Helderberg, Western Cape

In Andries’s own words

I, Andries Venter, am a manufacturer of custom handmade knives and I’m based in the Western Cape.

Since I was young I always had a fondness of looking for cool items to collect and knives were one of them. About 4 years ago I decided it was time for me to make my own.

I started making knives and decided that I’ll never stop.

So this year I started my business and I’m making and selling knives. Can’t wait to see where it goes..
