The MKC Speedgoat: Your Ultimate Hunting EDC Fixed Blade? 

I own two Speedgoats, both in Magnacut, and they work great. Gut, skinned and deboned a large mule deer in fall of 2023 and it was razor sharp after all of that work. Did not have to break out the second one (yes, I carry two knives while hunting). Easy cleanup. Just remove the paracord, wash off the blade, and install new paracord. Yes, for $225.00 it is pricey, but well worth every penny. I own knives from just about every maker and can say the Speedgoat works best for taking care of game.

I bought one. It is excellent. Light, thin, love that MagnaCut steel. Perfection :-) .... also a bonus is that it has no sharpening choil to catch on things. This one is great.

The Speedgoat is on my list to get, right behind a T Kell Nightguard. I had read that it was MKC's most popular blade and that they jumped through hoops to ramp up production this year so that they would always have them in stock. Not a fan of the cord wrapped grip for 'goopy' chores and my mid 50's year old hands will probably demand the scales. Glad they came out in magnacut this year, hate to admit I've become a fanboi of that steel, it's just that good.

I love that style of knife. It reminds me of one of my edc blades the CRKT Obake. It has a wrapped handle like a katana sword with some kinda coating over it thats held up well and is really grippy. I dont like paracord wrapped knives at all. They dont let a knife perform at its best and make it look cheap imo. I wish my CRKT had better steel but it does what I need it to do and I carry several knives with it for other tasks. I do like their tactical versions with the ring but they want more for it than I can afford right now.

Paracord on a gutting and skinning knife? Not ideal. I would pass on that design. Been hunting my whole life, raised in a family of hunters and don't think any of them would want a paracord wrapped handle. Hard to keep clean and sanitary. Thanks for the video though.

The Mini Speedgoat Magnacut Is also on my list. A Great American Knife Company.

This MKC Speedgoat is very similar in design to the Rainier Knives Fastpak, especially the early incarnation/version of the Fastpak that had a paracord wrapped handle🤔 The MKC Speedgoat would be better if it had micarta scales just like how Rainier eventually did with the Fastpak👍

The best knife I own! I’ve cut up an elk, bear and many deer. If you clean it in an hour or so and the paracord works great. It stays sharp and the point is great for capping. Better than the multiple Benchmade knives I own.

TKELL makes the best sheaths in the business.

I have one in magnacut and 52100 I keep going back to the 52100 version of this knife

It works very well(for me),as a neck knife-so flat it doesnt print,and so light,you literally forget its there.I carry it for tactical purposes,and for that its got it allyou need-very pokey and aslashing machine.I left the tail on the paracord,to make it easier to guide your hand to the grip.But honestly,I prefer this for just tactical,I carry a 940 or a mini rsk,or a deka for usual edc tasks

Thanks for sharing bud I love the knife but I would rather go with real scales instead of the paracord but I guess one good thing about it is you can replace the paracord as needed if it gets dirty or sticky

Love the simple design and its basic handle; really don't like overdesigned handles and blades.

Looks like a great EDC knife!

The Rainier Knives Fastpak is a bit smaller than the MKC Speedgoat, but the Fastpak still offers a full four finger grip. The Fastpak also has an option of really nice micarta scales and comes with a much smaller/thinner taco style Kydex sheath. The Fastpak with micarta scales costs $149.00 vs. the MKC Speedgoat at $225.00 with a paracord wrapped handle. I really really wish that one day Rainier Knives will make the Fastpak with magnacut steel🙏🤞

Very nice. However, I'll stick with my Cold Steel Roach Belly for the time being. ( I'm a bit low on funds)

I like it as it is thin stock and Magnacut. But I think it needs scales. Looking forward to your Ascent review. Though I can’t find one to buy. Do you have a link?

Very nice

I like the shape, but not the handle. Needs some grippy scales and a good sheath. Thanks for the video

As an avid hunter, yeah this is pretty much perfect if you had the scales and no paracord. Most knives marketed for hunting aren't great for it. This shape and size would handle pretty much everything well.

Magnacut has been found to patina in animal juices, hence the mirror polish. Otherwise solid review

A sharpening choil isn't great on a hunting knife since it has the tendency to get hung up while processing the animal.

Why do you care if the secondary bevel widens up at the heel of the blade? For cutting cord and other items which can bind, it's much better not to have a sharpening choil. Is the blade finish their standard finish? A mirror finish is actually better for salt-water use, as Magnacut can still corrode.

G10 handel ,stainless washable corrosion resistant blade better for outdoor use. This knife is not for me. Looks nice that's about it.

Nice knife but overpriced. You got the Fanboys buying everything. I've been trying to get one of their fieldcraft survival blades but it's also in magna cut. I need something in 3 inches I live in Massachusetts. I do a lot of Bushcraft I want the fieldcraft or a gso survive knife. 2.5 or. 3.

MKC reports that hardness is 61 hrc

I'm just trying to get one because it's almost legal in Massachusetts I go for walks early in the morning I almost get attacked by coyotes And I don't have the money to get a pistol permit I need help people

Not my Jam Mr Stassa. Thank you for video 📹 though. 👊

That thing would separate someone's ribs with ease but for $225 I'd rather stick with a $20 piece of cold steel instead. I don't hunt normal animals.

Skinner with paracord? Hard pass. Don't like the sheathe either.

👍🇦🇷

Slicy !!

Let's be honest this is the most over priced most ridiculously basic design I could make one in my garage they never have stock there's hardly no reviews on mkc stuff it's so weird man this is 225 so is the 52100 carbon steal version makes no sense same price this is so weird I refuse to buy one lol

Way overpriced for what it is…
