Mad Dog Knives
Mad Dog Knives is a custom knifemaking facility headed by Kevin McClung, a former Senior Materials Scientist at the American Rocket Company, Mad Dog Knives is based in Prescott, Arizona.〔〔Rowe, Janice (1991)''Mad Dog Knives''. Fighting Knives Magazine, Spring 1991, pp. 38-41〕 Mad Dog Knives made the fixed-blade knife known as the ATAK, used by Naval Special Warfare Groups 1 and 2 after the "SEAL Trials" of 1992.〔 Mad Dog Knives are typically made from selectively tempered, hand ground O1 Tool Steel with a hardchrome plating to protect the blade.〔
==Materials and design==
Mad Dog Knives makes tactical fixed-blade knives, using Starrett 496-O1 high carbon tool steel which is given a proprietary heat treatment. This process includes hardening, stress relieving, and selectively tempering the blade.〔 As a result, the blades have an edge hardness of 62-63 on the Rockwell C scale whereas the tip, spine, and tang have a Rockwell hardness of 50-54. This heat treatment was devised to develop phenomenal edge retention while preventing tip breakage and maintaining a degree of flexibility on the softer spine to improve the toughness of the knife. The blades are coated with a layer of hard chrome as a method of abrasion and corrosion resistance.〔
Mad Dog Knives utilizes a proprietary glass/epoxy composite fiberglass for the handle material of its knives.〔 This material can withstand long term heat in excess of 149 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit), a tractive force of 79,000 psi, current of 1,000 volts per mil (0.001") of thickness and is impervious to salt water, diesel oil, benzine and other caustic/corrosive fluids.〔〔McClung, Kevin (1991)''Get A Grip''. Fighting Knives Magazine, Summer 1991, pp. 18-19, 93-94〕 Mad Dog Knives utilizes kydex as a sheath material, specifications for the ATAK knife included "nonmagnetic metal rivets were to be used in the manufacture of the sheath".〔〔Huntington, Roy (2000).''Kevin McClung is a Mad Dog'', American Handgunner Magazine, Volume 10, Issue 5〕
Mad Dog Knives has made ceramic MIRAGE X blades and blades from other non-metallic materials for EOD and other military usage.〔Karwan, Chuck(1999)''Mirage X Ceramic Blades''. Tactical Knives Magazine, May 1999, pp. 66-71〕 These knives are not available for sale to the general public.〔
