The mission of MunroeDesign is simple, to give you the Evolutionary Edge™. We strive to produce the finest quality, most thoroughly engineered and tested bladeware and accessories available on the planet Earth.

Based in the beautiful Gallatin Valley, Montana, the MunroeDesign Team was founded on the ideals of innovation and performance. MunroeDesign products are born in some of the wildest places in North America. We know what it's like to count on a piece of gear, whether for your food, your comfort, or even your life. That's why we use what we design, and we carry what we build. All of our products are proudly made in Montana by natives using 98% USA-made raw materials (Damasteel and Stellite account for the other 2%).

D. C. Munroe - Bladesmith, Armorer, Grindermonkey

Deryk is the main source of engineering and labor for the MunroeDesign team. A lifelong fascination with armament led him to create his first knife in 1984, and he followed a somewhat circular path to becoming a full-time knifemaker in 1997. Exploring the various aspects of the craft has driven him ever since and a wide range of blade styles including mosaic art, combat, swords, and utility knives have been designed and created in his shop. Getting him out of the mountains and off the firing range are the keys to timely production.

Jana Munroe - Webmonkey, Logistics, Customer Support

Jana has been involved with the custom knife industry since 1997. In addition to providing logistical support and creating some handmade knives and jewelry of her own, she also managed a retail knife store/gallery in downtown Bozeman, MT. An avid climber, she'd probably rather be on top of a mountain somewhere, but does enjoy doing the web design, coding, and logistics for the MunroeDesign team.

Jim Carlson - R&D, Performance Testing, Shopmonkey

Jim, an avid hunter and outdoorsman, is the primary field testing agent for MunroeDesign products. He's been exploring the plains and mountains of Montana since childhood, and enjoys spending his spare time devising new and devious ways to torture knives and gear ;)
