If you love craftsmanship, creativity, and things made with real skill, then make sure to visit the Cape Knife Show at Tygervalley’s Arena on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by the Cape Knife Club, this annual event promises to be a showcase of some of the finest handcrafted knives South Africa has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cape Knife Club<\/a> (CKC) was founded in 1991 by a group of local knife-making enthusiasts who wanted to share ideas, improve their craft and host exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the club has grown into a vibrant community of makers \u2014 from hobbyists crafting the occasional blade to full-time professionals whose knives are sought after around the world.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the club’s members, such as Des Horn, Ettore Geoferrarie and Philip Dunn, have achieved international recognition for their exceptional craftsmanship. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

45 makers under one roof\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year’s show will feature around 45 knife makers from across South Africa, as well as suppliers selling everything from steel and handle materials to tools and machinery for anyone wanting to start making their own knives. Prices range from R600 to R20 000, with each blade a unique piece of art forged by hand.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A club spokesperspon says the growing popularity of television programmes like Forged in Fire has helped spark worldwide interest in knife making. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CKC has embraced this passion, offering monthly meetings, hands-on demonstrations and a strong online presence on Facebook, Instagram and www.capeknifeclub.co.za. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your R50 entry ticket not only gives you access to the show but also enters you into a lucky draw to win a R3,000 handmade folder by Andre Viviers. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For another R50, visitors can take part in a special draw for the Xyro folder crafted by the internationally renowned Gareth & Jason Bull of Bull Knives. The Xyro has an international retail price of $450 (approximately R8 500). This folder features a stain and wear-resistant M390 blade, bearings for smooth action, and a titanium and carbon fibre.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cape Knife Show runs Saturday 25 October from 09:00-17:00 and Sunday 26 October from 09:00-15:00 at Tygervalley Arena.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
