Just got these but it's already a pair I'm really really digging. Always been a HUGE H10 fan and the drop/spear Bestman makes a perfect companion.

I had some fun making the little bone knife, hedge handles and a North American Cattle Bone blade as GEC would say!

Traditional and SAK

Ivory Bone is a big favourite

What's also notable here is the photo really usefully illustrates how on traditionals, just a centimetre or less can make a very significant difference to the overall feel or 'presence' of a knife.

I guess this would be notable triplets.....

The "nines" Kurt. Can I assume Michael is on par with other S.African makers?

Hey Bob. Michael’s knives are tip top. I could be wrong but I think the one he builds only have his name. If they are have MDK on them they are from his shop. His son helps with those. And his son has his own knives too. And I think other makers have come from his shop. Robbie Ferreira might have an association with Du Plessis. I vaguely remember reading that somewhere. Like I mentioned I could be wrong.

I just finished reading Covenant by James Michener. A good read about the history of South Africa. Recommended.

Thanks for your great response. I like the build of my Ferreira.
I will have to get a copy of Michener's book.
Appreciate your help Kurt.
