Jason Hawk is a real-life cowboy who not only dresses like one but also looks the part. And while Jason doesn’t carry guns in his holder, he is no stranger when it comes to knives. One may say that Jason is a modern cowboy who wields knives as opposed to guns. With his trusted horse by his side, Jason navigates the sandy terrain of the Arizona Desert. Jason rose to fame following his numerous appearances in the reality television show which featured people living in some of the most remote regions around the United States. In due course, Jason was selected to be one of the main cast members of the reality series, Mountain Men.

Early Life:

Jason Hawk was born in June 1975 in Arkansas, USA. Due to Jason’s obvious disdain for the modern way of life, there is very little information about his early life. Jason grew up in Arkansas and idolized his father Jim Hawk who was a craftsman. Jason would spend time around his father’s shop where he learned handcrafting. He was particularly fascinated by knife-making and devoted most of his time to the craft. Following his interest, Jason obtained a hunting license when he was just 15 years of age. After finishing high school in Arkansas, Jason left for Montana to study metal fabrication and welding. He attended Montana State University.

Career & Progression:

Jason began his career as a knife craftsman and set up shop alongside his father. He later moved to the Ozark Mountains in Montana and started living in remote areas. After a few years, Jason came back to the mainland and started working as a chef. Deciding that the culinary world wasn’t for him, Jason set up another blade-wielding store by the name of Outlaw Forge Works. His stay in Montana was shortened as he returned to the Ozark Mountains.

His unique way of life attracted interest from several fields including several production houses. In 2014, Jason was invited to become a part of the show, No Man’s Land. He was featured in all eight episodes of the series which documented the lifestyle of people living in remote areas.

Mountain Men:

One thing led to another and Jason was selected to be a part of the critically acclaimed series, Mountain Men. He made his debut in 2016 (season 5 episode 4 ” No Man Is an Island”)  and appeared in 49 episodes until 2021. Mountain Men season 11 premiered on September 1, 2022, however, Jason left the show as his contract was not renewed following the conclusion of season 10. The timing of his exit coincides with his health issue as Jason was diagnosed with cancer and evidently, he left the show to focus on treatment.

During his stay, Jason displayed his exceptional skills as a hunter, blacksmith, and homesteader. And while on the show Jason shared the television screen with other Mountain Men such as  Eustace Conway, Morgan Beasley, Tom Oar, Marty Meierotto, Mike Horstman, and Jake Herak.

Forging:

The reality television star had been involved in knife craftsmanship long before the world came to know him as a Mountain Man. Jason was into crafting starting from childhood whereas got into forging blades in 1999. And over the years of working as a bladesmith, Jason got recognition in the forging community and got the title of “Master Smith” from Neo Tribal Metalsmith founder and knife-making legend Tai Goo.

Jason put emphasis on traditional craftsmanship and makes hand-crafted items. Taking his business online, Jason has set up the website jasonhawkknives.com where he sells his knives under the business name  “Outlaw Forge Works.” 

Health Struggle:

At the age of 45, Jason Hawk was diagnosed with Cancer. He had been suffering from pain for about a year before he finally went to visit the doctor. After the initial suspicion of Cancer, Jason went through multiple tests in a span of a few months in the latter part of 2020, and the condition was found to be Malignant Cancer.

On January 3, 2021, Jason Hawk and Andrea Baldwin organized a team fundraiser. By that time Jason was left out of the Mountain Men cast list and to raise funds, he sought donations. The fundraiser’s goal was to collect $130,000 of which $36, 870 came from 414 donations.
