Introducing the MKC Traditions Knives, a special collection that brings back the classic hunting knives from my days as a custom knife maker. Each knife in this lineup features a unique desert ironwood handle, renowned for its toughness and one-of-a-kind grain patterns.

The MKC Traditions Knives showcase handles crafted from desert ironwood, a material celebrated for its hard, closed grain that repels oil, blood, and water. This ensures the handle stays clean, stable, and free from warping or cracking. We’ve outfitted five of our models – the Blackfoot, the Whitetail, the Stonewall, the Jackstone, and the Super Cub – with these exceptional handles, each paired with a custom sheath from Francesca at Teton Leather.

Every piece of desert ironwood is unique, just like a fingerprint, offering a variety of grain patterns from burly to straight. This means no two knives are alike, giving you a one-of-a-kind tool that is both functional and visually stunning. The ironwood's natural resilience to extreme conditions makes it perfect for hunting knives.

MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL

Compact Yet Capable

At 8 5/8″ overall, the Whitetail is maneuverable when dressing deer in tight spaces yet substantial enough for larger game. With more belly than a classic drop point, the Whitetail skins like a dream. 

The 4″ blade also gives you added control when gutting, reducing the chances of unwanted punctures. It’s all the blade you’ll ever need.
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 knives 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.

Exclusive Ironwood Handle Scales

The desert ironwood handle scales are equally as impressive as the blade. Sourced from the Southwestern United States, this exceptional wood is renowned for its unparalleled durability and natural beauty. With a Janka hardness rating of 3260, the desert ironwood is one of the hardest woods available, ensuring the handle can withstand even the most rigorous use without cracking or breaking.

No Two Handles Are The Same

The stunning grain patterns and rich color variations, ranging from honey gold to blackish brown, give each handle a unique and visually captivating aesthetic. The natural luster of the wood adds an almost glass-like shine, elevating the overall appearance.

The natural density and stability of the wood mean these handles will maintain their shape and size over time, without requiring any special stabilization.
MKC X Teton Leather Sheath

Each Traditions Knife comes with a 100% Made in the USA, custom MKC x Teton Leather Company Sheath.

Montana Knife Company™ Vertical leather sheath is made of premium Leather and handmade by Francesca at Teton Leather Company. The Leather sheath is a classic alternative to the stock Kydex Whitetail Sheath.
