I am living in Montana and I am always looking to see what knife makers are near me. Sometimes it is a local "manufacturer" that is still making stuff in house. Sometimes it is a guy in his back yard. But I enjoy the opportunity to see peoples work and hopefully meet the maker. But sometimes I just need someone I can trust to repair something, regrind a blade or sharpen something. To me it kind of like knowing a good gunsmith, welder or machinist, its good to know someone you trust. Can anyone point me to any Montana knife makers I should look into?
 
The person id recommend the Most is Scott Larimore. He's in the Whitefish Montana area.
S Seedy Lot

Mostly he's on Bushcraftusa site, but he's Here too. Giving advice.

Look up Seedyknives on Instagram. For his sales.

He is a high end maker of Working knives.
He tests and contributes to the community. Lots of knowledge and experience. Uses lots of different steels, treats and tests them himself. From simple steels to high alloy expensive stuff.

Larrin Thomas has used his work in his publications.... (Corrosion Testing)

Just to name a few of the more notable ones. There are literally dozens and dozens of lesser known makers.
