Noah is a second generation Seattleite making knives out of his shop right on the Duwamish in Southpark. Noah found knifemaking in the aftermath of a life changing event. His path of healing started with making and cooking for his partner on their path to recovery. After 4 years of knifemaking he transitioned into culinary knives when he discovered the importance of nourishing those you love using cutting tools you have a connection with. Now Noah is committed to creating a quality product that's serviced for life by a craftsman you can trust, inspired by the pride and care of early American manufacturing; all while limiting his waste footprint and environmental impact. Larson Made stands for caring and repairing, not replacing. 

We push to do things the way they should be done, with our impact at the forefront of how we make a quality product.

Not only do we make cutting tools built to last a lifetime but we think about how much waste we are creating while we do it. We are proud to disclose we are creating about 1 tall kitchen garbage bag of waste a month, most of that being biodegradable. We produce nearly 0 plastic waste and only use 100% recyclable and biodegradable packaging made from post consumer waste. We will continue to push ourselves to reduce our footprint everywhere we can because, frankly, it matters a whole lot more than we account for. 

The woods used in our handles are all sourced locally so we don't create a large carbon footprint flying exotic hardwoods halfway across the world. Not to mention that most of these exotic woods are not harvested ethically and some varieties even cause localized wars.

We want to leave a lasting legacy of quality handmade knives without the permanent footprint on our planet; most importantly, we want to leave it better than we found it for future generations.
