Pieter van der Bank

I was born and raised on a farm in the Limpopo province, after my family moved to Heidelberg a few years ago I became an apprentice in Andries' workshop where I learned the skills of working with metal.  In 2016 I travel through Thailand where I was introduced to bladesmithing and specifically forged herb cleavers.  After getting home I was determined to master the skill of bladesmithing. 

I am privileged to be a part of the Cape Knifemakers Guild.

 Carbon steel and unique handle materials are meticulously combined to create blades both beautiful and practical; the primary focus being on chef's and utility knives, each and every item is crafted to be capable of withstanding generations of use.
