In this last episode of The Luke Branquinho Show from the NFR, we welcome back Josh Smith, founder of Montana Knife Company and the youngest Master Bladesmith in history, earning the title at just 19 years old! 🔥

While the NFR is best known for rodeo, it’s also home to some of the most incredible vendors in the Western world—and Josh is one of them.

Montana Knife Company has had an amazing year, with huge success in bringing high-quality, American-made knives to the hands of hunters, ranchers, rodeo athletes, and craftsmen alike. The connection between rodeo and knife-making runs deep—both require precision, skill, and a deep respect for tradition, and the people in these worlds share the same values, morals, and pride in their craft.

Josh shares his journey from becoming the youngest Master Bladesmith ever to building one of the country's most sought-after knife brands. This episode is all about hard work, passion, and the crossover between rodeo and craftsmanship—you won’t want to miss it!
