Basic Introduction
I was always interested in making knives but due to lack of information and nobody in my area doing this craft the interest died down untill I saw Forged in Fire and that sparked an internet search where I found the Cape Knife club in 2017.
Favourite Handle Materials
I like using a combination of natural materials and synthetic materials.
Favourite Steel
High carbon steel and Stainless steel.
Signature product
I like the bigger shaped knife.
Technical
I have no formal training.
The future
I would one day like to join the Knifemakers Guild of South Africa.
