It seems that South African makers have taken more a refined design aesthetic compared to the American "overbuilt” motif. We have great makers here in the states, but the sleek designs I see here are visually stunning and just different enough to create their own style. I've got to get my hands on a Thorburn or Prisloo or Des Horn before much longer. Amazing.

Could not agree more about the "overbuilt" aspect and the flat grinds and thin edge bevels on the SA makers knives make for guess what, here it comes.... great cutting/slicing!

Thanks for sharing, lots to lust after there!

 

[RamZar]

Wow! Great knives and pictures. I would've liked more labels on who the makers are.

Your subject line may need a second warning: Extremely desirable!

Yikes my bank account would be hurting

There seems to be trouble with the South African postal service right now, Right as my Andre De Villiers Butcher was set to ship out to me. I love the work of South African makers.
