: South African knifemaker Anton van der Westhuizen is from Port Elizabeth. He is an active member of the Knifemakers Guild of Southern Africa. He creates high end, elegant folding knives using only the best modern materials available. Some years ago, we were excited when he asked if we could feature some of his work at BladeGallery while we were visiting at the annual Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa Show, and his work has continued to develop and grow since then.
The blade is hand ground blackened Nebula damascus forged by renowned bladesmith Bertie Rietveld. The complex damascus pattern catches the eye and inspires the imagination. The blade is perfectly centered and has silky-smooth action thanks to the ceramic caged bearing system. The blade can easily be deployed using the ambidextrous flipper tab. Because the blade is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade from rust and oxidation.
The 6Al-4V titanium handle has a black Cerakote finish. The sturdy framelock provides a strong lockup. Crosscut ancient mammoth ivory is inlaid into the titanium frame. Matching nebula pattern damascus pivot collars surround the pivot. The nebula pattern damascus pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Exceptional work throughout.
