We are 3 brothers from South Africa making knives in our small shop. It has been our passion for the last 20 years ever since our dad started making knives in the 90’s. We design and handcraft our knives using a superior quality steel in combination with authentic South African materials to create unique handles. Our designs are simple, yet beautiful. Our knives are tough enough to use, nice enough to collect.

 
I've been looking for a RINKHALS (not sure of the spelling) with Damascus blade but haven't been able to find one either new or pre-owned.
 
If there is a way to pre-order one, or even to have a custom one made, please let me know. Thank you.
The only thing I do not like about pre-orders if we do not have an exact date to launch it. We are new to BladeForums and not sure how to send PM's. You can send me your email and I will add your name to my order list. When they become available or close to ready I can contact you? Maybe that will work better?
 
Welcome!!! Glad to see you guys getting your own forum!

Looking forward to some Orca/iMamba runs!

Thank you very much. Will hopefully get the hang of it in the next few weeks.
 
Welcome! I sure love my iMamba too! You guys make fantastic knives. I'll be excited to follow along and see what you have in the works.
 
Thank you. We are new in the folder market but we are very excited and learning a lot.
Well you're doing a darned fine job for being newer in the market. I made a thread about the iMamba when I recieved mine and claimed (and still think) that your fit and finish looks to be on the same playing field as Chris Reeve Knives.

Thank you, much appreciated. All credit to Franco, the grinder and designer, and Arno with his eye for attention to detail. Chris Reeve do have the advantage of being 30 years ahead but I think in 2 years time we will be doing some great work. We definitely look up to them, especially when Chris was still active with the knives.
