  • Summary

  • When it comes to work ethic, Master Bladesmith Josh Smith self-identifies as “the guy Mike is always talking about.” At age 11, Josh was taught how to build knives by his little-league baseball coach. By age 19, he was the youngest bladesmith to ever pass the Master Smith test of the American Bladesmith Society. Today, he owns and operates the Montana Knife Company. Josh talks about giving up the security of a six-figure journeyman lineman job to start his own knife company, how he changed the way contestants are treated on Forged in Fire, and what it was like to build a sword for a sheik in Abu Dhabi.

I’m like minded

I am a Mike Rowe fan. I don’t know that I’ve ever disagreed with anything you have stated. Josh reminds me of myself. My dad started our small excavation business 65 years ago..Today, I run it, and my son works here also. I know how this story goes. I’m proud that I’m my father’s son. All 3 of us; my father, my son and I share the same first name. It’s a badge of honor.
