Award winning Montana knifemaker Barry Gallagher is noted for his one-of-a-kind collectable art knives in exotic materials. The problem for the average knife user is that Barry is very successful, selling out his handmade custom knives quickly at the national shows, and one each goes for the price of a good used pickup.
Columbia River approached Barry about producing a production folder inspired by his custom Damascus Hummingbird, featured in Blade magazine. They call the result the Montana Gentleman, a true Barry Gallagher interpretation of his classic designs that you can carry and use daily.
The basic construction is a rigid InterFrame build with two 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking. The blade is premium AUS-8 stainless steel with a Razor-Sharp edge and a Kraton® filled thumb stud, pivoting smoothly on Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot. They found a way to duplicate the hand file work inside and outside Barry's back spacer with CNC machining.
