  • Resumen

  • In this episode of Hustle Northwest, Carrie introduces a very special guest — her dad, Leon Adams — a knife maker with a passion for giving back. Since 2009, Leon has handcrafted over 115 custom knives, not for profit, but to help Oregon schools and communities, raising close to $200,000 through auctions.

    We talk about:

    • The first time he made a knife… and how it “wasn’t ugly, just rustic.”
    • How a school auction changed everything.
    • The insane story of a couple bidding against each other on the same knife.
    • What it takes (and how long it takes) to make one of his knives.
    • The dangers of knife-making (yep, it gets a little bloody).
    • Why he refuses to sell his knives — and how they’ve become trophies for school auctions across the country.

    From making knives with a Maytag motor to handcrafting one-of-a-kind blades from giraffe bone and elk antler, this episode is all heart. Leon shows us what happens when your passion becomes purpose.
