It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to close up my workshop.

The past year and a half have been an amazing journey, and I have made amazing connections with many people, buyers, and suppliers.

I started a new position beginning 2024, and with new family responsibilities and new commitments, knifemaking will have to stand down for now. Thus, I have decided to sell off my workshop and spend my free time on my many other existing hobbies.

I apologize to those who have been hoping to buy a knife, but realistically, I can not make it happen anymore. If you need some recommendations for other knifemakers, let me know... there are many great makers in our country!

Thank you for following along on my knifemaking journey, and hopefully, one day, we can pick up again where we left off.

God bless,
Riaan

Emergency sheaths for these Tuna fillet knives for a client for Christmas. Client supplied the knives and asked for some kydex sheaths. It was a pretty odd shape and difficult size to work with since it was wider than my kydex press. But overall it came out alright and I am pleased with the nylon webbing and mounting space ðŸĪ™

Way overdue and one of the most highly recommended knifemaking books by Master Smiths Kevin and Heather Harvey from 😎

Got my pen and glasses, time to get reading and start learning 💊

Whipped something up while working on some blades today. Tried using a rough grind and the mill scale surface as is, sandblasting it and doing a long stone wash after a deep ferric chloride etch. Had these OD green scales lying on my table for a while and decided to chuck them together with an orange back spacer. The final result was quite pleasing 😁
