Hi everyone 👋

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, so I just wanted to say that I’m still alive, still kicking — and still making knives! 🔪

This one’s a recent creation — a bit of a long video, but I hope you’ll find it interesting.

If you’d like to get in touch, please WhatsApp me at +27 72 638 6189 or email me at [email protected]
I don’t often check Facebook or Instagram messages, so if you send a message there, there’s a good chance I won’t see it.

Thanks for taking the time to watch — and take care!

P.S. The video’s in Afrikaans, but even if you don’t follow along, you can still appreciate the craftsmanship 😉

Excited to Share a Custom-Made Piece:

This 21cm knife, boasting a 10cm blade, is one of my recent creations for a client. It features a unique chamois horn handle, a visually striking material that also holds significance in European mountain culture. The chamois, a species of goat-antelope known for its agility in rugged terrains, adds a touch of the wild to the knife. The knife is completed with a warthog tusk bolster and brass detailing, blending nature and craftsmanship.

Note on Linguistics: The linguistic differences are quite fascinating to me. In Dutch, the male chamois is called 'gemsbok' (gems + buck), but in Afrikaans, 'gemsbok' refers to a completely different animal, the Oryx.

For any queries, please contact me at [email protected].

Hierdie enetjie vanoggend klaargemaak. Firestorm Damascus jagmes met waboom hout op.

Vir die wat nie geweet het nie:
Waboom is die enigste proteaspesie wat groot genoeg word sodat die hout gebruik kan word. Dit het sy naam te danke aan die Voortrekkers wat die boom se hout gebruik het om ossewaens van te maak. Die hout van die boom het nie reguit vesels nie, maar is inmekaar gevleg. Dit maak die hout besonder sterk. Verskeie onderdele van 'n ossewa, soos die wielvellings was hiervan gemaak.

Dankie vir die belangstelling!
