Knives By Waldu Massyn

Waldu Massyn is part time knife maker from Hartbeespoort. He started to pursue this hobby after the 2017 KGSA show. After setting up shop and manufacturing his own belt and disc sander, he completed his first knife in his workshop in 2018. His greatest inspiration and mentor is his father, who is a KGSA member.

His goal as an aspiring knife maker is to take first place in the Non-Guild competition and then followed by becoming a KGSA member as well. One of his greatest lessons learned, is that the next should always be better than the last. Knife making is not just a hobby, its part of his life and he looks forward to being part of this community for many years to come.
