Knifemaker
Shaun Naudé
Bloemfontein, Free State
In Shaun’s own words
My name is Shaun H Naude,born in the then highveld in Springs.
I am currently residing in bloemfontein and am married and have 3 children.
I started making knives in 2005 due to a friend requesting me to do so as a birthday gift to his father.
Following this I became aware of a knife making community and have been making since.
I am inspired by history and primarily forge my knives.
Written for this directory in 2020.
