    He made some lovely tanto blades in the ‘80s.


    I really like some of his blade designs



    These are quite special - Peter was commissioned in 1990 to make a knife for the SA special forces with three patterns being submitted. They selected one of which 150 were made. These were all unmarked. Years back I was lucky to get the original three from him which he submitted.


    These are the ABCD of classic South African survival knife makers. Arbuckle, Bauchop (his two versions with the Recce survival and the small LWS), Chris Reeve and Derek Rausch


    The Bauchop Light Weight Survival (LWS) knife above, of which he only made handful of, was his personal knife which was the only one that was gunblued.

    Amazing collection! I'd love to see those sometime.

    Yes and not unlike guns. :) We have such a great heritage of skillful knife makers in SA that it is easy to hoard their contributions to the craft.

    You certainly know your stuff Steven.
    Neels has talent for sure and he executed perfectly on this commission.

    Does anyone on here own a knife by Ironside Edgeworks? Seems to specialize in Combative stabbing knives and I really really really want one....
