Equip your journey. Elevate your experience.
Dillard & Rachel George are the proud owners of Blade & Beam, a venture that emerged from our shared passion for the everyday carry (EDC) community. Based in the metro Atlanta area, we’re not just business partners; we’re a married couple with two kids who share a love for adventure and quality craftsmanship.
Our journey into the EDC world was fueled by years of fascination with the utility and artistry of knives and EDC gear. Dillard, a lifelong knife collector, has always appreciated the craftsmanship behind each blade. He has spent countless hours researching different makers, admiring their designs, and learning about the intricacies of materials and production techniques. His passion for small batch and custom made products inspired us to create something meaningful for the community. The idea for Blade & Beam came to us almost overnight. One evening, we began brainstorming, and by the next morning, we had a name, a concept, and a clear business plan. Everything just clicked, and that sense of clarity and purpose still drives us today. We officially opened for business in May 2023.
Our mission is to provide the EDC community with a single destination for small batch and custom made knives, lights, and accessories - everything you need to "Equip your journey. Elevate your experience". At Blade & Beam, we stand by every product and brand we feature because we’ve tested them ourselves. We know the value they bring and how they enhance our daily lives. Each piece we offer is chosen with care, reflecting our commitment to excellence and our love for the craft.
As we continue this journey, we are inspired by the stories of the people we meet, each one contributing their unique vision to the EDC community! We’re excited to contribute to a community that honors the amazing individuals who make the EDC community so vibrant. We’re dedicated to showcasing the incredible talent of our makers, providing a platform for collectors and enthusiasts to discover and support their favorites. Thank you for joining us on this adventure; we can’t wait to see where it takes us and to share it with you!
