Crafted with Purpose,
Built with Honor
We're not just making bracelets — we're creating meaningful connections between craftsmanship, community, and the values that define those who serve.
Our Mission
"To provide meaningful employment for veterans and first responders while creating products that honor service, support our community, and remind wearers of the strength within them."
A Journey from Service to Craftsmanship
When I left the military, I faced the challenge so many veterans know: finding purpose in civilian life. The structure, camaraderie, and sense of mission that defined my service suddenly felt absent.
Paracord crafting started as a way to keep my hands busy during the transition. I didn't expect it to become my new mission. There's something meditative about the process — each knot requires focus, patience, and precision. Skills every service member knows well.
What began at my kitchen table has grown into Knot Forgotten — a community of fellow veterans and first responders creating products with purpose. Every bracelet carries our shared values: duty, craftsmanship, and an unbreakable commitment to those we serve alongside.
