About the Maker
Doyle, Patrick
Even though my knives are meant to be used, I don’t cut any corners in quality. Flashy, mirror polished display pieces aren’t really my bag. Not that I won’t try something different, I just feel a knife first and foremost is a cutting tool, and if it doesn’t do it well while remaining comfortable, then it’s not right and no amount of fancy materials or polish will ever fix that. Founder Patrick Doyle's interest in knives began at the age of 10. Around that time, he received a book called "How to make Knives" by Bob Loveless. He began by looking at the pictures inside the book, grabbed a file and went at it on the bench grinder. Needless to say, he didn't get too far at that point in time, but little did he know at that age, he was well on his way to perfection. Fast forwarding to his late 20's, Patrick's parents moved away, leaving a box behind filled with his old tools inside. Over time, he slowly accumulated even more tools and knowledge which lead him to purchasing a book titled "$50 Knife Shop" by Wayne Goddard. Starting right back up, Patrick began modifying old knives and re-handling them, with the determination to push further in his craft. Doyle Knives was born in 2011.

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."
