Here's what we discussed:

- The origin story of Montana Knife Company, founded three years ago to address the challenges in the knife industry and create high-quality, affordable knives.
- The goal of creating knives worth passing down for generations and bringing back the culture of durable, functional tools.
- The focus on authenticity and creating new hunters, distinguishing themselves from big companies that simply rebrand existing products as hunting knives.
- The founders' commitment to being hunters and crafting knives that they themselves would use.
- The importance of the emotional connection to knives, comparing it to the attachment people have to items like old rifles or cast iron pans.
- The significance of supporting local businesses and knowing where your money goes when purchasing products, contrasting it with the uncertainty of foreign-made products.
- Batch releases were initially necessitated by the availability of steel, but the practice continued and evolved.
- Plans to double down on culinary knives, with the goal of offering a complete set for the entire hunting and processing experience.
- Highlights of recent hunting experiences, including a BC bear hunt with John Dudley, an Alaskan Blacktail hunt, and a whitetail hunt in Texas.
