I had the privelage of attending the grand opening for the new Montana Knife Company facility this past weekend. It was an amazing experience and what they have built as a scrappy American made brand is astonishing. Started in 2020 in Josh Smith garage with his wife and soon joined by Brandon Horoho has grown to a brand that is resonating deeply with those that love and appreciate made in America quality. They now have over 100 team members, a brand new state of the art manufacturing facility and retail space that combines another proud American company Black R***e Coffee Company and great MKC products. They are writing the American dream and thousands of people showed up to show they believe too.
They started the event Friday night with the Pledge of Allegiance...it was the first time I had ever been to an event that started like this (and I do a lot of events with my real job) and it was perfect. 600 invited supporters, friends and team all joined in unison for this moment...removed their hats (and there were lots of cowboy and trucker hats!) and showed their patriotism. Which is, at its core, what MKC is all about.
