Harry Morseth immigrated to the United States from Norway in the early 1900s, and settled in Everett, Washington. An avid outdoorsmen, he knew the importance of a quality hunting knife, but was unimpressed with the factory made offerings available at the time. In 1925, he set out to craft his own custom knives for hunters and sportsmen in the the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and soon his knives became renowned nationwide. He continued making knives until he passed away in 1967, when the company name was carried on by his grandson Steve Morseth, and then the business was sold to A.G. Russell in 1971. Special made to order Morseth fighting knives were carried by a few fortunate US troops in Vietnam, usually sent by a parent or loved one back home, and were as highly prized as any other custom knife on the market.
