In Tim’s own words
Tim Brown, Blacksmith and Knifemaker. I am a part-time soon to be full time blacksmith and knifemaker. I am located in Benoni Gauteng.
I have been making knives and blacksmithing tools for the past 4 years. I am now in the process of becoming a full time maker.
I mainly do forged knives and I am currently in a dagger and sword phase. I also make blacksmith tongs and hammers.
Thank you for looking.
