More about Dennis DesJardins:
"Dennis was one of the last knife makers in Montana, let alone the United States, that forged his work in the same fashion as original blacksmiths did one hundred years ago..."
Dennis has been making knives since 1983. He loved the fire of the forge and the knives he produces. Dennis was a free spirit and made knives in the tradition of his beloved Montana heritage. His knives are rugged and authentically made using materials found on or near his ranch in Montana. The time we spent together discussing knives was an experience of a lifetime. From the "brain tanned" sheath leather to the bear jaw handles - I know of know other man making knives in this tradition. From the pages of a MT knife collector.
