LEAD BLADE FIRST. 

The Montana Knife Company™ Blackfoot Blade 2.0s are made from 52100 high carbon ball-bearing steel.  The cryogenically heat-treated blades provide a perfect balance of toughness and edge retention.  Once the razor edge has been lost it can be easily sharpened with a small stone.  Unlike other knives, the Blackfoot’s edge can be maintained by even novice knife owners.   Additionally, the blades have been parkerized to a black finish which will help minimize rust and glare.  52100 is not stainless.  After use, clean the blade and occasionally apply a little wax or oil.

The Montana Knife Company™ Blackfoot Blade 2.0 was designed as the do it all knife. It is light enough to pack on a goat hunt but durable and large enough to completely field dress an elk.  The thin knife blade not only makes the knife light but also makes resharpening easy.  With G-10 handle this knife will not absorb blood and will also still provide some grip when wet.  This isn’t just another knife but instead, it's a part of your essential gear.  

The Montana Knife Company™ Blackfoot Blade 2.0 got its name from the region that our founder Josh Smith grew up in.  The Blackfoot river valley in Lincoln Montana is on the edge of the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat wilderness’.   Josh grew up hunting and fishing in this area and felt it was fitting to name this blade after this incredible place.  

The Montana Knife Company™ Blackfoot Blade 2.0s have three hollows cuts into the handle to decrease weight and provide a place for the epoxy to bond the steel and handle material.  Screws and high-strength epoxy hold the handle scales in place permanently.
