MISSOULA, Mont. (May 26, 2026) — Since its founding nearly six years ago, Montana Knife Company (MKC) has been known for a single style of knife. Fixed blades with a hunting heritage, designed around concepts born in a two-car garage. What came out of that garage became the country’s most sought-after American-made knives and a community who trusts them completely.
Today, MKC announces its first folding knife: THE MONTANA.
Hunters found the brand first, but this knife belongs in every pocket in America. Not just because that is how most knife owners prefer to carry, but because THE MONTANA is Made For America.
“Five years of scaling our manufacturing right here in Montana made our first folder possible,” said MKC Founder and CEO Josh Smith. “People will see a liner lock knife that weighs less than three ounces and is engineered to 0.0001 of an inch, built to fit in any pocket and operate without service for years. But what matters most is that THE MONTANA is built to be used and handed down just like every other knife we make. That’s why we put the MKC name on it.”
THE MONTANA carries the same standards for quality, craftsmanship, and purpose-driven design that built MKC from the very beginning. Designed to be carried daily and passed down for generations, the knife reflects MKC’s commitment to building American-made tools people can rely on for a lifetime, whether in the field, at work, or in everyday life.
THE MONTANA launches at 7 p.m. MDT on June 4 only at www.montanaknifecompany.com. Quantities will be limited.
