About the knife maker:
My handmade knives and sheaths are individually made by myself. I do not import cheap, mass-produced "custom" knives for resale. I am located in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. If you have any questions, please send me a message.

Knife making has always been my passion. As a lifelong outdoorsman, I have personally used and tried every design that I produce. The creation of each knife is a journey, starting with a shapeless piece of high quality steel. My choice of stainless steel is Böhler N690, tried, tested and proven for toughness, hard wearing and incredible edge retention. Each knife is individually ground and finished by hand to a scratch-resistant satin which will provide you with a durable knife made for hard work. The process of transforming raw steel into a finished product takes between 20 to 30 hours of manual labour.
My other passion is leather work. I make each individual sheath, wet formed, hand decorated and stitched from natural full-grain leather to fit the knife like a glove.
Even though my knives are based on designs, tried and tested by outdoorsmen, I do not mass produce duplicate knives, simply because I believe that each knife should be unique. Making knives is my passion and I make them in the hope that they will be trusted companions to those who use them. My mission is to make affordable, superior quality knives.
