First of 2025
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.

Re: First of 2025
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

Re: First of 2025
All your custom knives are fantastic


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

Re: First of 2025
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.QTCut5 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 3:16 pmAll your custom knives are fantasticI especially like that Wharncliffe Swayback...gorgeous piece and exactly the type I collect

Re: First of 2025
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!
Mahalo for the link

Re: First of 2025
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.glennbad wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 12:42 pmThat's a beauty, reminds me a bit of the folding Grohmann knives.Timothy La Combre wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2025 6:45 am Been off the forums for some time.
