meteSA Blade
Sadly the forum for South African Blade will close down the end of this April !

A bad start for the day !
The forum hasn't been there long but that's not for lack of many fine craftsmaen in that part of the world .

GatogordoThat's too bad. First time I've visited it but there are some interesting blades and wood handle materials I've never heard of. Chikate, for one.
As you said, SA has some very talented makers. I'd love to buy one of the knives advertised but it is for sale only in SA.
Why is it shutting down, lack of participation or lack of money?

meteApparently it didn't grow as large and fast as the needed to survive.
I thought more people on AR would have been interested in the news.
