Our Story

About Knobs.co

Knobs.co is the flagship store of Tail of the Lion, Inc. — founded in 2002 by novelist and entrepreneur Dave Mason.

“Be a tail to lions, rather than a head to foxes.”

Our name comes from this ancient teaching, which means that one should always strive to attach themselves to greatness. More than twenty years later, that idea still shapes everything we do — the manufacturers we partner with, the people we hire, and the standard of service we hold ourselves to.

We believe cabinet hardware is the jewelry of the home: small details that make a big statement. And we believe choosing it should feel effortless. We work hard to stay on the cutting edge of technology, but there are real people behind it all — and we're always available for our clients.

Meet Kayla

The Keeper of the Knobs

Every business has that one person who actually gets things done. Years ago, at one of the brands we carried, that person was Kayla. A complicated order, a problem nobody else could untangle — the answer was always the same: ask Kayla.

So when that brand fell on hard times and let her go, we hired her the very same day.

Two decades in cabinet hardware later, Kayla has seen it all and consulted on thousands of projects. Today she's the main point of contact for our homeowners, designers, and trade professionals alike — and the heart of everything we do.
