We have never really taken the time to explain the bison skull with the knife stuck in it and what it means to our brand. It’s more than you would think.
Most would assume that the bison skulls and Montana just go together. There are a lot of Montana brands that rep the bison skull. That makes complete sense. But there are layers to this onion…
First, we choose the bison because the bison is the greatest comeback story ever. Just like American manufacturing and our promise to only create America Made knives and bring back jobs to this country.
Take it one step further… You will notice that it is not just any bison skull and that the horns are missing. It is actually a petrified Bison skull from the previous ice age here in Montana. The skull that we used is the bison skull that hangs in Brandon’s family cabin outside of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The skull was found when they were digging up the foundation of the old hunting cabin in the early 1940s. We are not sure how old the bison skull really is.
So, in short, the MKC Bison Skull is a symbol of the great American Manufacturing comeback and honors the past knife makers who live in North America before anyone ever knew this place existed.
- CTClifford T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoGreat product even cooler
Hard to improve on a good Zippo, but adding a cool MKC design certainly helps. Originally purchased for my oldest son who liked the design. But after he got his 1st antelope buck last season and Speedgoat knife I decided to gift him the matching Zippo design. So this will eventually be gifted to his brother since I have the MVP.
Montana Knife Company3 days agoThat's awesome Clifford! Sounds like you've got the perfect family collection going with the matching Speedgoat knife and Zippo designs. Hope your youngest puts that Bison Skull lighter to good use too. Thanks for the 5 star review and MKC support!
- ZZachVerified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars5 months agoMisleading and terrible AI customer service
I ordered three MKC Zippo lighters expecting them to look like the photos on the website, which all show golden engravings on a black Zippo. There is no text on the site that mentions alternate colors, color variability, or a random color fulfillment system.
What I received was three completely different lighters, one gold, one grey, and one with a raw or white engraving. None of these variations are shown or explained on the website. Every listing displays gold engraved designs, so there is no reason a customer would expect anything else.
I reached out to customer service and the responses I received came from B grade AI generated scripts, polite but repetitive, contradictory, and not addressing the core problem. First they insisted the colors were described on the site. After I sent screenshots proving they were not, they admitted the colors are not listed. Then when I finally reached an human (I think) they told me MKC cannot guarantee which color you receive. These explanations directly contradict each other and also contradict the product photos.
For a company that prides itself on American made craftsmanship, quality, and integrity, this kind of bait and switch by omission is disappointing. Customers should not have to guess what color product they are buying. If MKC is going to ship random engravings, this needs to be clearly stated on each product page, not overlooked or implied.
The lighters themselves are fine, I guess, but the customer experience, transparency,…
Montana Knife Company22 seconds agoWe're really sorry about the confusion with your Zippo order, Zach. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive three different variations when the photos only showed one style.
We hear you on the customer service experience too, and that's not the level of support we want to provide. Your feedback about making the color variations clear on the product pages is noted and we appreciate you taking the time to share screenshots and work through this with us.
Thanks for the honest review - it helps us do better.

Really didn’t expect them to put such a nice finish it’s a little grippy while staying smooth! Also very durable coating
Montana Knife Company6 days agoThank you for five stars Gareth! We're thrilled to hear you're impressed with the finish on the Bison Skull Zippo. That grippy yet smooth texture is exactly what we were going for - functional and comfortable in hand. USA craftsmanship at its finest!
