Handmade Knife from Poland
Marcin is a trained architect, but he deliberately chose knifemaking because he sees more freedom in it. For him, knives are tools that tell stories – and that is exactly what you feel with the Humbler. Only a few pieces are made each year, each showing visible traces of handcraft and individuality.
Right from the first opening, you notice that nothing is left to chance: the blade made from Elmax steel runs smoothly on washers through two half-stops before locking in place with a satisfying “clack.” The strong spring tension provides not only safety but also this conscious, almost ritualized opening and closing – a moment that Marcin himself particularly values.
His preference for clean lines becomes clear in the drop-point blade with fine glassblast finish. Instead of traditional grinding, he mills the blade – an unusual but very consistent decision that gives the knife its unique character.
The handle also carries Marcin’s signature: beneath the Micarta or Richlite scales are titanium liners – and the backspacer, which also forms the backspring, is made of Elmax steel just like the blade. Micarta develops patina over time, while Richlite is extremely durable and has already been used in aerospace since the 1960s – both materials make the knife your very personal companion.
What matters most to Marcin is the connection between maker and user. In an interview, he explained that he loves when his knives are not locked away in a display case but used outdoors. The Humbler is built for that: 42a-compliant, honest, handmade – a knife that accompanies you without pushing itself into the spotlight.
The Scout Fixed by MK Knives & Tools is not a production knife. Each piece is made in small batches by Marcin Kampka himself – combining precise machining with hands-on finishing. The result: a knife with character, not just another factory product.
The flat-ground blade slices cleanly through apples, bread, or rope, while a subtle swedge keeps it nimble in hand. Slim enough for day hikes, tough enough for harder use.
The handle scales are built from either Micarta or Richlite, each paired with an extra liner for added strength and detail. Micarta will develop a unique patina over time, while Richlite is lightweight, extremely durable, and originally developed for aerospace applications.
Even the sheath sets this knife apart: every Kydex is carefully fitted, upgraded with an extra paracord wrap, and offers versatile carry options – Scout style or classic belt loop.
In short: the Scout Fixed is a compact outdoor companion, crafted in limited numbers by a custom maker – robust, functional, and full of details that make the difference.

Blade Finish / Handle Material:
Black Stonewash / Purple G10
Compact, Modern, Reliable
The Humbler Liner Lock Flipper combines classic tradition with modern technology, bringing the DNA of the Humbler Custom into a contemporary EDC format. With an overall length of 17.7 cm and a blade length of 7.5 cm, this knife is deliberately compact, making it the perfect everyday companion.
Proven Liner Lock System
For locking, Marcin Kampka relies on the Liner Lock. In his tests, this system proved to be absolutely reliable and safe for a knife of this size – ideal for daily use.
Flipper Mechanism for Quick Access
The shift from a classic slipjoint to a flipper mechanism was intentional: it offers quick, direct access to the blade while preserving a clean design. Subtle grooves and a tactile texture ensure precise control without being obtrusive.
Design Meets Functionality
Another highlight is the hidden pivot screw. Unlike many other folders, the axis remains invisible, keeping the knife close to a classic design while featuring modern mechanics. The G10 handle scales are extremely durable, lightweight, and offer a secure grip in everyday situations.
Practical & Easy to Carry
The discreet clip option on the right side allows you to carry the knife conveniently without interrupting its clean lines. If you prefer not to use it, the slim profile ensures the knife disappears almost unnoticed in your pocket at just 102 mm closed and weighing only 85 g – yet remains ready to hand.
MagnaCut – Next-Generation Steel
The blade is made of MagnaCut, a modern high-performance steel that is robust, sharp, and corrosion-resistant. This guarantees excellent cutting performance even in a compact knife.
Bestech Knives Manufacturing
The first production models are created in cooperation with Bestech Knives, renowned worldwide for precise craftsmanship and reliable quality.
Compact, elegant, and functional – the MK Knives Humbler Liner Lock Flipper is a high-quality EDC knife for those who value style, quality, and reliability in everyday life.
