Collection: Everett Noel

Sierra Foothills, California

Everett Noel grew up in the Sierra Foothills of California, where he spent most of his time in the woods around his family home, and made his first knife at age thirteen, inspired by a knife-making video on YouTube. Today, he still works out of his family’s 24-acre property. He orders blocks of steel to heat, cut and hammer into shape, and repurposes files and rasps into blades; and carves elegant handles of local oak or maple.
