Blaber Blades

“I have been making knives since 1993, I've always had a passion for knives and spent my pocket money buying my first knife at the corner Cafe when I was a young boy and like most boys, I took it apart, modified it to my liking and put it back together again.

Today my workshop is based in Porterville in the Western Cape. My style of knife making is old-fashioned and form and function are of the utmost importance to me.

I use recycled old saw blades that are made out of high-quality carbon steel and mostly use old red wine barrel on my handles, although I do use indigenous African woods as well. I have three ranges of kitchen knives a Pro, standard, and forged effect.

I also make hunting/ biltong and camping knives which all come with a handcrafted leather sheath for easy carrying. I am evolving every day and come up with new designs so visit my stall at the Neighbourgoods Biscuit Mill market I am there every Saturday.”
