If you follow the world of hunting knives much at all, you’ve likely heard about Montana Knife Company (MKC). You probably want one of their knives, even though they’re rather pricey, and getting one is sometimes darned near impossible. The things sell out within minutes of being available.

Well, it’s your chance … again!

Launching Friday, MKC is dropping seven editions of its excellent MagnaCut stainless steel hunting knives in blaze orange. This is first-come, first-served, so set your watch.

Here’s what you need to know.

MKC Blaze Orange Hunting Knife Sale

Well, “sale” is maybe the wrong term. These knives are dropping at full price. But there are incentives, and more importantly, they will be in stock.

Here’s what you need to know about the MKC Blaze Friday event:

  • The event goes LIVE on August 14, 2025, at 7 p.m. (MDT) and ends on August 17, 2025, at midnight (MDT)
  • MKC will drop seven knife models, all in Blaze Orange Cerakote.
  • A change to the last “Blaze Friday” lineup means the Marshall is out and the Elkhorn Skinner is in.
  • You can get the whole set of seven in a custom canvas knife roll for $1,900.

MKC Blaze Friday: A Sales Holiday for Hunters?

Everyone knows about Black Friday, Prime Day, Labor Day sales, and whatnot. But Blaze Friday? MKC is positioning its new sale as a “holiday made for hunters.”

“This is your chance to buy something that you actually want and need for this upcoming hunting season,” the brand wrote in its sales promotion. Not a bad idea.

These are the knives you can get, all in a blaze orange Cerakote finish. They’re among the best hunting knives you can get, and will likely sell out fast, so if you’re in the market for an MKC blade, now’s a great time to snag one.
