The 250 Series

Two knives, built by hand in Bozeman to mark America’s 250th. Seven of each, and no more. Choose the Axis, the Ironhide, or take the pair as a set.

Axis

Some knives are built for one job. The Axis is built for your life. It rides just as easily in a bird vest at first light as it does in your pocket on a Tuesday, and it handles everything from upland birds to big game without flinching. Small enough to carry every day, tough enough for the backcountry, and ground by hand in Bozeman to hold an edge long after cheaper steel gives up.

The 250 Series marks something bigger. Two hundred and fifty years ago, this country was founded on the idea that you could build something with your own hands and pass it down. That is the same idea we go to work on every morning. One of only seven, made to mark America’s 250th. When they are gone, they are gone.

Made in Montana. Built to be handed down.

Ironhide

The Ironhide has one job, and it does it better than anything we have ever made. This is a 3.5" skinning knife built for the toughest animals and the worst of the work. From caping to deboning, it was made to finish what the hunt started. We jimped the spine for grip when your hands are cold and wet, smoothed every edge for comfort over the long haul, and locked the textured Ironwood scales down with threaded bolts that do not quit. And we will say it plainly: it will break down an entire elk, or your money back.

The 250 Series marks America’s 250th the only way we know how, by making something built to outlast us. One of only seven, made for the anniversary. When they are gone, they are gone.
