Custom Knifemaker Profile:Jan Wahl
A member of the Knifemakers' Guild of Southern Africa since 2012 and 'is loving every moment.'
Jan Wahl grew up enthused with knives and swords. His real introduction to knife making started while he was working at a taxidermy when one of his co-workers made a knife out of an old saw blade. He fascinated over the idea of his grandchildren being able to say, 'My grandfather made this knife!' So, his father found a blacksmith near there town where Jan got to work and learn under.
His father-in-law encouraged him to pursue his passion of knife making full time, so that's exactly what he did in 2009 and he's loving it every day!
