Our Story

When it comes to the things we own, we believe that story matters.

At Origin, we craft exceptional, utility-focused knives and handcrafted rings, with a focus on sustainably sourced and salvaged materials.

The craftsmanship and materials of each piece tell a story, connecting us to their history and encouraging us to carry it on.

Origin Handcrafted was founded by us!

Marc Liss and Kayla Penelton

We believe that by crafting quality products, with their own distinct history and character, we can in some small way, combat the modern throwaway culture.

What does handcrafted really mean?

At Origin, handcrafted means every single thing that comes out of our workshop has been focused on, tinkered with, and generally fussed over by Marc Liss. Whether its made on a lathe, a grinder or in a forge, Marc was the one to do it.
