   Blades for a Cause: How One Man’s Hobby Raised $200K for Oregon Schools — Leon Adams; Adams Knives | ep 41

   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. 👋 Know a school or fundraiser that might benefit from Leon’s work? You can reach him directly at leonlnadams@aol.com or give him a call at (503) 551-3913.
