We are a small blade creation company that specialises in the production of hand-crafted custom knives. We are passionate about excellent quality knives for either your kitchen or everyday outdoor use.
We have a standard EDC (Everyday Carry) knife, and a standard kitchen pairing knife. You can view both on our Products page.
Although there are standard blade shapes, we can adapt and tweak any design to fit your needs and preferences.
There are two different styles of knife tangs, one is called hidden tang and is as the name suggests the tang is hidden in the handle. The other is full tang where you can see the tang all the way around the handle.
We can source any wood you might want for your handle but have some standard woods that we will have in stock. We can make your handle to any shape you would like, here are some handle shape ideas
We can do custom spine work with a design of your choice. We can also do custom inlay using copper, brass or stainless steel.

We are Josh and Ben, brothers who make the knives happen! We live on a farm just outside of Robertson, South Africa. We first became interested in knife making a few years ago when with our friends we organized a "weapons day" where we all competed in a weapons making competition. That is when we made our first blade and from there we kept on improving our knife making game.
This knife was designed for the main uses of carving, camping, fishing and farming to name a few.

This type of steel is prone to rust but makes up for that with how sharp it can get and how long it can hold that edge. Storing correctly prevents rust from forming. The handle is made from oak and the pins are stainless steel
