Mantis MK-FS Evis 1

The Mantis MK-FS Evis 1 is the result of a bold partnership between Mantis and the US Marine Corps, born from Adam Chavez’s real-world insights. Fresh from Iraq, Adam sketched the blueprint for the ultimate micro-karambit, and the design was transformed into a precision-engineered fixed blade. Compact yet fierce, the Evis-1 redefines what a five-inch knife can achieve.

Every aspect of the Evis-1 reflects Adam’s hands-on involvement. Its 1.25″ AUS8-steel Shawty blade delivers controlled cutting performance and long-lasting edge retention, whether you’re slicing rope, opening packages, or handling field tasks. Wrapped in desert-camo 550 paracord, the handle provides a secure grip, while the integrated finger hole ensures instinctive control and fast handling. At just 2.8 ounces, it remains extremely lightweight for everyday carry.

Carrying the Evis-1 is simple and versatile thanks to the Mantis Infini-Clip system. Clip it to your belt, pocket, pack, or MOLLE webbing and access it instantly when needed. The design emphasizes real-world usability, making it suitable for outdoor users, first responders, and tactical professionals.

Designed for reliability and compact performance, the Mantis MK-FS Evis 1 blends practical engineering with field-ready durability. Its compact blade geometry and secure carry options make it a dependable micro fixed blade for everyday tasks.
