Frik Kruger

I am a knifemaker residing outside the sleepy rural town of Northam, Limpopo. All my knives are lovingly crafted in my fully-equipped workshop, which features all the knifemaking tools and machinery needed to produce top-quality artisan blades.

Throughout my knifemaking career, I have attended various courses run by well-known knifemakers. Among these courses are Fixed Blade and Linerlock Folding Knives at Herbst Knife Academy, Introduction to Blades, Smithing, and Damascus courses at Heavin Forge, Linerlock from Jan Hendrik Viljoen, and Advanced Damascus from Henning Wilkinson.

I forge my own Damascus steel and my shop is equipped with a power hammer and a 25-ton hydraulic press.
