I was born in 1965 in Welkom, Freestate. I am married to Hantie Vorster and have two beautiful children, Michelle and Jean, I started making knives in 1995 as a hobby and made it a full time business in 2004. I stay on a small holding just north of Pretoria at Bultfontein from where I  create my knives by Hand. I make knives out of 12c27, 14c28N, 19c27, N690, D2, 01, Panzer 36 and M390. I use all sorts of handle materials but like to work with Organic materials such as tusks, bone and indigenous wood
