Steve Hoel made his first fixed blade knife in 1953. In 1974 Steve Hoel ventured to California, where he spent three days in the shop of Bob Loveless and Steve R. Johnson, who were partners at that time. This was his first real exposure to the manufacturing process of high quality handmade knives.
Shortly thereafter he made his first interframe and multiblade folders. In 1978, he joined the Knifemakers Guild, and one year later he retired from his warehouse job and began making knives full time.
When Steve made his first knife in 1953, he did not have any sophisticated tooling. His simple manufacturing methods included files, sandpaper and drills.
Steve was one of the first to design his knife shapes for engraving. He worked closely with the master engravers to develop the engraveable art knife design.
Steve has developed the careers of many engravers and is still finding and developing new engraving talent today. His shop is now quite sophisticated and he is a master maker of folding knives.Website of Moro Knives
