Knifemaker

Morne Zaayman

Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal

In Morne’s own words

I started making knives at the end of last year(2019)under the leadership of my father Barend.

I only completed my first knive during the coronavirus lock down.

I am currently only working on hunting knives and Siberian chefs knives.

I still have a lot to learn, but I am enjoying every step of the way..
