPER CUB
Introducing the MKC Traditions Knives, a special collection that brings back the classic hunting knives from my days as a custom knife maker. Each knife in this lineup features a unique desert ironwood handle, renowned for its toughness and one-of-a-kind grain patterns.
The MKC Traditions Knives showcase handles crafted from desert ironwood, a material celebrated for its hard, closed grain that repels oil, blood, and water. This ensures the handle stays clean, stable, and free from warping or cracking. We’ve outfitted four of our models – the Blackfoot, the Whitetail, the Stonewall, and the Super Cub – with these exceptional handles, each paired with a custom sheath from Francesca at Teton Leather.
Every piece of desert ironwood is unique, just like a fingerprint, offering a variety of grain patterns from burly to straight. This means no two knives are alike, giving you a one-of-a-kind tool that is both functional and visually stunning. The ironwood's natural resilience to extreme conditions makes it perfect for hunting knives.-

Love the beautiful polished blade and the wood scales. I’m a sucker for wood and bone inlays. Hoping MKC does more with other varieties of wood as well!
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our TRADITIONS SUPER CUB. We are thrilled to hear that you love the polished blade and wood scales - we are also huge fans of wood and bone inlays! Your suggestion for using other varieties of wood is noted and we will definitely keep that in mind for future products. Thanks again for your support and happy adventuring!
My traditions SuperCub is my third MKC knife. The wood they chose is just beautiful. The size of the super cub fits my hand well. I view this knife more of a work of art rather than a knife BUT I will use it because it has the generations guarantee. I’m proud to know America 🇺🇸 has such an incredible knife company making these high quality knives. If you’re a woodsman or a homesteader the traditions Super Cub is for you!
This thing is amazing. So many larger knives are so thick that they don’t cut well. The super cub has a thin profile that cuts like a dream! The ironwood is awesome and gives it a custom look and feel. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks MKC
