Post by Timothy La Combre »

Been off the forums for some time. Here's some pics of the first off the bench for 2025 and the first of a new profile I have been working on.
Hope you all have a great year ahead

Timothy,

Very nice knife. Do you have a seller website?

Welcome to spend some time here, even if you could only
give us 1 hour a week. :D

Thanks. I do but not sure about the rules in regards to advertising. Been a few years since I have been active on the forums. A hour a week might be pushing it though :D I only get time these days to make one or two a month but will be sure to post when I do.

All your custom knives are fantastic ::tu:: I especially like that Wharncliffe Swayback...gorgeous piece and exactly the type I collect ::drool::

I would love to know more...like where you are located (USA or another country?), and how to access your selling site (It's OK to post a link here if you want to).

Welcome to AAPK and Mahalo for showing your work...please continue to do so ::nod::

Thanks, appreciate the kind words. I am from South Africa. Was a full time maker for close of 15 years until the lock downs. Now I home school my children and make a few every month as time permits. I do have a website and will post the link below.

What is it about South Africa that turns out so many excellent custom knife makers? (Ras Venter, Gavin Margrate, Willem O'Kelly, Timothy La Combre, just to name a few). They must be putting something in the water down there! :lol: Mahalo for the link ::tu::

Here's a thread you might find interesting:

That's a beauty, reminds me a bit of the folding Grohmann knives.

I've seen your name around on Facebook pages and such, you do very nice work. Please continue sharing!!!

Thanks. Appreciate it. It does look like the Grohmann though I only noticed that after the fact. I wanted something for skinning rabbits. Just shows that there s nothing new under the sun.
Will do
