Kove Cutlery is a grassroots startup kitchen cutlery brand. It was founded by Shane Rienks, who also founded the industrial and automotive design firm Rienks Motor Design, LLC in 2020.

Shane Rienks is a 25-year-old multi-disciplinary industrial designer, with passions especially in the consumer, automotive, architecture, and space industries. He is pursuing an MFA in industrial design, and holds an AAS degree in automotive technology. Prior to pursuing an industrial design education, Shane established his foundation in the high-end custom and coach-built automotive industry. He has helped design and build multi-million-dollar all-carbon-fiber and hand-shaped metal cars, with his early years consisting exclusively of hands-on fabrication. Many of these cars have received national recognition and accolades - from magazine articles to awards. Shane continues to design for the high-end custom automotive industry, but is aiming to venture into the world of entrepreneurship and creating world-class consumer products.
