Meet Joel Austin!
Joel is a fantastic knife maker and a great human in general. Joel is from Batesville Arkansas. He grew up always carrying and using knives for hunting and trapping. He really fell in love with them after watching First Blood as a kid.

Joel became fascinated with M.S. Jim Crowells work. When he decided to start making knives he took a day class with Mr. Crowell. Mr Crowell has been a great mentor to Joel for the past 16 years.

Make sure to stop by and see Joel’s awesome work at the NSKS 26 show!
