At NOTOM, we celebrate the spirit of exploration and the courage to take the road less traveled. Our name is inspired by a name on a highway sign marking a turnoff on State Route 276 in the breathtaking deserts of southern Utah—a place that sparked a lifetime of curiosity for our founder, Devin. Each year, as he passed the mysterious sign for NOTOM on trips to Lake Powell, he found himself drawn to the word’s symmetry, simplicity, and intrigue. When it came time to break away from the ordinary and build something bold and new, "NOTOM" was the perfect symbol. It’s more than a name; it’s a mindset. NOTOM represents stepping into the unknown, embracing risks, and daring to create your own path. We’re here for the dreamers, the doers, and the adventurers. For those who find beauty in the unconventional and excitement in the uncharted. Join us in taking the unknown exit—where the unexpected leads to the extraordinary.
We believe that daily essential tools must be practical and dependable above all else. Nevertheless, aesthetic form should not be an afterthought. While function is essential, visual appeal enhances usability, fosters emotional connection, and enriches experiences. Form and function should work in harmony, as great design achieves both purpose and beauty, creating a lasting, meaningful impact.
Every material we select, every mechanism we engineer, every form we design serves a dual purpose: to perform flawlessly and to age gracefully. Because the objects we carry tell our story—not through flash or novelty, but through reliability, character, and considered design.
This is our contribution to the art of everyday carry: tools that honor both function and form, crafted for those who move through the world with intention. Who find beauty in utility and meaning in preparation. Who know that the right object, chosen carefully and carried daily, becomes more than a tool—it becomes a symbol and a reminder of who they are. Our products serve as tokens of commitment to step into the unknown.
