Summary
In this episode, Colion Noir sits down with master bladesmith Josh Smith, founder of Montana Knife Company. Josh shares insane real-life stories of knife accidents. Josh also breaks down what truly separates a high-quality blade from cheap imports, the craftsmanship behind forging, heat treating, and making Damascus steel, and why American-made knives almost disappeared. He opens up about his own journey—from being the youngest master bladesmith in the world, to losing his house, to building a multi-million-dollar knife company out of his garage with zero investors. If you care about preparedness, American craftsmanship, or just love behind-the-scenes origin stories, this is one of the most fascinating and unexpectedly gripping conversations you’ll hear.
