MEET TEAM REVO! It started with a common drive and passion. We wanted to create a brand that represented our core values, creative ambition, and our unique personalities. We believe our designs represent a piece of our personalities. Function is a priority in every REVO design, and character must be undeniable!

ORIGINS. Thomas and Lawrence grew up in Denver, CO near the current location of the REVO Factory and Headquarters. Thomas still remains in Colorado. A great location offering the perfect landscape for real world outdoor product testing! Lawrence now resides in New Jersey which has a unique combination of urban and rural influence in product design philosophy.

THE REVO IDENTITY: At REVO we believe that character and identity are equaly important as price and value when creating a brand. We believe that each product should reflect a part of our unique attributes as designers and enthusiasts, After extensive experience in the knife and gear industry we noticed a trend of 'faceless' companies all racing to make the cheapest product, but with no real heart and soul behind the brand. At REVO we live with the products we build and engage with the community we are a part of. This identity is an integral part of the REVO brand.
