In Rob’s own words

My name is Robert Costall I live in Mthatha in the eastern cape. I have been making knives for almost 5 years. It all started by my attempt to fix the handle of one of our new kitchen knives. I saw how poorly it was made and I thought that I could do a much better job. I started off with a home built coal forge and a file and before I knew it things had progressed to where I am today making swords and various types of design and styles.
