Welcome to De Beer Knives' website, this is where you can relax and browse the showcase of our creations

We are situated in Mossel Bay, South Africa. We have a long and proud tradition of knife making where many knife makers of international renown produces their knives.

At De Beer Knives we have committed ourselves to contributing to this high standard and tradition. The result, we believe, is a selection of knives that are as tough, as durable, and as adventurous as the people that will use them professionally or recreationally.


Every De Beer Knife is hand-made using only the best materials that are available to us:

  • Our handcrafted blades are manufactured from various Sandvik or Bohler strip steel. Each blade is individually heat treated in our workshop and then Rockwell certified. We usually run our blades between 58 and 60 RC. Blades can be given a bead blast; mirror polish or satin finish.
  • For our handles, we offer a variety of natural stabilized materials many of which are only to be found in Southern Africa. For very hard use and tactical/ survival knives we will often recommend the use of MICARTA products.
At De Beer Knives we are proud to be able to cultivate a special relationship with our clients. We enjoy making knives and we look forward to exchanging ideas with you.

It bears pointing out that because each knife is made individually from start to finish by hand in our workshop, no two knives are exactly the same. Each knife is well and truly unique.
