Corrie has been hand-making knives since 1965. Originally as a hobby, as with most knife makers, but recently has turned all of his efforts and time into knife making. His previous career as a surveying engineer has left him with a perfectionist quality. The sad end is all this time Corrie has been making knives that most of us never saw. You will be impressed with the unique designs as well as the precision craftsmanship Corrie produces. Corrie does spend a considerable amount of time hand making and fitting all his knives himself. He doesn't employ helpers, and doesn’t use automated jigs or equipment. All of Corrie's knife making equipment, grinders, etc. he has made himself.
