I SHIP QUICKLY VIA UPS AND I INSURE THE PACKAGE. I don’t not use usps ground saver as it is unreliable, unsafe, and the insurance process is terrible. Please reference my response and 20+ years of selling on .
Offered for sale is one brand-new Montana Knife Company “The Montana” pocket knife, brand new. The blade has never even been opened. I have 2 available.
This knife features the highly desirable R&D2 blade stamp, signifying Research & Design, Batch 2—the second earliest production runs ever released by Montana Knife Company. Because these early R&D-marked knives were produced in limited numbers before standard production, they are considered especially desirable by many MKC collectors.
“The Montana” sold out on the MKC website in approximately three minutes, making it one of the company’s most sought-after releases. Whether you’re an avid MKC collector or looking for a premium everyday carry with exceptional provenance, this is an outstanding opportunity to own an early-production example.
When Master Bladesmith Josh Smith founded Montana Knife Company, he was already thirty years into making custom liner locks by hand. These kinds of customs sell for ten to thirty thousand dollars apiece.
The Montana is the first folder Josh has built at production scale, with a team of engineers and machinists who could match what he does on the bench.
With an overall length of 7 5/8", the Montana is an EDC liner lock built around a hardened stainless pivot, custom bronze-cage bearings on silicon nitride balls, and a full flat grind MagnaCut blade taken to the thinnest edge we’ve ever ground. The liners run harder than the category standard, extend the handle’s full length, and feed blade load into compression rather than bending. When closed, it measures only 4.31" and has a handle thickness of 0.45", making it fit into any pocket seamlessly.
G10 scales with a 3D-milled micro-texture. Titanium hardware. A custom deep-carry clip with flat-head screws set flush.
The blade goes back into the mill after heat treatment for its most critical surfaces. That’s the kind of step nobody else takes. That same standard applies to every part of The Montana from start to finish.
