An avid outdoorsman and instructor, Joe is based out of the mountains of North Carolina, yet his ventures take him all around the world searching for animals, and learning primitive and survival skills.

His love for machetes and the outdoors teamed him up with companies like Condor Knives, and his machete and knife designs are well known throughout the knife and outdoor world. Joe works frequently with TOPS Knives, a U.S. manufacturer and one of the official sponsors of Bushcraft Global, designing for them and brainstorming ideas. 

Recently, Joe also started designing for CJRB and Artisan. As a knife designer, Joe Flowers has over 150 Knife and equipment designs for various knife and outdoor companies.
