About this piece

The Modern Canadian Belt Knife. Professional hunting guide Aron Snyder lives for hunting sheep, goats, and other big game deep in the backcountry. When he approached us about collaborating on a design, we jumped at the opportunity. The result is the Jackstone, reflecting Aaron’s passion for the traditional Canadian belt knife. Its lightweight build and utilitarian shape makes the Jackstone ideal for multi-day backcountry trips. The distinct leaf-shaped blade provides enough belly for skinning while maintaining a super strong tip capable of more demanding tasks. Its rounded, ergonomic handle is optimized for comfort and control. And at just 3.5 oz, the Jackstone is virtually unnoticeable when attached to your pack.  We’re honored to add the Jackstone to the Montana Knife Company family. ...
