Todd Beggs' love for knives resulted in his first successful attempt at creating one in 1983, when he was in junior high school. When Todd was 20, he joined the military as an NBC Recon team member and found himself using tactical knives in the field on a daily basis, inspiring him to want to create knives that were functional, unique and aesthetically pleasing. He consumed everything he could about the construction, metals and materials and design of knives and credits Bob Loveless’s book, 'How To Make Knives', as the spark that lit the fire. In 1998, Todd completed a Machine Shop Technology Program from San Juan College in Farmington, NM. Todd lives in Dallas, Texas as full-time knifemaker. He also holds the position as a Board Director of the Knifemakers’ Guild (2022 President) along with other seats in various knife organizations.
JVO Design is Jared Van Otterloo. "I have always had a fascination with knives, as far back as my memory can provide. When I reached a time in my life of having disposable income I began to collect knives and really took an interest in folders. I was drawn in by the mechanical meets artistic concept and spent several years buying, selling, trading, and collecting folding knives. As time wore on I wanted more… not more knives, but continued learning and a chance to participate in the industry. In 2014 I met Greg Lightfoot and Rod Olson at a local metal art show, from that point forward my brain began to purge all my thoughts into knife design, and I built up JVO Design into a household name. I collaborated on 77 folding knife designs with some of the most prolific makers in the tactical knife genre. In 2018 I began to make folding knives out of my own shop."
