Savage Industries

Another happy instance where our story started by making a commissioned piece: Adam was in pursuit of making himself the perfect tool bag, so we got together and designed the EDC ONE. He loved it so much he figured others would too — and just like that, Savage Industries was born.

These days, we spend time with Adam at The Cave — his personal workshop in a converted warehouse in San Francisco’s Mission District. It’s part studio, part museum, packed with tools, materials, prop replicas, and builds from his time on MythBusters and Tested. We hang out there often, making things and swapping ideas while Adam shares his latest obsessions in sci-fi, design, or film.

Savage has a fanbase full of eager makers, so designing gear for them quickly segued into offering the design plans themselves — something that we still like to do for various projects today. Speaking of today, we’ve got a few new ideas born in The Cave that will be launching soon, so keep an eye out…
