Long time no post! (Many run on sentences ahead.) A handful of you have checked in to make sure we are OK over here. We are!! For as weird as 2020 was, it was actually a very stabilizing time for us here at NORA. For those that don’t know, Steve transitioned back to full-time work for a large company and so we are no longer full-time knife makers over here. (Hence the lack of inventory lately, sorry!) While our egos were probably a bit bruised over this, our day to day lives have become much more stable. Its been a great change and one that we both needed. Truth be told, we were just getting ..read more

Alis Volat Propriis (latin) translates as: She flies with her own wings. (* Also, official motto of Oregon.) We made this one in honor of the owner @noblebirdrotisserie. She is a woman and mother of two that is working tirelessly to keep her brand new restaurant going strong. She is also a friend. We sit back and watch her go, go, go and then feel terribly uncomfortable about our lack of work ethic in comparison. Seriously though, she and her husband are amazing. Even better, the food is amazing. If you are anywhere near Long Beach (CA) then please do yourself a favor and grab some un ..read more

New idea used on one from the last batch we just sold. I’ve been playing with our engraver for textures on the grip of one of my firearms and thought that I could use the same idea on chef knives to help with a pinch grip.
