THE KNIGHT LEGACY
It began in the shop of a gunsmith known for miles around as a master craftsman inventor, and a huntsman who had stalked the fields for decades. His name was Tony Knight. In his workshop in Putnam County Missouri, he listened to the stories of hunters using their muzzleloaders. Tony studied the history of the front-end loader. He studied the problems and strengths of the most primitive flintlocks to more modern muzzleloaders.
These guns had changed little in over a century. This sparked him to go to work creating a truly modern muzzleloader. As a result, Knight Rifles was born. Within a few years, what began as a vision led to the finest and most versatile black powder rifle ever forged. A truly safe and hand-crafted, muzzleloader that surpassed all others in accuracy. None were as smooth to operate or had such deadly down-range stopping power. A barrel and firing system capable of delivering any form of ammunition to its target with deadly accuracy.
This still holds true today as Knight Rifles continues to be the best in every aspect. We are rich in history and performance. We create the future of muzzleloading based on a solid foundation laid by those who have come before us.
In the years to come, you can expect only the best from Knight Muzzleloaders.
THE KNIGHT MK-85 MAKES THE FIELD & STREAM'S 50 BEST GUNS EVER MADE LIST
"Tony Knight is another country gunsmith who changed the way things are done. In 1985, he built muzzleloaders with the nipple at the rear of the barrel, directly behind the powder charge instead of alongside. This made ignition far more reliable and began the Great Blackpowder Revolution, which has resulted in muzzleloaders that are practically as accurate, reliable, and fast to load as cartridge-firing arms. All this drives traditionalists mad. But ordinary hunters love it." - Field & Stream
