When Master Bladesmith Josh Smith launched Montana Knife Company, he set out to create the ultimate do-it-all knife — small and light enough to pack on a goat hunt, durable enough to completely field dress a moose, and shaped to gut, cape, skin, and debone with ease. He called this flagship knife “The Blackfoot,” and it remains his go-to blade.

MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL
MAGNACUT Stainless Steel
As a cryogenically heat-treated stainless steel, MAGNACUT provides the perfect blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Unlike other stainless steel blades, MAGNACUT can be easily resharpened — even by novice knife owners. More wear-resistant than other stainless steels, and more corrosion-resistant than carbon steel, MAGNACUT is in a class of its own.
The Blackfoot’s drop point blade shape is key to its versatility. It has enough tip for easily caping out an animal or doing other fine work (yes, including those difficult tear ducts), but enough belly for skinning and deboning.
Compact Size & Weight
Most knives — especially “do-it-all” knives — are completely overbuilt for the job they’re intended for. Not the Blackfoot.
With a blade length of 3.5" and a total length of 7.75", the Blackfoot can go anywhere.
We also skeletonized the tang (the steel part of the handle) to shed unnecessary weight, bringing the total weight to 3.6 oz. But don’t let the small size fool you — the Blackfoot is big and strong enough for heavy work, like cutting through a pelvis or rib cage.
Bulletproof G-10 Handle Scales
The G-10 handle scales are equally as tough as the blade. G-10 is famous for being strong, durable, and lightweight — unmatched by any natural handle material.
It can withstand any abuse without cracking or breaking, won’t absorb blood, and provides excellent grip, even when wet. The contours of the handle are also designed for comfort in extended use. The G-10 scales are attached with locally sourced titanium screws and high-strength epoxy to secure the perfect, lasting fit.
Exclusive MKC Open Carry Sheath 2.0
Each Blackfoot comes with a 100% Made in the USA, custom MKC Kydex sheath.
The sheath features a built-in retention screw to customize blade tension and allow for handle-down carrying. The Blackfoot sheath comes a Kydex clip that allows you to carry your knife on a pack or belt loop, either horizontally or vertically.

Magna Cut Blackfoot 2.0
Grip shape, size, grip ability, was amazing. Blade shape, length, and composition is spot on for trout, upland game, and whitetails. Sheath is durable, lightweight, very secure, and adjustable.
What is not to love? Best knife I ever purchased.

Perfect full tang EDC size
Feels great in my hand. Super sharp. Love the Magnacut. Can’t wait to use it on the birds this fall. Showed it off to our local knife sharpener- he sharpens most of the professional chefs knives etc in the Mpls St. Paul area so he’s seen it all the past 30 years. he was super impressed with both the workmanship and the metallurgy ! I knew he would be. Keep up the good work and God Bless American made!
