Barry Gallagher is a custom knifemaker
whose workshop is in Lewistown,
Montana. He began making knives
part-time in 1993 for local sportsmen and
outdoor enthusiasts who appreciated high
performance tools and handmade craftsmanship.
In 1994 he began hand-forging
carbon steel blades and making basic
Damascus steel, and in 1995 he became a
full time knifemaker. He says, "My tastes,
talent and technique have continuously
evolved since the first knife I made. My
passion for my work is stronger and
more alive than it has ever been. Nothing
is compromised in the making of any of
my knives—nothing." His knives have
been featured in many knife annuals and
magazines, including Blade and Knives Illustrated.
His knives have received awards
including Best Art Knife and Best of Show,
Oregon Knife Collectors Association;
Best Damascus and Best Folding Knife,
PKA Show; and Best Collaboration, Blade
Show. He is the designer of the CRKT
Glide Lock, Badger, and Rave.
