Introduction

Learn more about who Carel Jordaan is.

I was born in Pretoria in 1989. I was introduced to knife making by a friend who introduced me to Ettienne Vorster. His absolute passion and willingness to help anybody that is serious about knife making,  stimulated my interest in this art form.
I have been making knives now for just over two year and although I am still learning, I really enjoy it. Under Ettienne’s guidance I hope to become a real professional knife maker.

My other interests are computers and hunting. I also like the bush and if I get time work out in the gym. I was born with a handicap and only use my one hand to make knives. Although this makes it much more difficult, I have learned to cope. I strive to be be a great maker of sought – after knifes that are perfect and a must be for any serious knife collector,
Knife making regards
