On this page I show the various types of knives that I built. Each one of these can be built with different handles consisting of hard woods, animal bone or ivory from hippopotamus-teeth or warthog.

Being a hunter myself I designed the above while sitting in a hide with my bow waiting for the prey. Built from Tambotie hardwood and 12c27 stainless steel (hardened to +- 58 Rockwell) it is light, washable and can be dismantled. The Lion in the front is laser-cut. The pouch is handmade from genuine leather. I also used 12c27 stainless for the blade and 303 stainless for the bolster. The blade is filed with grape vine pattern and the bolster is engraved . Cocobocola-wood is used for the handle. ![]() Although a section was devoted to folding knives , this page would be incomplete not to include a folder. This blade and bolster with Demascus from Hans Bosch is coloured to match the handle from Buffalo horn. | ![]() This slick Bird-and-Trout knife is mainly used for the skin of fish where delicate cutting is required. I used 12c27 steel for the blade and 303 stainless for the bolster. The Desert wood is complimented with a small piece of Warthhog. ![]() I used 12c27 steel for the blade and 303 stainless for the bolster.
