South African Hawkbill?

[Dr.Lathe]

I met Andre de Villiers last year at the Florida Art Knife Invitational show in Orlando. I had heard of him through posts here at BF. I was amazed by the workmanship of his fine folders. Being a Hawkbill NUT, I was disapointed to see the one on his table was sold

This year, at the Blade Show I got to his table in time

In addition to the Hawkbill and several other full size models. He had some outrageous smaller knives on his table. His workmanship HAS to be seen in person. If anyone contacts him, please tell him you read this post here at BF!! It would be great if he joined!

This is a link to his website: http://www.knifemaker.co.za/default.htm

Not that you're any too shabby yourself, Neil.
