As seen on History's "Mountain Men"
Raleigh Avery has been crafting custom knives for the past 5 years.
In addition to running Avery Knifeworks on his own, Raleigh is a full time student at Appalachian State University pursuing a degree in Marketing to further support his business.
Raleigh works with his friend and mentor Eustace Conway at Turtle Island Preserve, learning nearly forgotten work ethics while teaching and continuing the old ways of life.
"Since early childhood I've been one to tinker and explore, I grew up in the woods outside of my suburban neighborhood and whatever sort of 'shop' I could create for myself. The culmination of my skills and passions came together when I was introduced to knife-making by Preston Roberts, a master craftsman and educator, who later became a mentor and friend. I was so blessed to have that opportunity and I am still growing with it today. It's a passion and a dream come true to be spending my time devoted to my craft, working with my hands and creative spirit to produce highly functional art."
