The Story Behind Why I Started MKC

In the last two years, Montana Knife Company has been fortunate to grow beyond what I could have imagined, gaining recognition throughout the hunting community and the country.
As a result, you may think we're a huge company with dozens of employees running a complicated operation. In reality, we're just a small group of hunters and fishermen creating American-made tools that help us do what we love.
We design with hunting in mind, and we build reliable tools that last. We're passionate about making affordable, high-quality knives that serve the needs of real working people.
I’m Josh Smith, co-founder and Master Bladesmith for Montana Knife Company, and this is the story behind why I started MKC.

This is a sharp video - pun fully intended. Just received my HUK/MKC collaboration hoodie yesterday!

[@Steveambriz]

Just ordered a blackfoot 2.0, love the story behind your company. I’m willing to spend the extra money on a product that’s built with pride in America. Only thing I wish were different is that they should be built in Texas, that way I could intern there! 😁

[@1lostJoshua]

You’re a hero and an inspiration in the knife community I hope I can be like you and start my own knife making company.

[@Bulldog458]

So proud to have a couple of your knives! I'm so proud to support American Companies that reinvest in America!

[@MontanaKnifeCompany]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your support 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

[@SeanJawn]

It starts with a passion, I love the fact they are made in America and the quality of the products is amazing. My oc mini goat edc is still sharp after all this time and I use it often. 🎉

Thanks for the short video on how to sharpen knives. I almost had it. I’m going to have to rework the bevel. I think. I have been carrying a pocket knife since childhood and people always give me a strange look. Tell them that it is a tool and that they will thank me later. And they always do after asking me, “ do you have knife?” Your living my dream. Thanks again.

[@johnalderson2629]

So glad I ran across your company. I just bought my first knife from you guys. I love you spirit and conviction. I look forward to supporting MKC and informing others about you.

Just got my Marshal Bushcrafter, only tested it on the dresser where I keep my knives…devastating results

[@MontanaKnifeCompany]

😂 sounds like you may need a new dresser!

[@McWhatevs]

Great story. Do you still have those five knives you presented to earn your Master Bladesmith?

[@dennissanches-mv7vu]

What an incredible accomplishment at such a young age, let alone at any age. Love your knives.Keep up the great work.

[@marksmith5360]

Love you, love the story, grateful for all who gave and shared their knowledge with you over the years. Your beautiful partner Jessica, and children, and Brandon, at the heart of it all. Taking care of your MKC family and customers like you do is key. Fun to watch it all unfold.- Your two proud parents.

Inspiring. I'm going to look at your knives based off this video alone.

[@johnporter9752]

Dude you gotta get your foot in the door with a contract to be sold at the MCX /NEX / AFEX (the stores on military bases). Gerber , SOG, and leather man are sold there now.

[@ghosttownmetalworks]

Love your backstory so much. Thanks for sharing it! A company with meaning behind it is something that shows.

[@hoffpauirconcrete.semperfidCC]

[@ChrisPowell-MerleApAmber]

Passing it down, there it is, the entire point of life. Don't need to say no more.

[@MontanaKnifeCompany]

[@sonofablitch]

What a great story! Thanks for sharing this, Josh, and thanks for sharing your incredible talents with the world! Your knives are incredible and I definitely plan to pass them down to my children and grandchildren! I highly encourage everyone to make the investment in some MKC knives and see why they are the best knives around! Thank you again, to you, and the entire MKC family! Can’t wait to see what the future brings to you all!

Calling a 52100 knife blank with a cord wrapped handle for $225 is robbery. Not affordable in the slightest bit 😂
