: 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 modified sheepsfoot blade is RWL-34 stainless steel with a black Cerakote finish. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured by ERASTEEL in Söderfors, Sweden. Because it is manufactured from rapidly solidified powders, the microstructure of the steel is much more uniform. This gives the steel much higher strength and durability while maintaining very high wear resistance.

The hand ground blade is perfectly centered and has silky-smooth, drop-shut action, thanks to the ceramic IKBS bearing system. The blade can easily be deployed using the ambidextrous front flipper tab. Disengage the lock and the blade effortlessly drops shut.
The 6Al-4V titanium handle features a matching blacked out Cerakote finish. The sturdy framelock provides a strong lockup. The inlays, backspacer and pocket clip are matching heat colored Black Timascus zirconium/titanium damascus. The pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
