Do-It-All, Done Right.

The Only Hunting Knife You’ll Ever Need

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. Paired with MAGNACUT stainless steel, our most complete hunting knife is more wear and corrosion-resistant than ever, standing in a class of it's own.

Named for Lincoln, Montana’s Blackfoot River Valley where Josh grew up, the Blackfoot 2.0 Magnacut Edition is the ideal companion for every activity in the region: from fly fishing to bird hunting to big game expeditions. It’s the perfect fusion of thinness, lightness, sharpness, toughness, and versatility. If you can only take one knife with you in the field, this is it.

FEATURES

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. Learn more about MAGNACUT Stainless Steel from the creator: Larrin Thomas.
Versatile Blade Shape
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
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.
