The big move is just 2 weeks away. I'm immigrating to New Zealand and this is soon to be the new home of Ant Hill Forge. It's a humble little space to work in for the mean time.

I want to thank all my South African followers, clients and students for the last 3 years. It's been great meeting you, teaching you and settling you knives. I hope you'll keep following my endeavors.

Wishing you all a great festive season!!!
